RISING TIDES is a paid, multi-faceted skill development platform designed for IBPOC performing arts adminis and managers to build connections, awareness and virtual learning exchanges within the IBPOC performing arts community.
Led by PACT (Professional Association of Canadian Theatres), Native Earth Performing Arts, Obsidian Theatre, Urban Ink, Green Thumb Theatre, Pacific Theatre, and Nightwood Theatre, RISING TIDES pairs emerging administrators with established managers from September 2022 - September 2023. The program intends to fill a gap in the national performing arts sector towards development and training for emerging/developing IBPOC administrators and managers, specific to the needs of this community.
