The Creation Program is Back
The AMY Theatre Creation Program is our flagship activity. This year, we are offering a nine-week performance creation program for women and non-binary youth between 16 and 25 years of age. The program has two components. First, each participant is paired with a professional artist mentor. Second, the group of participants works collectively with a team of professional directors and other guest artists to create and devise their own performances pieces that are presented as a workshop.
It’s a chance to work with some of Toronto’s most exciting artists and create & perform your own work! The program offers many exciting elements:
- One-one mentorship from a top Toronto artist
- Theatre creation workshops
- Work with a team of directors and other AMY participants to devise original creative performance pieces
- Nourishing group meals at every rehearsal
- Free TTC transportation to and from every rehearsal
- Perform at Theatre Passe Muraille!
- Access to additional opportunities
- Make new friends and join a fun, supportive, creative community!
