You don’t have any theatre experience, but you’re curious about what it might feel like to write and perform your own work. Maybe you have some experience in theatre, but you’ve never really written anything before and you want to know how to start? Or are you someone with lots of ideas, who just needs the right space to work on one in particular?

If any of these describe you – and you identify with D/disability – consider this your invitation to apply for Glitch Theatre’s Arc Program.

What is Arc?

In a series of 8 weekend workshops led by award-winning writer/performer (and Glitch Theatre Co-Artistic Director) Adam Grant Warren, selected applicants will learn the fundamentals of writing: whether for theatre, spoken-word, even short stories or essays. More than just writing, these workshops will explore techniques for delivering work to an audience of listeners. From pacing, to rhythm, cadence, tone, and intention, Arc One participants will have all they need to lift their writing off the page and give it voice: to turn text into performance.

Arc One will culminate in a professionally staged evening at the Roundhouse Community Centre, where participants will have the opportunity to perform their work for a live audience. Following the performance the work will live on, recorded live for episodic release on podcast platforms and returning as part of an installation project for Arcs Two and Three over Glitch’s upcoming seasons.
