 Organization Description:
Equity in Theatre


Equity in Theatre (EIT) is a
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. 


 


Job Description: EIT
Project Researcher


We are looking for a person with previous
research experience who is well-versed in the Canadian theatre ecology, the
status of women in theatre, and diverse (often marginalized) communities in the
performing arts. The researcher will work independently, and remotely (computer
and internet access required) to develop a set of recommendations that will
serve as a foundational framework for EIT. 


 


The Researcher’s duties will include:


·        
Researching
past projects for improving equity in theatre at home & abroad;


·        
Identifying
and studying equity initiatives in other industries & disciplines;


·        
Most
specifically, investigating the follow-up activities that ensued with previous equity
projects to analyze their successes and failures;


·        
Synthesizing
the information collected in a series of mini-reports;


·        
Writing
a final cumulative report with “best practices” recommendations that will be
disseminated to the project participants and the public at large;


·        
Meeting
deadlines and checking in with EIT organizers at regular intervals.
