The BMO Lab and Canadian Stage announce their new artist in residence, director Bronwen Sharp

The BMO Lab in Creative Research in the Arts, Performance, Emerging Technologies and AI in partnership with Canadian Stage is excited to announce that they have selected director Bronwen Sharp for their 2021-22 artist in residence program. Sharp will collaborate with Lab instructors and learn about the technologies and approaches being used in the Lab and explore their application for theatre and performance.

In the winter and spring, Sharp will attend and participate in the CDTPS’s Theatre and Emerging Technologies course and will also participate in a workshop production applying the technologies and performance modalities explored during her residency. The workshop production will be an adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, directed by German director and actor Johanna Schall, which will have two showings at Canadian Stage’s Berkeley Street Theatre — dates to be announced.
