NOUS SOUTENONS LES AIDANTS DANS LES ARTS DE LA SCÈNE
L’objectif de Balancing Act est de favoriser l’égalité, l’accessibilité et l’inclusion pour les parents et les soignants※ qui travaillent dans le domaine des arts de la scène. Nous collaborons avec des artistes, des travailleurs des arts et des organisations artistiques pour créer des voies de changement au niveau individuel, organisationnel et systémique.
Balancing Act est une initiative de Theatre Direct.
※ La définition de Balancing Act de soignant comprend les personnes qui s’occupent d’enfants, les personnes âgées, les personnes qui ont besoin de soins personnels et toute personne qui s’identifie comme soignant.

What BA has been up to: We spent last week in Vancouver!
Thank you to those who joined Balancing Act and Neworld Theatre at Progress Lab in Vancouver on Monday, March 6 for Creating a Framework of Care: Successes and Tensions.
It was a great conversation with Alen Dominquez, Managing Director of Neworld Theatre and Hannah Meyers, General Manager of Tara Cheyenne Performance about creating contracts and agreements that centre care.
A great big thank you to our host Neworld Theatre, and to our community partner PACT for co-presenting! Thank you to those who attended and contributed to the discussion.
Neworld Theatre and Tara Cheyenne Performance are Balancing Act Level UP! Partners.
