About the program
Based on our past work with Barbara Kaneratonni Diabo, Lee Bolton, and La danse sur les routes du Québec, Ontario Presents has developed a new, free program to support IBPOC dance and theatre artists who are seeking to tour their work within Ontario and across Canada. Participating artists are invited to participate in a peer learning community led by two mentors, Aria Evans and Nova Bhattacharya, in order to develop skills around touring and presentation, culminating in an opportunity to meet directly with Ontario-based regional presenters/programmers.
The artist cohort for spring 2022 was selected independently by our artist mentors, based on participant applications. The participants are:
- Nada Abusaleh
- Mushtari Afroz
- Norma Araiza
- Olga Barrios
- Sofi Gudino
- Krystal Kavita Jagoo
- Mayumi Lashbrook
- Raechele Lovell
- Kate Kamo McHugh
- Andrea Nann
- Stacy-Ann Vassell
- Purawai Vyas
