Biography
Nightswimming is an award-winning dramaturgical theatre company, established in 1995, led by dramaturg Brian Quirt and producer Brittany Ryan, devoted to theatrical research, creation and performance. We explore new forms by commissioning Canada’s leading artists in the fields of theatre, music and dance. We create powerful, moving and beautiful works of performance, and pursue the study of stories and how they are told in the theatre.
Nightswimming is devoted, through the creation of these new works, to advancing the field of dramaturgy and play development in Canada. Nightswimming commissions, develops and workshops these projects but generally does not produce them. We seek out established performing arts companies as partners in an extended developmental process leading to premiere productions by our partner companies.
We are committed to conducting ground-breaking research in our field, and to supporting artists from across Canada through our Pure Research program.
