IMPACT 23 Conference Pass

Event Details

Event type: All Ages

IMPACT (International Multicultural Platform for Alternative Contemporary Theatre) is a biennial celebration organized by MT Space in Ontario’s Waterloo Region. IMPACT presents some of the finest local, national, and international work by Indigenous, Black, and Racialized artists, with special emphasis on interdisciplinary, intercultural, and physical productions.

Join us as we engage, play, and rejuvenate with hundreds of artists and thousands of guests from across the country and beyond!

DAY 1, Sept 28, 10a-4p: Recovery - In conversation with Theatre Direct’s Balancing Act, MT Space shares how we faced crises and interrogates this need for being “resilient” with colleagues and friends from the theatre sector.

DAY 2, Sept 29, 10a-4p: Embodiment - MT Space presents a demonstration of the intercultural theatre creation methodology established by Majdi Bou-Matar, and engages others in the conversations around devised processes, ancestry, and culture clash.

DAY 3, Sept 30, 10a-4p: Succession - Bringing together those who succeeded the founders of organizations, we engage in a discussion around what it means to honour those who came before us while moving towards a future that calls for change.

The IMPACT 23 Festival Pass does not include the Neruda Arts Closing Party, which will be sold by Neruda Arts.

Some events may sell out, so we encourage passholders to select the performances they'd like to see in advance of the festival to guarantee access - an MT Space staff member will reach out to you to confirm your ticket selection. We will also be reaching out to passholders with a recommended "passholder pathway", which will allow you to see the most shows possible.

There is no fee for Indigenous Peoples to attend – reach out to tickets@mtspace.ca for details and to reserve tickets.
