theatre, arts and culture
Showcasing a different perspective
posAbilities is proud of its involvement in local arts and cultural activities. We engage in collaborative projects with other social service providers, community partners and sponsors, to create opportunities for:
- individuals who wish to express their artistic talent;
- those who wish to develop performance or production related skills;
- the public to learn about disability issues through a new lens.
Each year, we host theatre productions through our Stage Door Theatre Troupe and an Art Show for B.C. Artists with developmental disabilities. We are also developing capacity in digital storytelling, another media with which persons served can share their stories.
Stage Door Theatre:
Changing perceptions through the performing arts
The Stage Door Theatre Troupe provides an opportunity for creative individuals with developmental and other challenges to express their artistic gifts. The program offers camaraderie, skill building and training in theatre arts, stagecraft, and video production. Participants also gain insight into their own talent and capacity. The troupe is a cohesive force that conceptualizes, writes, produces and performs its own productions. Stage Door regularly participates in the Vancouver Fringe Festival. The troupe meets at Heritage Hall in East Vancouver.
Annual Art Show
posAbilities 6th Annual Art Show for B.C. Artists with Developmental Disabilities will be held October 14, 2010, Community Living Month.
