Canadian Stage 20/21

Canadian Stage’s mission is to be the leading contemporary performing arts organization in the country. A collision of disciplines and cultures, Canadian Stage reflects the dynamism and complexity of Canada and is a vital artistic force locally, nationally, and internationally.

For the 2020/21 season, we had the opportunity to develop the visuals that accompany each one of the 13 performances.

The pieces in this series cover a wide range of themes and creative approaches, reflecting the diversity of the programming.

We employed a combination collage, illustration and photography, as well as a recurring circular motif to tie together what would otherwise seem like disparate elements.

Photography was done by the inimitable Mckenzie James

In a world that can feel increasingly complex and, at times, perilous, it is our artists who remind us of our core beliefs, our togetherness, and our humanity.

-Brendan Healy,  Artistic Director

The different pieces were subsequently pulled apart and recombined into a short teaser video for Canadian Stage’s social media channels.
