ABOUT US
Filament Incubator was founded with the express intent to be a launching pad for underproduced and underrepresented emerging artists, programming them on a consistent, monthly basis. We aim to be a catalyst in the creation and development of new Canadian Work that spans a myriad of perspectives and aesthetics.
​
It is important to us that we offer opportunity to young artists that are facing an industry that is being forced to tighten purse-strings and, in many cases, scale back development programs for artists that lack experience and acclaim. It is also our aim to reclaim an independent theatre movement that has become increasingly commercial in its programming and operation.
We, as a collective, have found ourselves amidst a landscape that has been shaped by our elders and that we are expected to inhabit and inherit. It is our aim to explore, engage, and investigate a society that was built by/for a generation much different than our own. We are hungry. We are curious. We are driven.
​
The Incubator is the collective brainchild of Daniel Bagg, Aaron Jan, Andrew Markowiak and Zach Parkhurst.
