The performances abroad threatened?

According to a survey by the International Conference of Performing Arts (CINARS), there are over 600 performances in the world that could be canceled. CINARS also believed that there would be about $ 5 million in revenue to be lost next year because of cuts in aid programs for tours of the Conservative government of Stephen Harper. The survey was conducted among 220 Canadian theater, dance and music. For example, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra estimated 10% of its losses, the Grands Ballets Canadiens provide $ 250 000 in losses and a shortened tour. The creek provides Éloize lose $ 700 000 and may have to cancel some thirty shows. Ditto for the dance company Marie Chouinard, which could reduce 50% of its tour. CINARS admits that these results are partial, but argues that they are disturbing and indicate more job losses and a lack of credibility. The cuts announced in culture some time ago are still not confirmed, but it appears that federal programs and Prom'Art Trade Routes covered by the cuts were urged not to travel to CINARS which begins this Tuesday . CINARS is the trade show dedicated to the performing arts the largest in the world. It takes place from 17 to 23 November and will likely be the scene of many discussions on the financing of international activities and promotion abroad.
