About
In his monthly editorial published in International Arts Manager magazine, Gilles Doré, Executive Director of CINARS, reflects on the changes taking place in the performing arts.
As we open CINARS’ series on transformation in the performing arts, I turn to professionals who navigate these shifts firsthand. At CINARS, a Canadian based organization committed to supporting the international circulation of the performing arts, we are preparing a delegation of Québec companies and agents for APAP 2026 in New York. We wanted to know: How is the American market evolving for international touring artists? Recent disruptions have reshaped programming priorities, funding structures, and professional networks across the United States. To better understand the landscape facing international companies, I spoke with two leading voices in the field: Ruth Juliet Wikler, curator, producer, and cultural strategist, and Michael Reed, Senior Director of Programs and Organizational Initiatives at ASU Gammage.
