Dates: Friday Nov 15 evening - Sunday Nov 17 afternoon, 2019
The AMY Project is thrilled to present a special training initiative for artists-facilitators working in community-engaged arts, and theatre directors working in intercultural and collaborative contexts. This is a unique opportunity in Canada, and a chance to be at the forefront of new training models for the arts that increase artists’ capacity to lead group-based community arts work in ways that are emergent, supportive of diversity and healthy conflict, and conducive to safe risk-taking.
Presented in partnership with Training for Change , and with support from Why Not Theatre & Canadian Roots Exchange
The Artist Facilitator Training is an adapted version of Training for Change’s flagship workshop, “Training for Social Action Trainers”.
