Please note that the WSD 2022 Scenofest portal is now closed and we are no longer accepting applications. Thank you for your interest.

Scenofest events with limited seating capacity will be ticketed. Tickets for performances will be $15 CAD while workshop prices will vary depending on the cost of providing the workshop. There will be free events that may require tickets due to seating capacity. There will also be free events that are included with registration that do not require tickets. Ticket income will be used to cover the overall costs of the festival.

WSD is a platform for global theatre communities and we appreciate designers and performers who contribute their passion and energy to WSD 2022. Although we cannot provide financial support for air travel or other costs, we will provide access to group discounted accommodations and technical support during WSD 2022. We are also prepared to assist with letters of invitation for funding in your home country.

The WSD 2022 Team has decided to postpone opening ticket sales for performances, workshops, and other events until May, when we hope to have a better sense of our COVID-19 capacity restrictions. Registration for WSD remains open.

Performance Design was formally referred to as Scenography. This category will look at designers who cross several disciplines such as lighting and set, set and costume, etc. Space Design refers to designs for performance spaces outside of what might be perceived as “standard” scenic/set designs.

If you do not see your work(s) fitting into the listed categories (Performance Design, Set Design, Space Design, Set Design, Lighting Design, Costume Design, Sound Design, Projection and Multimedia Design), you are welcome to submit your works to Alternative Design.
Alternative Design may include but is not limited to Ecoscenography and Sustainable Design, Indigenous Design, AR/VR/MR, Technical Design, Make-up Design, Puppetry Design, Theatre Architecture Design, etc.
