ACTRA Toronto presents its #ACTRACon Members Fall Conference, Saturday September 21, 2019 at the Ted Rogers School of Management, 55 Dundas Street West, Toronto. The annual conference is a packed day of panels, workshops, masterclasses, pitch sessions and networking.
Featured at this year’s conference, the creative team behind the hit CBC series CORONER (Back Alley/Muse) joins host Nicole Stamp for an exciting panel titled Casting Coroner: How Diversity Drives The New Hit!
Giving a sneak peak into the creative and casting process behind the scenes, the panel includes Executive Producer/director Adrienne Mitchel, Showrunner Morwyn Brebner, Co-Producer/writer Seneca Aaron, Co-Producer/writer Nathalie Younglai, Executive Story Editor/writer Motion and Casting Director Lisa Parasyn.
Ever wonder how the casting process really works? Who makes the decisions, and what this means for actors? For answers to these questions and more, join the creative team behind Coroner, Canada’s #1 new drama — a female-driven show where the majority of primary characters are people of colour, Indigenous and/or LGBTQ+. This is a unique opportunity to hear how a top production team works, why diversity in television is critical, and how a focus on inclusive casting shapes an entire series.
