International artists are a vital feature of the Banff Playwrights Lab, deepening the conversation about performance and extending the networking opportunities that are an important part of the Banff Centre experience. This year Canadian playwrights will be joined by eight international guest artists from Australia, Mexico, the U.K. and the United States. We’re pleased to announce these powerful artists in this newsletter.
Many thanks to our organizational partners – Melbourne Theatre Company, Tasmania Performs, Royal Exchange Theatre, Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting and the National New Play Network – for collaborating with the Lab to make these residencies possible.
Adjudication for the 2020 Lab and its focus on multi-lingual projects has introduced us to exciting artists and projects from all over Canada, working across a multitude of languages. Thank you to all applicants for sharing your work with us. Look for the announcement of this year’s Canadian playwright participants in February.
Wishing you a creative year ahead!
