Early December saw the end of the 2015 Training Internship in Theatre /Stage en Formation Continue program, a French-language theatre training program offered in partnership between the Association des théâtres francophones du Canada (ATFC), The National Theatre School of Canada (NTS), and The Banff Centre.
Since 2011, French-language theatre practitioners from across the country gather at the Banff Centre for three intensive weeks to train with faculty from NTS, collaborate, and build connections within their community.
I took the opportunity to check in with these artists at the end of their program to see what they thought of their experience. Here are their collective "
5 Great Moments in Banff":
- The creative force in which we are submerged in for three wonderful weeks.
- The multitude of artists we meet and the privilege we have in sharing our work...a unique situation.
- The exhilarating and inspiring view that compels us to work harder and harder.
- The wonderful and creative meetings, all bunched up in a musician's hut...moments of pure artistic pleasure.
- The warmth and heart filled collaboration of the Banff Centre staff, eager and available in answering our incessant needs.
