Theatre Engaging Communities (TEC)

You have a community engagement project?

Through the Theatre Engaging Communities (TEC) program, NTS supports* its students and recent graduates by financing some of their artistic projects produced outside of the School. This program combines the pursuit of artistic excellence with the determination to strengthen theatre’s social impact.

Are you unsure of which tier to apply for in your call for projects?
Do not hesitate to write at the following address: tec@ent-nts.ca.

*Only students and recent NTS graduates (up to 5 years after graduation) may apply for for a grant to produce or perform art projects outside of the School if these projects demonstrate social or community involvement.

Two types of grants are possible

Type 1

Project with moderate community involvement:
$1,000 to $2,500


Here, the intended community is invited to participate in part of the process
or the presentation without being at the centre of it.

Type 2

Project focusing on community involvement:
$3,000 to $5,000


Here community participation is central to all stages of the project.
The community is not only invited but benefits from the process and presentation, if applicable.

We are proud to present our winning 2023 projects!

Take a look for inspiration.
