The New Young Reviewers program, is a FREE workshop series and writing group for 10 emerging theatre and performance reviewers ages 15 and up.
Applications close Wednesday May 14th at 11:59 pm.
In partnership with Intermission Magazine and led by Signy Lynch (Contemporary Theatre Review, Canadian Theatre Review, Intermission Magazine) and Stephanie Fung (Kingston Theatre Alliance, Canadian Theatre Review, Single Thread Theatre), this program will focus on introducing participants to the basics of theatre reviewing and help them develop responses to Toronto Fringe performances. It will also encourage participants to explore new, creative approaches to criticism that are emerging in the field, and to begin to define themselves as critics and reviewers.
This year, the New Young Reviewer program will include:
– 3 weekly weekend workshops on theatre and performance criticism prior to the start of the Toronto Fringe Festival, starting mid-June.
– 3 in-person check-in sessions throughout the Toronto Fringe Festival (July 2-13).
– Media passes for eligible shows in the Toronto Fringe Festival.
– Support for participants to publish 2 performance review articles covering the Toronto Fringe Festival productions which will be published via our media partners Intermission Magazine as well as the Toronto Fringe’s platforms.
– The opportunity to attend networking events throughout the course of the Toronto Fringe Festival
New Young Reviewers has space for up 10 participants and we are offering a $150 honorarium for all participants accepted into the program.
