Organizer Buddies Queer Youth and Emerging Artist Program
Organizer of Guest Artist Workshops - Scene Study
Buddies’ Queer Youth and Emerging Artist Programs offer space for artistic risk where youth and emerging artists can grow and develop through theatre, performance, and the creative process. We work inclusively with gender and sexually diverse youth (including queer, trans, 2-Spirit, gender non-binary, and QTBIPOC) to support the development of early-in-craft artistic voices. We offer access to our productions and professional theatre artists to nurture the next generation of artists, audiences, and community.
Youth programming is designed to engage young people who have an interest in theatre, performance, the creative process, and may have no prior theatre experience, age 30 and under.
Emerging Artist programming is designed to engage early-in-craft artists who are pursuing a career in professional theatre, may or may not have completed post-secondary theatre training, and have no more than three years of professional experience in the field, age 30 and under.
Please note: at Buddies we recognize that people come into their gender and sexual identities at many different times in their lives; thus these definitions are intended as flexible rather than restrictive guidelines.
