Performance Creation Canada (PCC) is a nationwide network dedicated to the nourishment, management and study of performance creation in Canada, and the ecology in which it flourishes. PCC gatherings are aimed at creating a discussion between artists in dance, theatre, music, film, and visual arts who are interested in the well being of Canadian performance creation.
Held twice each year in different Canadian cities and focusing on themes developed by the local steering committee, PCC gatherings are designed to bring theatre creators together to discuss their work and common issues facing the various artistic disciplines, to be exposed to new ideas and methodologies in theatre creation, and to make personal connections with artistic and academic peers from across the country.
The Edmonton Steering Commitee is: Kim McCaw and Ian Leung (The Canadian Centre for Theatre Creation), Keltie Brown and Michael Clark (Workshop West Theatre), Todd Janes (Latitude 53 Gallery), Daniel Cournoyer (L'Unitheatre), Scott Smallwood (U of A Music Deptartment), Gerry Morita (Mile Zero Dance), Annie Dugan (Firefly Theatre and Circus).
