<span style="color: black;">Developed and led by cultural critic Jose Solís, the Critics Lab is an educational space for IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour) who would like to develop their theatre criticism skills. The program is open to Canadian
residents who have not yet written theatre criticism and to those who already have some experience in the field.</span></p>
<p class="x_has-medium-font-size" style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:7.5pt; margin-left:0cm; box-sizing:border-box; font-variant-caps:normal; orphans:auto; text-align:start; widows:auto; word-spacing:0px">
<span style="color: black;">Following tenets of dialogue, compassion, and nurturing one’s unique voice, Lab participants will contribute to the creation of a custom program that fits their specific needs and encourages them to pursue the path of criticism that
best serves them.</span></p>

<span style="color: black;">The Lab begins in early June 2023 with a series of Zoom sessions and includes a residential session in early July at the Stratford Festival. Each participant will receive a $500 honorarium for their participation; and travel, accommodation,
food, and theatre ticket expenses for the residential portion will be covered by the Lab.
