from the Board & Executive Director INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION FROM THE BOARD CHAIRWelcome to the first annual report of The Burlington Performing Arts Centre – a report that will become a regular feature of our communication to our various stakeholder groups.

By means of this report, your Board of Directors and Management Group will provide information on both the results of our operations, and our anticipated activities for the upcoming season.

But that raises the question – how should our results be evaluated? The answer is, we have several goals, and we should be judged on our achievement of each of them.

In no particular order (since readers can honestly have varying priorities), we must attract visitors; we must achieve financial results; we must bring in significant rental activity; and we must engage local performers and performing groups at The Centre, giving them an opportunity to entertain their supporters in this magnificent facility.

We believe we have made impressive strides in all these areas, in just a few short years. And we believe our future is bright, that we will continue to make a growing and responsible contribution to the quality of life in Burlington.

Your Board of Directors hopes and trusts that you find this report informative, and that the information it discloses supports our conviction that The Centre has become both a significant and important part of the social and cultural life of Burlington.

Rick Burgess Chairman, Theatre Board

52013 Annual Report

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORDear Friends,

Our 2013 season has seen a steady growth in both rentals and The Burlington Performing Arts Centre Presents programming. Attendance increased from 68,597 in 2012 to 77,597 in 2013. This number does not include all the wonderful performers who have performed on our stage, whose numbers are in the thousands as well. Uses of The Centre have also increased from 285 in 2012 to 317 in 2013. Of the 317 uses, 162 were rentals to non-profit organizations, 105 rentals to commercial renters and 50 for our own presenting program.

We have also seen continuing growth in our arts education program. This program provides the same access to the arts as children experience in major cities like Toronto. This past year students have attended performances like Scrap Arts Music, The Gruffalo, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar in addition to workshops, teacher development, technical and front of house internships. We have also made tickets available to students who otherwise could not afford them through our Golden Ticket Program.

Highlights in the 2013 presenting series include comedian Brent Butt, the late Peter Appleyard, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Natalie MacMaster, Bruce Cockburn, Jesse Cook, Ballet BC and Les Ballets jazz de Montréal, Gino Vannelli, Leahy and Colm Wilkinson, just to name a few of the outstanding performances.

Finally I would like to thank all of our donors, sponsors, volunteers and Board members. Their generosity in time, expertise and financial support make everything that we do at The Burlington Performing Arts Centre possible.

Outreach ProgramsEDUCATION

EDUCATION OUTREACH PROJECTThe Education Outreach Project is a three-year project, funded by The Ontario Trillium Foundation, that started in January 2012 and will continue until December 2014. The purpose of the Education Outreach Project is to create an on-going partnership with the local education community that will result in lasting opportunities for students, educators and parents to experience live professional performances in a world-class theatre setting. The Project has implemented six (6) core projects to realize its goal:

1. Elementary and Secondary School Performance Series (Field Trips) a. Matinee performances that are specifically programmed to reflect the Ontario Curriculum are

made available during the weekday. Students attend performances at a highly reduced fee of $9.50 per ticket.

2. Student Workshops/Engagement a. In-school workshops are programmed to extend the dialogue beyond the theatre walls, into the

classroom and school community.

3. Teacher Professional Development a. Workshops are designed to help elementary teachers use drama and movement as learning tools in

the classroom.

4. Golden Ticket Program a. This program facilitates the distribution of free tickets to schools that would otherwise not be able to

access a live theatrical performance. This program is delivered in partnership with the Halton District School Board and the Halton Learning Foundation.

5. Theatre Industry Mentorship Program a. A program specific to secondary students interested in pursuing a career in the theatre industry.

This program includes Co-operative Placements in Technical Production and Hospitality/Event Coordination, Technical Workshops and a Theatre Industry Career Day.

6. Audience Development (Previews & Open Houses) a. Annual Educator Previews and other special events encourage ongoing partnerships between local

district school boards and The Centre resulting in higher awareness of the project, participation in events and ticket sales.


THEATRE INDUSTRY MENTORSHIP PROGRAM AT THE BURLINGTON PERFORMING ARTS CENTREThe Burlington Performing Arts Centre is a hub of cultural activity and we are passionate in our support of the next generation of theatre industry professionals. This passion has developed over the years into a very unique branch of our Education Outreach Program that now encompasses co-operative placements, workshops and a career day for those secondary students interested in a career in the theatre industry (SHSM students are encouraged).

Co-operative Placement: Back of House Technical Production

A full-semester placement offering hands-on experience to senior students interested in working backstage in Technical Services. The Centre’s Technical Staff will mentor the successful candidate and provide training in the myriad of production duties.

