For our second episode of Backstage Chatter, we are revisiting a panel discussion that originally aired in May 2021. Moving Forward is a panel of recent graduates from five Anglophone Quebec theatre institutions to reflect on what works, what needs to change, and how to move forward.
Over the past few years, we have discovered more about the harsh reality of what many theatre students have experienced behind closed doors. As artistic practices evolve to encourage representation and space for creativity to thrive, are educational institutions also evolving to meet the needs of this fast-paced industry? In a business where techniques are constantly evolving, why do acting institutions continue to hold on to outdated theatrical traditions?
Our guest host is Gabriela Saltiel, co-founder of Acting in Good Company and the Segal Centre's Project Manager, Operations, and Assistant to the General Manager. Our moderators are Kayleigh Choiniere and Mara Lazaris, two more co-founders of Acting in Good Company.
