Five residencies, which will provide opportunities for artists, based in or who are, from Millbrook, Peterborough, Lakefield, Port Hope, Cobourg and the surrounding environs, to develop a new work.

The artists participating in the program will be Madeline Brown, Laurin Isiekwena, Simon Mazziotti, Madison Sheward and Kate Suhr.

The 2022 Interdisciplinary Residency Program will foster artistic development and engagement between 4th Line Theatre, local artists and community members in theatre, music theatre, dance and poetry.

“In our continuing effort to give regional artists opportunities to explore and create new work, we have developed these longer form residencies for just that purpose.”

Laurin Isiekwena will be creating new works of poetry. Madeleine Brown will be working on a piece of theatre about the student fight to keep Peterborough Collegiate from being permanently closed. Kate Suhr will be working in a play with music about the inherited family trauma of addiction. Madison Sheward and Simon Mazziotti will both be developing new choreographic works.

The residencies will begin in February 2022. They will feature a hybrid (digital and live) presentation in October 2022. The presentation will showcase a performance from each of the resident artists.
