Artist Development is a huge part of what we do and what we champion. Whether through our various creation units, our outreach programs, our script development residencies, or our current and upcoming mentorship initiatives, we're inspired to help talented and curious people step into their bravest, most authentic artist selves and to turn up the volume on their creative voices. So as you can imagine, at Cahoots there are always exciting works-in-progress on the stovetop!
ACTING CLASSES COME TO CAHOOTS! We are excited to mark the return of Come PLAY With Me, taught by our artistic director. CPWM is the Scene Study and acting course that Tanisha created and led independently in 2018/19. Newly re-conceived, the class —predominantly spotlighting the work of playwrights of colour — is now a 10-session Cahoots offering. Inspired by Tanisha’s Contemporary Canadian and American Scene Study classes at George Brown Theatre School, Come PLAY With Me will combine fascinating discussions about the artistic merits and sociopolitical relevance of some of today’s most compelling works with thoughtful, nuanced acting instruction aimed at the crafting, refining and deepening of stirring dramatic and comedic performances.
Course Fee: $295
10 weeks, 3.5 hours each

We tell the stories that pulsate in the shadows.
We hand the mic to those who have gone unheard.
We turn up the volume and refocus the spotlight.
