NIGHTWOOD THEATRE

Nightwood Theatre, a 31 year old national professional women's theatre company, has established a powerful reputation as a company that is fuelled by risk and innovation. We have launched careers, premiered new playwrights, tackled edgy subject matter and have broken ground in cultural representation on our stages. We have made a vast contribution to the Canadian canon of plays written by women. Whether we produce the work ourselves or shepherd it on, we have made a lasting impact, recognized on an international level as the company that developed the most produced play by a Canadian woman playwright in the world (Anne-Marie MacDonald’s Good Night Desdemona…). This makes Nightwood a strong force engaging unique and diverse women’s voices with the general public.

Stichting International Sports Alliance (ISA)

At ISA, we believe in the potential of the largest ever young generation. When young people have the motivation, the skills and the opportunities they will be able to make the change they want to see in their lives and in the places they live, study and work. Our programmes do exactly that. Why is this needed? Young people in the underserved communities we work, often lack safe spaces where they can team-up, there is a limited supply of positive activities to engage in, and there are few opportunities for young people to attain quality education or income opportunities. Together with community organisations, (youth) coaches and mentors, we're turning tables and by providing opportunities for young people to make a future for themselves and that of the entire community.
