Making Way is a series of performative workshops and outreach activities, intended to support and build the capacity of the performative arts community in Calgary and Southern Alberta. The Workshops developed for this initiative align with pedagogical methodologies by contemporary practitioners.
Leading up to our 2012 Festival, this series is intended to strengthen the capacity and critical discourse of the local / regional performative arts community, and to foster relationships with local, national and international networks. This series will allow new audiences to develop and foster an expansive understanding of performative practice.
