Community Update

November 23, 2021

With a new season, a return to live performance, and a lot going on behind the scenes, Prairie Theatre Exchange is very happy to be sharing a community update for November 2021.

PTE TRAINING HUB

We continued the PTE Training Hub this season with 11 workshops over 3 weeks. To remove barriers to access, all workshops were offered free of charge. Over 120 artists attended sessions with workshop leaders from Winnipeg, across Canada, and New York City. We offered early registration to IPBOC, 2SLGBTQ+ and Disabled artists.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

November 2021. So much of this moment in time, nationally, is about re-opening. It is also time to continue our listening, growth, and action in the work of anti-racism, anti-oppression, and accessibility. A part of this, too, is considering what it means to be ethically producing theatre amidst the climate crisis. We continue to re-imagine, every day, who we are as a company and what we can be. To practice questioning, daily. What is the theatre we make? Who makes it? How do we make it? For whom do we make it? Each day we commit ourselves to supporting artists and engaging audiences in ways that are relevant, meaningful, and sustainable. We are invigorated by this work, and we embrace our responsibilities as a not-for-profit performing arts organization in and through this time. And we look hopefully forward to what comes next.
