Some of the ideas that informed APT came out of
the Open Source Brainstorm held in the
Incubator of The Theatre Centre in January 2015. |
The goal of the APT program is to train a new generation of artist/producers of independent theatre. Successful applicants will receive comprehensive, innovative, hands-on training with top industry professionals as they create and implement strategies and projects.
Graduates will have the skills to sustain a career in the arts. Some may become ‘guns-for-hire’, working on a contract-by-contract basis on the one-off shows that drive indie performance, while others may bring these new skills to creating and producing their own work. All will learn entrepreneurial and innovation-based strategies that include adequately compensating artists and producers.
The APT program is an investment in improving the independent theatre ecology.
Therefore each participant will receive $1000 for successful completion of this FREE training program.
This one-year program will consist of three semesters of practical training, followed by a mentored practicum component in the fourth and final semester. All training will take place at the STAF and Theatre Ontario offices in Toronto. The part-time schedule will be announced shortly.
Deadline to apply is July 13th.
