Professional Development


Ontario Contact provides a variety of ways to increase your knowledge of changes, challenges and ways to success in the performing arts sector.

Part A - Workshop: February 6, 2012 from 7 to 10 pm

You will learn what is required to apply for showcasing, such as what materials to include; how to prepare them; when do you need an agent and how to find the appropriate one;  the essential marketing materials; and, what is expected of you at a showcase event.

      Registration Fee: $50 Part A Registration

Part B - Mock Showcase: February 7 & 8, 2012

A participatory exercise that provides the artist through a 15 minute mock showcase opportunity, immediately after which you will meet with experts who will provide advice on how to improve your showcase including dealing with technical challenges of minimal setup and sound tech opportunities. You will also have the opportunity to participate as an audience member and watch the showcase. The juries' critique on the mock showcase is open only to the artists directly involved.

NOTE: Part B is not an audition for Ontario Contact showcasing. It is intended to help interested artists prepare for future showcasing opportunities in general.

     Registration Fee: $250  Please contact The Registry Theatre directly at info@registrytheatre.com or 519.745.6565 to secure a showcase time.

SAVE and register for both for only $225.

Even better - Part B attendees will be given a free delegate's pass to attend Ontario Contact in Kitchener October 25 to 27, 2012. Value $415 based on 2011 fees. This is your chance to see a showcase event from the inside as well as to be matched with a mentor.

There are limited spots available for Part B so we suggest you register early.
