A Message from the Artistic + Executive Directors

It is difficult to write an introduction to an annual report that reflects on 2020. This was not the year we had planned. Nor the one we had hoped for, or dreamed of.

We sprang into January with confidence and energy. Our first season, lovingly curated during our first year at Soulpepper, was about to begin, and our Strategic Plan, committing the company to a bold new policy of Radical Inclusion, had been enthusiastically endorsed The season was cancelled, and our hearts broke as artist by our board the preceding November. after artist lost work on projects that we were unable to deliver. Our education programs were suspended, It couldn’t have started better. Mother’s Daughter our staff pivoted to working from home, and our sector and Jesus Hopped the A Train filled our theatres with entered a phase of profound, existential uncertainty. an audience who were not only inspired to see great art, but keen to dig deeper, joining our new series of But, somewhere amidst the fire-fighting, something beau- Community Conversations with passion and involve- tiful began to emerge.

It was not the year we wished for, but we emerge with strength and resolve, confident of a bright future.

Message from the Chair of the Board

We started 2020 with great anticipation for what we felt was a very exciting season, the first full season programmed by Weyni. The two shows that opened the season had successful, well received runs and our third show was about to hit the stage when the pandemic hit and everything changed.

But our fantastic staff, led by our terrific senior man- agement team, showed their creativity, made sacrifices and adapted to the ‘new reality’. On behalf of the Board I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire team.

While there is no question that the pandemic-induced lockdowns and ever-changing rules have been extremely hard on artists and arts workers, moving all program- ming online has made it more accessible for many people, with geography, and in many cases, price, no longer a barrier, thus allowing the company a broader reach. We developed a Board policy on Equity, Diversity, In addition, we were able to respond more quickly Inclusion and Anti-Racism which was formally endorsed as long-simmering social injustices came to the fore early in 2021. It is based on the values and foundational during the year. documents that guide the company’s strategies, actions and artistic representations including the Strategic Plan, Statement of Promises and Code of Conduct. It is designed to strengthen the Board’s capacity to carry out its responsibilities and advance the company’s vision, and ensure the Board holds itself, and its committees, accountable.

While we yearn for the time when we can all gather together in the theatre, we continue to seek ways to tell stories that reflect the cultural make-up of our city while reaching well beyond our borders.

Education: “As an emerging theatre- Youth Programming + Community maker, this program was Engagement an invaluable experience. It has given me incredible tools and training that I will be using throughout my career. I can imagine the impact on the theatre world of having a new generation of artists go through this program, and ones like it, and it is a glorious vision.” – Youth Participant EDUCATION 16

Youth Programming + Community Engagement

Soulpepper’s youth and community engagement activi- ties moved to virtual offerings in 2020 allowing us to continue year-round barrier-free programming. In 2020 Soulpepper offered theCurtain Up Program (Spring and Fall sessions), The Queer Youth Cabaret, and the Summer Youth Intensive Programs (Solo Show and Collective Creation). We engaged with community organizations through our access program, providing resources for organizations to support their work digitally.

2020 was the first year of theQueer Youth Cabaret, which featured eight incredible 2SLGBTQIA+ artists and performers aged 14-30. The virtual cabaret explored how young artists define queer spaces. The program included mentorship opportunities, directing and tech- nical assistance in filming their pieces at home, com- pensation, and a platform for queer and trans emerging artists. The program was listed on NOW Toronto’s “10 essential Toronto Pride parties and events for 2020” “I just finished watching the show and IT WAS SO and on CBC’s “Your 10 best bets for Online Events WONDERFUL!!! Every bit of it was so thoughtful (week of June 22)”. The event was viewed by 422 people and full of care.

The Summer Youth Online Intensives were a set of two virtual performance-based programs that took place in the summer of 2020. Both programs gave youth an opportunity to stay creative, connect with theatre professionals, provided access to all communities across Canada, and provided workshops in using online mediums effectively in theatrical creation. The groups met 4 days a week, for two weeks in workshops and then were given assignments to complete in their own time. Participants in the Solo Show Creation learned to deepen their storytelling through character work, mask creation, writing exercises and performance. In the Collective Creation program, the group worked on ensem- ble, mindfulness, movement, writing and performance.
