SummerWorks: Your Guide to Choosing the Right Show For You
Summer festivals can be a bit overwhelming: how are you supposed to decide what to see?!
To make it a little easier, we’ve recommended three shows we’re excited to see, and accomplished festival-goer Derrick Chua has recommended twelve of his own. Here’s another strategy to help you choose what to see: we’ve gone through the shows and highlighted some of the topics and themes that might be interesting to you. Happy SummerWorks!
Autobiographical
Shows that reflect the real-life experiences of their creators.
Immersive
Theatre experience at a pool, in a green house, over the phone, on an app, and more.
Out-of-Town Artists
Work by artists from other cities.
Hot-Button Issues
Shows you’ll want to talk about after you leave the theatre, covering topics like gender, the environment, BDSM, and Indigenous identities.
Strong Female Voices
Theatre, dance, and interdisciplinary shows created, produced, or performed by women.
Connecting Across Divides
Performances and events that reach across aisles to bring people together.
How Do We Document Non-Traditional Theatre?
As we move into a world where more and more non-traditional and immersive theatre is being created, it’s important to ask: how are the creators of these stories documenting them so that other artists can benefit?
