Do you need financial support for professional development or a "change of direction" in your career? We are now inviting applications for the March 1, 2016 deadline for our Professional Theatre Training Program (PTTP).
PTTP offers financial support for unique and flexible training with a chosen mentor in any theatrical discipline (except performance.) You can apply for professional development in your own discipline, or a "change of direction" in a career.
During the previous application round, we introduced a few key enhancements to the program guidelines:
- Theatre Ontario follows the Ontario Arts Council’s definition of a professional artist, as someone who “has developed skills through training or practice, is recognized by artists working in the same artistic tradition, has a history of public presentation or publication, seeks payment for her or his work, and actively practices his or her art.” This means that applicants no longer need to wait two years after graduating from a post-secondary or other training institution before applying for a PTTP grant, but should refer to this definition when gauging eligibility.
- Training programs must be completed within twelve months of the grant being awarded.
Please contact Rebecca Ballarin, Professional Theatre and Education Manager with any questions, especially if you are a first time applicant.
This program is funded by the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario.
