Each of these three organizations is deeply invested in unifying the stilting community and has committed to hosting the event on alternate years between our home cities of Edmonton and Calgary. In October 2024 Three Left Feet hosted the Canadian National Stilt Symposium. In addition to the efforts of the co-producers this event was supported by Evergreen Theatre and Community Spaces and Green Fools. The CNSS hosts workshops lecture presentations roundtable discussions public activations and an evening performance. We believe that: • Our multi-faceted artistic practices are advanced through a sustained and interconnected arts ecosystem. • Canadian stilt artists and associated arts professionals benefit from activities that advance learning and strengthen networks within the stilting community. • Events like the Canadian National Stilt Symposium encourage cross-pollination of skills artistic intent approaches to accessibility and inclusion cultural reflections by bringing artists from one region to another in order to gain awareness of realities and capacities of different Canadian contexts. • We are better together. CNSS is a co-production by three organizations who believe in providing a forum for the wonder spectacle and cultural practices of stiltwork across the globe.
