As the pandemic ravages live theatre, these leaders hold hope and uncertainty for their future | CBC Arts A roundtable discussion between five Canadian theatre makers on how the art might evolve past this year.

LOCATION SPOTLIGHT: SUDBURY Over the last few years Letterkenny, Castle In The Ground, The Silencing, Indian Horse and more have all used Sudbury to create their worlds.

#Nurses premiered in the U.S. on @nbc on Monday with Season 2 currently in production. We spoke with DGC Ontario Directors @worldwidewinnie, @jjhcanning, and Kelly Makin; Picture Editors @johnjnicholls , @tokyorosed, and @teresa.hannigan; and Production Designer @johnny_rexdale about making TV in Toronto, filming during COVID-19, their favourite scenes of the show, and the Director/Editor/Designer relationship. ✨Director Jordan Canning: “With all the regulations in place I honestly feel safer on a film set right now than in a grocery store!” ✨Director Winnifred Jong: “What I love about filming in Toronto is that it’s a vibrant, diverse, open city. It can service big budget American shows, be the home and heart of Canadian television shows and still have room for the indie scrappy filmmaker.” ✨Director Kelly Makin: "Although everyone was social distancing, I felt closer to the cast and crew than I ever have." ✨Picture Editor John Nichols : “We were all hoping that the cast and crew would be safe, wondering where and how we’d get dailies, as well as how we’d be doing cuts. Thankfully, and this goes hand in hand with what I love about working in this city, the people, all pulled together and made it work.” ✨Production Designer John Dondertman: "I love and need to hear a Directors ideas and concepts. I like discussing floor plans, camera angles and working out colour, texture, graphics, you name it. Collaborating is the best part of my job. Nurses has brought together a fantastic group of talented, diverse, interesting, and accomplished Canadian Directors from across the country.” 📍Link In Bio for the full story
