ARTISTIC VISION
The Magnetic North Theatre Festival is dedicated to presenting the very best of Canada’s touring theatre and providing a sufficient showcase for that work to launch into the world. This means that the festival seeks to present audiences with a snapshot of current artistic practice, one that celebrates the maturity and diversity of Canadian theatre. The festival is especially interested in presenting the work of companies who have evolved an aesthetic or working style that distinguishes them and moves the art form forward.
Essential to its mandate are the twin goals of strengthening and encouraging the promotion of Canadian theatre within Canada and promoting Canadian theatre to international markets; both of these goals seek to provide new economic opportunity for theatre professionals. Providing the work with a springboard to the wider community, means that the festival focuses a major part of its efforts on attracting presenters and producers from across Canada and around the world so that the work presented in the festival can build national and international tours as a result of its efforts.
