Playwrights\u2019 Workshop Montr\u00e9al (PWM<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong> is a national creation and development centre for theatre and performance led by a team of dramaturgs and arts administrators. While playwriting has been at the core of what we do for 60 years, our work also includes devised, digital, and interdisciplinary forms of creation. In addition to seeking collaborations across diverse artistic practices, we are strongly committed to supporting work which reflects a wide range of cultural identities and lived experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This joint support is part of the MAI\u2019s Alliance program<\/a>, an artist-support platform that welcomes 10 \u2013 15 artists, collectives and companies per year. MAI\u2019s Alliance program provides assistance and project coordination support, and the possibility for a wide range of services related to the artists\u2019 learning, creation, mentorship, collaboration and professionalization needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Personalized project coordination support;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 $5,000 fund allocation from the MAI for the development of a project* ;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Training, referrals, collective reflection opportunities, and other support meetings;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 80 hours of access to the MAI rehearsal studios;<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 30 hours with a PWM dramaturg, including a 20 hour workshop in PWM\u2019s studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n R\u00e9f\u00e9rez-vous au Artist\u2019s Guide<\/a><\/strong> pour plus de d\u00e9tails sur ce que comprend ce partenariat conjoint, les crit\u00e8res d'admissibilit\u00e9 et autres conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n *The PWM + MAI Joint Support Program is not a grant program. The program offers an allocation of funds ($5,000) for the artist to establish mentorships and collaborations, supporting their learning and creation process (for example, to work with a mentor, a sound designer, a choreographer, a grant writer, or other experts and collaborators).<\/strong> You can read \u2018MAI\u2019s allocations: How They Work<\/a>\u2019 for more information about what is eligible and ineligible in spending these funds on your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dramaturgie<\/strong> is an exploration of all the elements that make a work, how they are brought together to create meaning, and what the process for developing that work might be. PWM primarily works on projects that centre text and narrative but also on pieces where text and storytelling are not the primary components or concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PWM\u2019s work centres the artist and our dynamic collaborative process is tailored to meet the needs of their project. We listen deeply to understand who an artist is, what they are making and how they want their work to evolve. We offer feedback and reflection through questions and conversation and often accompany the artists from draft to draft or iteration to iteration. We work one-on-one, but also through workshops and residencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PWM understands that the work of playwriting and performance making is not created in a vacuum, but that it interacts with society. Theatre can be impactful, and therefore PWM considers not only how a piece is made and by whom, but also its effect and meaning beyond the walls of its creation studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill out this Google form<\/a> by October 22, 2023, 11:59PM EST.<\/strong> You will be asked to provide the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Video or audio responses are also accepted through the Google form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any questions regarding accessibility, require assistance with your application, or would like to discuss alternative methods of applying and deadline flexibility, please contact accessibility@playwrights.ca<\/a>.
