Theatre Gargantua’s Winter 2023 TD Emerging Artist Roundtable Series is a forum for emerging artists and graduating post-secondary students to engage directly with professional theatre makers. Moderated by Gargantua’s Artistic Director Jacquie P.A. Thomas, these sessions empower participants to develop creative relationships that help bridge the gap between formal training and professional work. This winter, a group of 10-12 emerging artists will come together in a series of four sessions featuring compelling guest speakers. Participants will gain insights into the Canadian theatre industry and will learn how to carve out a place for their own work. The Roundtable is an opportunity for a diverse collection of artists to connect with each other — artists from all theatrical disciplines are welcome to apply.
For our winter series we will be offering sessions via zoom to allow emerging artists from across the country to participate.
We strongly encourage and will prioritize applicants from equity-deserving communities, historically excluded or marginalized groups, and individuals whose identities exist at the intersections of these groups.
Participation is free. Space is limited.
OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:
- Provocative discussion with professional artists
- Artist mentoring
- Networking
- Connecting with fellow emerging artists
- Access to Theatre Gargantua performances
