    A Welcome Welcome to the 20th annual SummerWorks Theatre Festival. Toronto’s Indie Theatre and Arts Festival. Over the past three years, SummerWorks has evolved from an indie-theatre festival to an indie-arts festival. I believe that it’s important to continue to explore the necessity and relevance of the theatrical form: how can it contribute, reflect and parallel the world we’re living in? I became interested in what happens to the form when directly paralleled with other forms. Call it a social experi- ment, if you will – a laboratory on relevance and learning. Where do our forms intersect, and how can we use this to our advantage? We’ve been really excited by the results of this evolution, and this year’s Festival continues to build on these principles. Our Theatre line-up is very exciting. The work is strong, diverse, and brave. We also welcome four very impressive shows from outside Ontario in our National Series. See them all if you can. You won’t be disappointed. What are the ingredients that enable certain musicians to fill rooms and create that rare, emotional electricity? There are some obvious answers like: alcohol and rowdy behaviour – but there are also layers to this question that are connected to the visceral nature of the form. This year’s Music Series is the best yet. I hope you’ll take it in. The new Performance Bar brings three different art forms together on the same stage nightly over the course of the Festival. The glue? The National Theatre of the World.

WE GIVE A SH*T While we were putting this issue together, a theme started to surface. On the cover, we have the Trans Day of Remembrance, which includes many calls for a unified community to help protect and expand rights for trans people. We’re also writing about a new ethical clothing line, changes in language to become more inclusive and a bike-building marathon that will create rides for many kids this holiday season. The common thread in all of these pieces is community – people coming together for a larger cause. Whether it’s to help those in their immediate circle, or those halfway across the world, many Winnipeggers are doing their part to make a difference in this world. Caring isn’t always easy or pretty. It may involve getting covered in grease (for a bike marathon) or bearing witness to unfathomable tragedy (at a vigil for murdered trans people). The call to make a difference often comes with some discomfort or personal sacrifice, to rethink our place in the world and relationship to others. As rhetorics of hate become more and more visible – and more and more normalized – in the media and in the international political sphere, these small stories of caring are vital reminders of the change we can make.
