It’s a time to renew old friendships and perhaps find new love. But what happens when an incident shatters the connections between three friends? Teenage relationships are complicated enough – especially when you add the reckless power of social media. This smart and intense play delves bravely into the nature of sexual consent. \nThe forum is intended for adult stakeholders in both the education and artistic communities – parents\, educators\, college and university students\, administrators\, artists and arts workers – interested in taking part in this discussion. \nPrior to the forum\, young people engaged in YPT’s Education & Participation programs generated a number of discussion points around the issues of consent. These will be the platform for the dialogue at this forum and the launch pad for discussions with subject experts in the field. Participants will learn strategies for leading conversations about consent with young people both in school and community settings.

The second training intensive offered by YPT\, this project consists of a nine-day summer program (August 26-September 4\, 2017) co-taught by Jan Henderson\, one of Canada’s leading clown and mask teachers\, and actor\, director\, and educator\, Aaron Willis. \nThe training will focus on the imperative presence of theatre. Applying tenets of spontaneous\, improvisational theatre and clown\, the work of ‘being live’ or ‘in the moment’ on stage will be explored through Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. \nThrough In the Moment\, we aim to meet the needs of both artists in training and those who have been working in theatre for many years\, but who share an interest in ongoing learning. Intergenerational programming has proven benefits and\, for the purposes of this training\, affords its participants the opportunity to learn from one another’s unique strengths and experiences in both training and professional work. \nSpace is limited. We will accept an equal number of training and professional artists. \nApplicants must either be: \n\nIn professional actor training at one of Canada’s theatre schools;\nParticipating in an actor training program offered through an arts organization;\nOR working as a professional actor and have an interest in ongoing training.\n\nApplicants must be available for all training dates.\n(Sessions will run from 9:30AM-5:30PM each day.) \nApplicants should submit: \n\nA video of themselves performing two monologues. One must be from an absurdist play. The other is the actor’s choice. The video must not exceed four minutes. The video can be a DVD submission or a YouTube link.\nA brief letter (no more than 500 words) expressing their particular interest in this training opportunity.\nTwo reference letters from current instructors (if in training) or directors (if working).\n\nThis training program is free thanks to generous support from the Slaight Family Foundation. Some funding may also be available to offset some travel/accommodation costs. Applicants should indicate how they might benefit from financial assistance for travel/accommodation if required. \nApplication Deadline: May 19\, 2017 (mailed applications should be postmarked with this date). \nApplications may be emailed to ladamson@youngpeoplestheatre.org with the subject line “In the Moment” or mailed to the attention of: \nLois Adamson\, Interim Artistic Associate\, Education\nYoung People’s Theatre\n165 Front St. East Toronto\, ON M5A 3Z4 \nSuccessful candidates will be notified by June 23\, 2017.
