multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at improving equity in the Canadian theatre
industry, given the underrepresentation of women in key creative positions. Officially launching in September 2014, the
EIT project will help redress and remedy existent gender inequities in the
theatre sector via an inclusive response involving the community as a whole:
artists, stakeholders, audiences, and administrators. The project’s objectives
are to foster and facilitate dialogue (locally, provincially, nationally, and
internationally), generate greater awareness of and exposure to Canadian women
practitioners, and develop community-based action plans to help rectify
industry imbalances. The initiative involves four distinct components, the
first of which is a preparatory research study for which a professional
researcher is sought here. <o:p></o:p></font></span></p><font face="Times New Roman">
