PRISMATIC 2010 |
| Canada’s artistic community is full of colour, brilliant – Prismatic.
Join us in Halifax in October 2010 to celebrate the talents and vision of Canada’s leading culturally diverse artists and to engage in stimulating dialogue about developments in Canadian arts and culture. Prismatic 2010 will feature innovative new works presented throughout the community in free and ticketed events, culminating in a spectacular showcase performance. This event is a significant opportunity for Nova Scotian audiences to connect with artists from a variety of disciplines, including dance, music, theatre and visual arts. Prismatic 2010 promises to be a stimulating arts experience. In addition to all this, Onelight Theatre is pleased to be partnering with one of Canada’s most established Aboriginal theatre companies, De Ba Jeh Mu Jig, to host the Prismatic 2010 conference. Together with participants from across the country, we will explore the complex histories and experiences of Canada’s Aboriginal and culturally diverse artists with a view to establishing common areas for artistic and professional collaboration. Prismatic promotes the pursuit of artistic excellence through collaboration, innovation and dialogue. Prismatic: Full of colour – brilliant.
