34th SUMMERWORKS PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL 2024
In response to the current zeitgeist, the 2024 SummerWorks Performance Festival presents 11 days of bold creative expressions from a diversity of perspectives and lived experiences, that engage with the idea of survival, in both subtle and blunt ways, with nuanced complexity.
With over 40+ events and activities, all curated and designed around the idea of gathering together in public space, this year’s Festival offers you a moment to pause and reflect, to dive into the energy and chaos, and to witness dynamic live performances by independent artists from across Canada, and around the world.
SummerWorks Performance Festival (August 1-11, 2024) offers four distinct streams of programming:
SummerWorks Presentations
Fully-developed new works and touring productions, offering a snapshot of the future of contemporary performance.
SummerWorks Lab
A place for exploration, experimentation, and process, with diverse performance works shared at crucial stages of creative development, forging connections between artists and audiences.
SummerWorks Public Works
Free performances and artworks that aim to bring artists and audiences together to experience public space in new ways.
SummerWorks Exchange
A dynamic space for emergent creative thinking to come into focus and conversation, gathering artists and audiences together with intention around relevant and urgent creative proposals and artistic practices.
