Welcome to Equity in Theatre

Project SAT workshops at Monsoon Festival

Project SAT (South Asian Theatre) is happy to announce a series of workshops for Artists who self identify as South Asians and/or Artists of colour. To be offered as a part of the Monsoon Festival of Performing Arts (see info below), which is presented by South Asian Arts Society, these free community-based initiatives are excellent opportunities for artists of all skill levels ranging from amateur, emerging to established. The workshops are open to actors, storytellers, writers, directors and all members of the community. So in other words, you don't have to be a director to attend the directing workshop. Registration and acceptance into the program is required. See details below:

• Creation workshop with Anita Majumdar: at The Cultch – 11 am to 5pm on August 13
• Writing workshop with Anosh Irani at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Surrey Campus – 11am to 5pm on August 17
• Directing and Dramaturgy workshop with Rohit Chokhani and Jivesh Parasram from Toronto's Pandemic Theatre at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Surrey Campus – 11am to 5pm on August 18.

NOTE:  Anita's workshop will only accept 10 participants, while the other two workshops are not limited to any capacity.
 
Cost: FREE
 
Requirement: Please register here: monsoonartsfest.ca/industry-series. Workshops are free of charge, but the participants are encouraged to volunteer before and after the workshop or during the festival as a way to give back to this grassroots initiative.
