Theatre for Living is collaborating with Journeys Around the Circle Society on our next Mainstage production in 2017. šxʷʔamət (home) will explore what Reconciliation between non-indigenous and Indigenous people looks and feels like on the ground. We are recruiting indigenous AND non-Indigenous people - like yourself - to join us to create and perform this play. No acting experience is required. The only requirement is lived experiences in the struggle towards Reconciliation …all of our stories will have different perspectives.
Each workshop participant will be paid $600 for the workshop week.
Cast members will be paid $700 per week, from Jan 30 – March 11, 2017.
This is full time work, 8+ hours a day, 5 and sometimes 6 days a week.

To apply, email David Ng ([email protected]) , Theatre for Living’s Outreach Coordinator your application, contact information, and answers to the two questions below:
1) We want real diversity in the room, so tell us who you are, and anything else you want us to know about you!
2) What is your journey and story towards Reconciliation? What needs to be changed for us to have true reconciliation between Indigenous and non-indigenous people?
There is no right or wrong answer to these questions – we are looking for your own personal lived experiences to enrich the play making process…don’t worry, we aren’t putting your real stories on stage, the play that will be made will be a fiction, and whatever you send us is confidential.
