Mission Statement
Nightswimming is an award-winning Toronto-based dramaturgical theatre company with a national mandate focused on theatrical creation, performance and research through commissioning and developing new Canadian plays, musical works and dance. Established in 1995, Nightswimming explores new forms and creates powerful, moving and beautiful works of performance. Through those new works, we are devoted to advancing the field of dramaturgy – the exploration of theatrical stories and how they are told – and play development in Canada.
About This Cause
Nightswimming has commissioned and developed more than 30 projects. To date 28 of those projects have been produced in more than 100 productions and runs at theatres and festivals in Toronto and across the country from Victoria to Whitehorse to St. John’s. Nightswimming creates and workshops these commissioned projects, but generally does not produce them. We commit to long-term relationships with our writers and provide them with the tools they need: substantial commissions; on-going dramaturgical support; readings and workshops; high calibre actors; colleagues from the areas of design, choreography and music; and a developmental process that is ideally suited to their requirements. Our critically acclaimed plays-in-performance explore challenging theatrical forms and emotionally rich stories with bold visual style. Rather than self-produce the works we commission and develop, we seek out established performing arts companies as partners in an extended developmental process leading to premiere productions by our partner companies.
