INDUSTRY OUTREACH Industry outreach continued to be an effective way of engaging with the performing arts and motion picture communities throughout 2017. 2017 was a year of continued progress on all fronts. From an epic 3300km road trip into the BC interior to invitations to four separate conferences in multiple disciplines including Theatre BC’s mainstage event in Vernon, the ABCDE (drama teachers) conference, CITT/ICTS Conference in St John New Brunswick, all with great turn out and feedback. We also had increased interest in the Performing Arts Safety Awareness workshop (72 certificates) and two performing arts groups taking the Joint Health and Safety Committee Fundamentals Training. 1 PERFORMING ARTS, VENUES AND EVENTS OUTREACH But our greatest milestone was three post- secondary programs adding the Performing Arts Safety Awareness workshop to their curriculum! Capilano University, Douglas College and Simon Fraser University all signed up to add safety to their programs. - Don Parman, Performing Arts Industry Advisor What’s Wrong With This Picture?
