Initiatives

Successorship, Leadership, and Mentorship “During this global crisis we need to do everything we can to centre artists to create, develop, innovate, and explore what it means to be existing in these times. We need artists to make sense of what we are going through. Though we are in a time where we are not able to share and convene around live performance, I am hopeful that through relationships, resources and support, artists will create evocative, brave and bold works that will be a reflection of what we are experiencing together.” – Sherry J Yoon, Artistic Director

We stand together with a unified voice against the anti-Asian sentiment we have all been experiencing in our communities. As a group, we stand behind a message, a National campaign, first of its kind, which signifies that the attacks we are seeing and experiencing are not ok.

The 3.7% Initiative was created by Boca del Lupo for the express purpose of helping women who self-identify as ethnically and culturally diverse, of Indigenous, or of mixed-racial heritage find greater success in their performing arts practice. Named for the low percentage of key creative roles in Canadian theatre held by ethnically and culturally diverse women, this initiative supports women who have a strong desire to change that statistic by taking their performing arts career into their own hands.
