In with the new! Registration is now open for our three seminars for Indigenous youth, emerging artists and critics under 35. FTA is calling on young creators from here and abroad to apply now to take part in the Festival next spring.
New this year: The English seminar Conversations on Performance is now open to applicants from outside Canada!
In these stimulating experiences, participants will expand their ideas about contemporary theatre and dance, confront their artistic realities and critical thinking, and share their expertise with their peers. They will attend multiple shows presented during FTA and benefit from workshops and conversations with the Festival’s artists and the wider arts community. Find out more on all three seminars on our Outreach page.
