Are you Canadian or know someone who is? Please check out this call for acting training. It’s in Canada so while you’re there getting your training, they’re paying you to be there. Sigh.

About the organization
ReAct is an acting and visual storytelling program committed to the creative and social development of emerging actors and content creators. We facilitate the vocational training of these artists who face barriers to traditional post-secondary education and discrimination when it comes to acting on screen (e.g. race, culturally diverse disability, gender diversity, mental health, deaf, hard of hearing, and/or aboriginal).
ReAct wants to look at what is being left out of the mainstream narratives, challenging artists and audiences to take a new look at our world and our stories within it.
ReAct is an arts incubator and community initiative of Trembling Void Studios.
