URBAN CURVZ advocates a Calgary theatre ecology that celebrates the excellence of its female practitioners! Our community is teaming with intelligent and talented women looking for consistent creative challenges. We want to see more professional productions that provide female artists with engaging artistic opportunities. By encouraging and giving priority to the women artists of Canada we wish to celebrate the female experience as a source of autonomous art.

URBAN CURVZ’ mandate is to celebrate women’s stories through
the art of theatre while upholding our Guiding Principles.

Our Guiding Principles are:

• To provide opportunities for emerging and established female artists alike
  in a supportive environment that fosters mentorship and development.
• To encourage and engage in projects with artists who are not afraid to challenge
  the status quo and who are committed to effecting social change.
• To find inspiration in likeminded organizations and to form partnerships which
  develop supportive relationships in order to strengthen our common initiatives.
• To choose projects which incorporate universal themes and appeal to a universal aesthetic.
• To encourage our audience to examine the condition of our social, political,
  and economical climate.
• To create a not-for-profit organization with longevity and financial sustainability
  that fairly compensates all its artists and gives back to the community.
