Colouring Book Theatre is a new company that seeks to create theatre experiences for young audiences that “draw outside the lines,” and emphasizes centring persons of colour on/offstage in TYA stories. We seek to create work that reflects children (especially children of colour) and their interests and futures in our art, and prioritize meaningful relationships between artists and audiences. Other works in development include The Book of Kit and Mel, a new TYA musical, in partnership with Shakespeare in Action.
Deivan Steele (he/him) is a South African-Canadian actor, director, writer, and educator. His work has brought him to theatres like Driftwood, Shakespeare in Action, Next Stage Festival, Shakespeare by the Sea, Outside the March, Bad Hats, Unwrap Theatre, and Prague Shakespeare Co. He is Neptune Theatre’s INKubator artist-in-residence, where he’s developing his new play, Palany. Currently, his practice focuses on embracing an ‘aesthetic of liveness’, lifting up future generations through theatre, and staging expansive world histories.
Breanne Tice (she/her) is a next generation mad creator, educator, and actor who has performed with companies including Theatre by the Bay, Theatre on the Ridge, and Bard in the Park. She has been an artist educator for Soulpepper Theatre Company since 2019, specializing in teaching movement to young people. Breanne focuses on programming that is accessible to all body types and abilities, and encourages young people to find power, beauty, and creativity in their natural bodies.
