Theatre Terrific: Pushing the Boundaries of Inclusive Theatre
June 23 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm PT
Join us on June 23rd from 12-1 pm for a lively and heartfelt presentation about Theatre Terrific, Vancouver’s longest-standing inclusive theatre company. They are dedicated to creating original work by, for, and with artists of all abilities. They will share who they are, what they offer, and how they are growing and pushing the boundaries of inclusive theatre practice. Through personal stories and reflections, this presentation will explore the power of play in both artistic creation and community building. The presentation will also feature a short five-minute mini-documentary from their most recent Fringe Festival production.
Laen Hershler is the Artistic Director of Theatre Terrific, Vancouver’s longest-standing inclusive theatre company, which creates original work by, for, and with artists of all abilities. Laen is also an applied theatre educator, director, and PhD candidate at UBC, with a focus on performance as a tool for social connection and inquiry.
Please note that this session will be closed 10 minutes after the start time to prevent disruption. Please be on time, or you can watch the recording on YouTube or Facebook afterwards.
