FRESH AiR ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE
Our two-year Fresh AiR program provides artists with one opportunity to develop a new work ahead of a premiere the following year. This year, 2026-27 Fresh AiR Artists Alex Ward & Alexander Voutchkov present a reading of their new play Goalie Play while 2025-2026 Fresh AiR Artist Shyanne Duquette presents the next iteration of SKNHEAD.
Goalie Play
Alex Ward, Alex Voutchkov
A goalie and his drummer. A severe injury which puts a career, and lifetime, into question. One man, one act, on ice.

SKNHEAD
Shyanne Duquette
A group of inner-city kids search for belonging, only to find themselves drawn into groups that lead to insidious ends.
SKNHEAD was developed by Shyanne Duquette with support from Canada Council, The Major Matt Mason Collective, Edmonton Arts Council, Alberta Playwrights Network, and through our 2025 – 26 Fresh AiR Artist Residency.
