RBC Emerging Artists – featuring Rong Fu - Shaw Festival Theatre

RBC Emerging Artists – featuring Rong Fu

We are pleased to introduce you to Rong Fu, one of the 2020 Season’s RBC Emerging Artists, a program dedicated to the artistic development of young ensemble members.

It’s Rong’s second season with us and we asked her what her biggest lesson at the Shaw Festival has been so far. Here’s what she shared:

“I am grateful that the Shaw Festival has taken the time to address issues around systemic racism and how it affects us in the theatre. Everyone in the Company has been taking part in conversations and workshops around anti-racism. These conversations have been difficult and challenging, but never lacking in love and joy. It has taught me to be hopeful, that when we can return to the theatre we will be more equitable and united. I can’t wait to see how it will serve the work we create for our audiences!”

RBC Emerging Artists are supported by the RBC Foundation.
