With the skilled guidance of acclaimed translator Maureen Labont\u00e9<\/a> and in partnership with the Fondation Cole<\/a>, PWM has built a program that mentors emerging translators through every stage of their process in writing a new translation of a play. The successful applicant to this year\u2019s program will receive a $2,000 honorarium and a mentorship with Maureen Labont\u00e9, including a workshop with actors and a public reading. The mentorship begins in March 2025, and lasts for approximately one year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

PWM welcomes all applications. While recognizing that the identity of each person is fundamentally plural, and multidimensional, we strongly encourage applications from artists who are: Indigenous (First Nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit), Black, POC, racialized (including recent immigrants), 2SLGBTQQIPAA+, neurodivergent, disabled, living with chronic illness and\/or chronic pain. PWM is strongly committed to supporting a wide range of cultural identities and lived experiences, therefore we encourage applicants to self-identify in their application if they are comfortable doing so.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

To be eligible, emerging translators must reside in Montreal and have completed at least one translation which has received a workshop, public reading, publication or production. Because the focus is supporting emerging translators, the applicant must not have done more than three play translations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With What Play(s)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before applying for the Mentorship, emerging translators must choose the play they wish to translate and contact the playwright for permission: Establishing a connection to the play and the playwright in advance means that the applicant would be in a position to begin work immediately following the announcement of the selected project in late February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translations must be from French into English only. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full-length scripts, one-acts or TYA (theatre for young audiences) projects are all welcome. Please note, our experience does not extend to the translation of musicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