Co-operative Placement: Front of House Hospitality and Event Coordination

Another full-semester placement providing an opportunity for students to work in a non-technical environment. Under the mentorship of the Audience Services Manager, the student will learn about special event planning, hospitality, catering, artist liaison and accommodations.

Technical Workshops Production, Light & Sound: An Introductory Workshop

Small groups of students work collaboratively with members of the Technical Services team to explore staging, rigging, lighting design, sound engineering and tour management. Students leave with a greater understanding of the various roles of a theatre technician.

Theatre Industry Career DayCareer Day is a fantastic opportunity for students to interact with some of today’s top industry professionals. Whether it’s a writer, a marketer, stage manager or a lighting technician, each professional contributes something to an audience’s theatre experience. A fascinating array of guests will explore how a performance starts as a creative idea and becomes a tangible performance on stage. Intimate break-out sessions, interactive stations, informal talks as well as a Marketplace of post-secondary institutions offering theatre related programming will offer student as chance to explore the varied opportunities in the theatre industry.


DANCE OUTREACH 2013The Burlington Performing Arts Centre receives a grant from The Ontario Arts Council to participate in the Ontario Dances Program. Ontario Dances seeks to have more dance performances in Ontario communities and more people engaged, interested and invested in dance at a local level in our province. The program aims to increase the range and diversity of dance available to communities in Ontario outside of the city of Toronto.

Ontario Dances offers the public the opportunity to participate in dance at all levels from dance classes and workshops to dance artists in residence to the presentation of dance by Ontario-based professional dance artists.

Ontario Dances is about:

• Audience development: providing opportunities for more people to take part in dance as both audiences and participants through performances and arts education or learning programs.

• Curatorial development: enabling arts presenters to take part in professional development programs and networking opportunities that expand their knowledge of dance in Ontario.

• Presentation of Ontario dance artists: supporting arts presenters to undertake artistic risks that engage their audiences in new experiences in dance from Ontario’s dance artists in all dance genres including contemporary and classical dance expressions of all world cultures.

The Burlington Performing Arts Centre offered several intensive dance outreach activities during 2013.

Outreach 2013DANCE


Tap Dance Outreach with Shawn Byfield Sunday, January 20, 2013

We are excited to present the very first Tap Dance Outreach to local dancers, beginner to Advanced level, with amazing dancer Shawn Byfield. Dora Award winning choreographer Shawn Byfield is a veteran of TV & film, and an internationally renowned tap dance & hip hop dance instructor. He’s a 2007 Gemini Award Nominee, Co-Director of Thrive! Entertainment and Director of Funk Factory, Canada’s National Tap Dance Ensemble.

Contemporary Residency with Laurence Lemieux from Coleman Lemieux & CompagnieFebruary/March 2013

An opportunity for local dancers to work directly with a professional Toronto choreographer, Laurence Lemieux. Auditions were held on February 25 for this amazing opportunity to learn a new piece and the chosen dancers performed the piece at The Burlington Performing Arts Centre before the Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie performance on March 6, 2013.

Peggy Baker Outreach EventSunday, October 20, 2013

Renowned contemporary dancer/choreographer Peggy Baker performs “Disappearance of Right and Left”, followed by a Q&A and ending with a 90 minute Masterclass for teens and adults.

Born in Edmonton Alberta in 1952, Ms. Baker began her professional career in Toronto, in 1974, as a founding member, and later artistic director, of Toronto’s Dancemakers, where she participated in more than 50 premieres by Canadian choreographers and contributed three works to the repertoire. She toured internationally as a prominent member of Lar Lubovitch’s celebrated New York company throughout the eighties and joined Mikhail Baryshnikov and Mark Morris for the inaugural season of their White Oak Dance Project in 1990.

Les Ballets Jazz de MontréalWednesday, November 20, 2013

Teaching dance is a priority for Les Ballets jazz de Montréal (BJM). BJM’s professional team of dances offered an introductory and exploratory masterclass to local dancers in the Community Studio Theatre in the afternoon as well as a talk back session with the audience immediately following the evening performance on November 20th. This is a unique opportunity to encounter the ideas of young creators who are well on their way to become the leading choreographers of tomorrow.

THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERSOne hundred and twenty three citizens strong, our volunteer team has delivered first rate experiences to the thousands of men, women and children who have attended the Theatre in our 2013 season. Serving as ticket takers, ambassadors, ushers, coat check attendants, merchandise assistants, hospitality and housekeeping helpers and much more, these volunteers have logged over 11,200 hours. An increase over the previous season by 498 logged hours.

Seventy of our current volunteers have been with us since our opening season and eight of whom have individually dedicated more than 200 hours in this season alone. Refresher training was provided this past fall to our existing team, and we aim to expand our crew and diversity of roles this summer, recruiting another 50-100 volunteers. We now look forward to recognizing and celebrating our team’s achievements in July at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Party.
