This #UrgentExchange was planned weeks before Kristin Booth, Trish Fagan, Diana Bentley and Hannah Miller came forward. When they did, it became an opportunity for the Toronto theatre community to come together, reel, and start talking about some concrete things we can do to create concrete change. A special thank you to Donna-Michelle St. Bernard and Jivesh Parasram, who moderated a community convening before the #UrgentExchange began.
On Saturday, January 6th, seven groups of presenters (pictured) spoke about models for change, followed by on opportunity for audience members to learn more in break-out sessions. We are so glad to be able to share these presentations with you in video form (shot and edited by Ryan Weatherby) and we hope they will serve to educate, inspire, and bring change.
