For years, award-winning actress Roseanne Supernault has produced acting workshops specifically for Indigenous youth in remote communities and reserves.

This year, Creatives Empowered has collaborated with Roseanne to create and offer an online version of her acting workshop for Alberta’s IBPOC community!

This workshop took place over 2 days via ZOOM – on OCTOBER 15 and 16, 2022 – and covered the craft of acting for professional film and television, as well as the business side, providing education and resources on head shots, bios, auditioning, talent agencies and casting.

This was a FREE workshop, and available to a maximum of 20 people, on a first come, first serve basis.  

No prior acting experience was necessary!

Participants had to be Alberta residents, 18 years of age or older, and self-identify as Black, Indigenous and / or a Person of Colour / racialized.
