About
Public Energy Performing Arts supports the creation, touring, and presentation of innovative contemporary performing arts. Based in Peterborough, Ontario, we present a season of contemporary theatre, dance, and interdisciplinary performance, while building community through outreach programming and developing audiences that are knowledgeable and passionate. Through our programs, which include presentations, residencies, commissions, mentorships, and professional workshops and classes, we provide artists with a safe and supportive environment to create and perform new work and interact with a broad public. Public Energy Performing Arts supports diverse work, both in terms of cultural influences and artistic innovation. We prioritize Indigenous work through our performance curation and through partnerships with Indigenous organizations, such as the Chanie Wenjack School for Indigenous Studies at Trent University. Public Energy Performing Arts is committed to making art more accessible, more balanced in its representation, and more inclusive to all.
