This year’s Children, Youth, and Performance Conference is held by York University in Partnership with the Young People’s Theatre. The conference includes a range of workshops, networking opportunities, panels, and performances for students, researchers, artists and educators from June 25th until June 27th, 2021.
Our special invited presenters include established researchers, playwrights and artists in the field such as Dr. Urvashi Sahni, Djennie Laguerre, Dr. Naila Keleta-Mae, Mike Payette, Herbie Barnes, and Lauren Gunderson!
This event provides attendees with ideas and resources to use performing arts methods in their work with children and young people, opportunities for networking with colleagues in the field, and participating in unique workshops.
This is an opportunity to learn new skills, take workshops, and set your resume apart. We are offering a significant discount to students (covering all sessions, workshops, performances).
All students receive the discounted fee of $15 plus tax for three days of activities.
