About
On Cue Performance Hub, Inc.
Our Mandate and Mission
Our Mission: To strengthen Regina’s theatre and performing arts community; afford greater public access to these art forms; and increase the career viability of professional performing arts groups and individual artists. To do so, we recognize that Regina is a component of a broader cultural ecosystem. As such, we seek to partner with artists and performing arts organizations province-wide, offering our services broadly to the extent possible.
Our Mandate:
Objectives
1: To create a “shared platform” of partners supporting the needs of performing artists (established and emerging), cultural workers and smaller performing arts organizations through shared access to space; publicity and box office support; and technical expertise for live and digital production.
2: To increase the availability of affordable and accessible spaces suitable for the needs of emerging performing artists and cultural workers—including digital facilities and professional quality performing arts spaces.
3: To support and advance the creative careers of underserved artists from priority groups including Indigenous people, newcomers, people of colour, Deaf, disabled, age and gender diverse communities.
4: To cultivate a diverse audience for the performing arts, broadly defined, with attention to equitable public access to creative artists and creative works which speak to the wide range of cultural experiences, issues and stories of interest within our province.
5: To provide professional development, mentorship and support materials for independent performing artists and small companies.
6: To foster a collaborative and supportive environment for the advancement of the performing arts and artists through the development of partnerships and a broad network of supporters.
Our Vision: A broader and more diverse community of performing artists and groups realizing their creative visions and a financially sustainable creative practice through the engagement of citizens and visitors in a robust array of well-presented and produced performing arts offerings.
The Performing Arts Mean Business
On Cue Performance Hub is an entrepreneurial start up focused on making Regina a viable location for independent performing artists to make a sustainable living. Our goal is better retention of creatives within our community through a supportive environment that facilitates innovation and the realization of creative ideas—while providing practical professional development of the business and administrative skills creative entrepreneurs need to survive and thrive as independent artists.
The Performing Arts Mean Diversity
On Cue Performance Hub is a new non-profit arts organization offering a cooperative producing platform serving local artists and diverse audiences in Regina and beyond. We place a priority on artists from under-served communities. This in particular involves a high priority on enabling the work and careers of artists from our BIPOC, newcomer, Deaf, disabled, age, and gender diverse communities. We support their development as artists, their capacity to create new work and tell stories that connect with and build a new and similarly more inclusive audience for the performing arts through live performance in Regina and video-on-demand available to millions of viewers internationally.
The Performing Arts Mean Innovation
We are a new organization, with a new organizational model and approach plus a focus on new work and new voices that speak to new audiences. Our innovation is in the way we see and ask our audiences to see and experience the performing arts.
