Join Us at "Emergence" from our Youth Advisory Committee

Are you or someone you know an artist aged 16 – 30 currently pursuing a career in theatre?

Then clear your schedule for Sunday, September 24th and join the Youth Advisory Committee for Emergence: a theatre training day for youth, by youth.

We’re taking over the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre in Toronto to bring together a network of young creators to collaborate on their craft and share knowledge. With a focus on emerging artists taking the next steps in their career, Emergence is a collection of forward-thinking workshops, discussions, and shared spaces to meet with fellow artists. There will be opportunities for theatre-makers of all levels of experience to learn and share their knowledge.

The day will include:

Speed Ideating 

Career-planning
  • Training options
  • Artists’ career paths
  • Producing your own work
  • Practice your elevator pitch
Practical seminars
  • Technical and design skills
  • Directing-performing lab
  • Playwrighting
Open Space discussions

Prices for attendance are:
If you cannot afford the ticket price, please contact youth@theatreontario.org to join us as a volunteer or ambassador in exchange for free entry.

Our 2017 goal is to empower youth as active decision makers in their own careers. We want to bring together as many young artists from different disciplines and backgrounds to share their voice about the future of theatre in Ontario. In this spirit, all our mentors are young artists or companies serving young artists. If you have a question about how you can be a mentor or support Emergence, please do not hesitate to reach out to youth@theatreontario.org.
