NTS is proud to welcome professional artists into its midst to support them on their artistic journey.
Training opportunities are designed to support the development of each individual resident and are created in conjunction with the artist, and the Artistic and Program Directors of both sections. The journey at NTS includes exposure to a wide variety of disciplines, theatrical forms, teachers and coaches. The residencies can culminate in individual projects that will live beyond the artist’s time at NTS. Residents come from across Canada, and beyond.

”I applied because I want to build my capacity as a leader, so whenever this shift happens again, whenever the next opportunity would present itself, there would be no reason why I wouldn’t be a candidate to assume those positions.”
– Kim Senklip Harvey, Birks Family Foundation Artistic Leadership Residency, 2019
Carlos Rivera Martìnez
”Theatre and dance and music have always been in Indigenous communities. So to be able to get the skills and to be able to do it, using contemporary language, is really important, and to share with all the cultures what we are coming from, and to see the potential of the stories, all stories, our stories.”
– Carlos Rivera Martìnez, Indigenous Artist in Residence, 2018, Mexico, of Nahua and Mixteco descent, supported by Cole Foundation
