A Canadian leading not-for-profit contemporary theatre company Canadian Stage announced programming details for the Festival of Ideas and Creation - the company's annual festival, supporting the development of artists and new works, taking place at the Berkeley Street Theatre in Toronto from May 9 to 21, 2011. The Festival will include over 30 exciting free events that explore the future of theatre with award-winning artists including Civilitas Foundation honorary board member Atom Egoyan.
Audiences and creators are invited to participate in the free talkback series called In Conversation where artistic leaders Matthew Jocelyn and film and stage director Atom Egoyan will discuss their upcoming collaboration Cruel and Tender, (part of the 2011 - 2012 Canadian Stage season) as well as other speakers who will focus on techniques that fuse theatre with dance, African music, opera, hip-hop, visual art, as well as non-theatrical fields like architecture and research and non-fiction texts.
Artist Intensives are available for industry workers to learn from world-class leaders such as Atom Egoyan, renowned opera director Robert Carsen, Second City improv expert Chris Earle, music-infused creators Patrice Naiambana and Surahata Susso and groundbreaking hip-hop artist and playwright Will Power.
The Festival of Ideas and Creation aims to encourage discussion and exchange between local, national, and international artists, both emerging and established, to inspire new projects that will push theatre into exciting and unexplored directions. It was designed to bring audiences and creators together to explore the process of creation, reflect on current trends, and look toward the future.
