CITY OF WINNIPEG 

https://www.tourismwinnipeg.com/

THE ORGANIZATION

In 1958, founders John Hirsch and Tom Hendry and their supporters had what might have seemed like a crazy dream. Their vision was to produce great theatre with mass appeal in what was then a city of less than half-a-million people on the Canadian prairies. Since then, Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre (Royal MTC) has created, produced, and presented extraordinary theatre for a vibrant audience which became a model for regional theatres throughout North America.

The stability and health of Royal MTC over time has enabled programming in two downtown venues, the creation and support of the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival, and a regional tour. As North America’s oldest English language regional theatre, Royal MTC believes its responsibility is to be a theatre for all Manitobans. Located in Winnipeg, now a city of more than 800,000 residents with Canada’s largest urban Indigenous population, Royal MTC is committed to building authentic relationships through art that will foster reconciliation. Royal MTC has advanced an organization-wide conversation about diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Its mission is to truly both reflect and engage the community it serves.

 

THE COMMUNITY

Winnipeg is a culturally diverse city where more than 100 languages are spoken, and where over 34% of the population are visible minorities (based on Statistics Canada’s 2021 census). Just over 11% of the total population are from the Philippines. Over 12% of Winnipeg’s population identify as Indigenous, with events and celebrations including Indigenous Day Live and the Manito Ahbee Festival. The city has a robust French-speaking population (about 10% of residents’ mother-tongue is French) and hosts the winter-time Festival du Voyageur, which celebrates the region’s francophone, Métis and Indigenous culture and history. The city is also home to Folklorama, the world’s largest and longest-running multicultural festival.

The heart of Winnipeg is The Forks, a historic site at the intersection of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, with warehouses converted to shops and restaurants, plus ample green space dedicated to festivals, concerts, and exhibits. Nearby, the Exchange District is known for its well-preserved, early 20th-century architecture and numerous art galleries.

Known as the ‘cultural cradle of Canada’, in addition to the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, Winnipeg is home to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Manitoba Opera, and the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival, North America’s 2nd largest Fringe, which is produced by Royal MTC. Winnipeg also boasts the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the Manitoba Museum, and the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s Qaumajuq, home to the largest public collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world.

The generosity of the Winnipeg community represents the largest per capita for philanthropy in Canada. In addition, 57 out of 200 foundations in Canada are based in Winnipeg with the Winnipeg Foundation being the biggest.

Winnipeg is a four-season city with something for everyone. Ranked as number three in Canada’s Most Livable Cities (The Globe and Mail, 2023), Winnipeg offers a great place to raise a family, with reasonable cost of housing, good schools, and a vibrant sense of community. The city is surrounded by prairie, forests, and hundreds of lakes including the world’s 11th-largest freshwater lake. Vacation country is easy to get to, most beaches and lakes are much less than 2-hours away by car. Known for its many tree-canopied neighbourhoods, Winnipeg enjoys an average of 317 days of sunshine per year, much more than most of Canada.

DESIRED PROFILE

The successful candidate will be a well-respected theatre leader who is artistically and pedagogically committed and experienced. They will have knowledge of the evolution and transformation of the theatre community, as well as of creation and production processes. They will be mission driven and praised for their contribution to their community.

Their career path will have enabled them to demonstrate exceptional skills in communication (internal and external), leadership and organizational management. They will have a strong ability to articulate their vision to a team of collaborators and a dynamic and committed management group, as well as a track record of executing on that vision. They will be genuinely curious, have keen observation and listening skills and be recognized as an empathetic leader by their peers.

They will have excellent written and oral communication skills in English and a working knowledge of French will be viewed as a considerable strength. Experience in a management role within a theatre company or organization will be considered a strong asset.

WORKING CONDITIONS

Employment contract for a four (4) year term including a 6-months probation period, with a possible renewal. The base salary for this position is between $110,000-120,000 per year, according to the candidate's experience. A full benefits package will be added to the base salary, including a competitive pension plan and health benefits, as well as a modest relocation budget, if required. Flexibility in the workplace is an essential value at the School, as is reconciliation of professional and personal life.

Language

Because of the particular linguistic status of the National Theatre School and the fact that its training programs are offered in either official language, permanent staff are required to at least be able to understand and express themselves in the official language(s) other than their first language.

It is therefore expected that, regardless of the language level at the time of hiring, within 12 months, all employees will have taken the necessary steps through language training to reach a functional level, which means participation in short conversations related to daily tasks or other familiar topics. The school has training budgets and may be able to contribute to the costs of such training.

Starting date

From March 2024 to June 2024, the English Section is mobilized around the admissions process for the new cohort of students (due to arrive in the Fall of 2024) and oversees the planning and preparation of courses and productions presented during the next school year.

APPLICATION PROCESS

The recruitment of the new Executive Artistic Director of the English Section will be carried out by a selection committee comprising the CEO, a member of the pedagogical team of the English Section, an alumnus, as well as artists from the country's diverse theatre and art community (the names of the various individuals will be shared with candidates later on in the process).

NTS undertakes to treat all applications in the strictest confidence.

The person who will take over as Executive Artistic Director will be invited to participate in key moments of the admissions process and preparation for the new school year.

It is expected that the new Executive Artistic Director will take on the role on a full-time basis starting on August 1, 2024. The workload and specific timetable will be the subject of open discussions between the new EAD, the CEO, Fanny Pagé, and the pedagogical team.
