Canadian Works Abroad

Our Success is  Measured in the Success of Others

Over the last five years, Bouche Theatre Collective and  I have worked hard to introduce new Canadian works to artists and organisations across Canada and Abroad.

We do this by sharing texts for potential translation, introducing and connecting artists, providing insights on translation, and supporting English language applications and documentation.

The 8th new Canadian work to reach presentation in a new language directly as a result of this volunteer outreach, I am thrilled to share Nathalie Boisvert’s Facelift, translated to Italian by Carolina Migli and Piacenza Kultur Dom will be presented at Satiri Di Storie Festival (IT).
