Inclusion Statement
Park ‘N Play 2022
In the spirit of a shared commitment to change, Infinithéâtre continually encourages submissions from applicants from all walks of life, including for our two annual playwriting competitions.
To make space for under-represented artists, in 2021, we created our Artist-in-Residence Program for Established and Emerging Artists. While the residencies are reserved for innovative and risk-taking artists, we also choose to prioritize artistic voices that are under-represented. Also inaugurated in 2021, our Big Bang Artists’ Laboratory is designed to make space for artists who think outside the box. Art and social activism often go hand-in-hand. At Infinithéâtre, we are committed to theatre-making that has a positive and progressive impact on the communities in which we live and work.
Park ‘N Play 2022
Across all our activities, Infinithéâtre seeks to foster a safe space for creating art through collaboration and respectful dialogue. We strive to promote values of inclusion, respecting differences of ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, mental or physical capacity, age, religion, economic or social status, political ideology, and identity. The work is ongoing, and we are committed to hearing and learning from our colleagues and the wider community.
Infinithéâtre actively reflects upon the ways in which we can continually be more inclusive in our play selection and programming, in our work opportunities for artists, and within our administrative team and Board. We have made progress, but there is much more we can and should do.
