Our Guiding Principles
The Department of Theatre has established living guidelines to address urgent social issues and to ensure that students, staff and faculty can work and create together in a respectful, sensitive manner.
Anti-oppression statement
The Department’s Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Committee worked to create a living document addressing oppression and systemic racism in our institution and classrooms.
Committment to sustainable practices
The Department of Theatre acknowledges the severity and urgency of the climate crisis. We recognize that artistic creation can result in negative ecological impact.
Guidelines on Consent in Staging Difficult and/or Sensitive Content
The Department of Theatre takes consent seriously, especially when it comes to asking anyone – especially a student – to participate in staging potentially difficult and/or sensitive content.
Safe, respectful workplace statement
All members of our Theatre Department’s community are expected to engage with the spirit of professional theatre practice: a commitment to hard work and high-quality results, in an environment of courteous, respectful behaviour.
Accessibility Statement
The Department of Theatre aims to be a place where everyone has equitable opportunities to work, learn, collaborate, and play. We are striving to make our spaces, teaching, and activities as accessible and inclusive as possible.
