SOYTF 2015 | WINDSOR what moves you?
SOYTF 2015 | WINDSOR what moves you? WELCOME SOYTF 2015 | WINDSOR CANADA’S ONLY FESTIVAL DEVOTED TO THE PRESENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE, COLLABORATIVE, AND SOCIALLY RELEVANT THEATRE FOR YOUTH The Southern Ontario Youth Theatre Festival (SOYTF) is an annual celebration of innovative creation and performance, engaging youth from as far south as Windsor, east to Niagara Falls, north to Ottawa, and everywhere in between. We invite students, teachers, and audiences to share creativity and to inspire each other through participation and performance. We present work that is innovative, collaborative, and socially relevant; intrinsic, theatrical art with deep, awe-inspiring, and thought-provoking messages. We are devoted to pushing boundaries, providing students the unique ability to tell their own stories. Together, as a community, we give audiences the chance to ask their own questions – about themselves, the way they live, what moves them, and why.

Photos by Jeremy Burke and Julia Krauss Bur Oak SS | Markham SHOES by Cast Collective Sunday, May 24 @ 9:00am SYNOPSIS / DIRECTOR’S NOTE Shoes is a community class production. The students in this production are teenagers who each bring an individual set of talents and skills to this show. They also each have their own unique challenges. Some of the students are autistic, developmentally delayed, and have Down Syndrome. This show explores the students’ dreams as well as what makes them happy. Some of these kids have big dreams, dreams of going to college, or becoming a famous chef, and some of the kids have simple dreams of driving a car or getting a job washing windows. The message and importance of this show is not how attainable a dream is, but rather the importance of dreaming and the importance of living in the moment. These kids teach me about living in the moment, free of judgment or censorship. Teaching and directing this group of actors is absolutely freeing in the sense that I am able to play and to join in on their impulsiveness and freedom without fear of failure or judgment. “If You Could Walk a Day in my Shoes” will give you a fifteen-minute glimpse of these student’s dreams and moments of joy, big and small.

To all the students participating in this year’s festival; you are the reason we are here. To all the staff advisors for being so kind and excited for what this festival stands for. To all the Ontario school boards for investing in the arts. To all the parents and guardians for believing in their children. To my co-pilot and partner-in-life, Julia Krauss, whose talent and positive energies are a constant source of inspiration. And to the theatre creators who came before us, who weren’t afraid to create something new and different, and who were the pioneers in shaping the cultural identities of their communities. To all, I say Thank You.
