Performance

Performance is crucial to our creation process…

Our goal is to ensure that the projects we commission and develop reach the stage only when they are ready. We refine our works-in-progress through extensive public performances during the dramaturgical process. We use these presentations to invite feedback from artists and audiences and to promote our projects locally and nationally.

Nightswimming does not self-produce our works in Toronto; instead, we direct all of our time, effort and resources to the creation process. As we do so we build the creative team for each project and provide dramaturgical support through to each premiere production. All of our projects premiere via collaborative partnerships with producers, presenters and festivals, often in other cities across Canada, as we seek out the ideal environment for each commissioned artist and their project.

Please explore our current and completed projects including an outline of the dramaturgical process designed for each piece and the invaluable partners who continue to support our work.…
