"Shifting Grounds"
The seasonal breakup of ice and snow is a moment of creative release, and of potential risk. Periods of waiting, tension, and anticipation give way to flow and unpredictability, allowing ideas to move freely and relationships to change and form in the fertile ground of transition. Times of transition, change, or the in-between can feel fragile, yet they are rich with potential. Just as ice breaks on a river, the spaces of instability allow movement, experimentation, and the emergence of new pathways.
Join PACT to rediscover a meaningful opportunity for rootedness and awareness. Being deeply connected to place while remaining attuned to wider contexts allows ideas, art, and collaboration to extend our perspectives and flourish in new and exciting ways.
About Whitehorse
PACTcon 2026 brings theatre leaders together for the first time in conference history in the Yukon for an exciting opportunity to convene for an invigorating renewal amongst colleagues. Experiences will extend beyond the conference with the opportunity to engage with the Awaken Festival which brings local and international work up North with more opportunities to gather and connect through art.
PACTcon 2026 will take place in Whitehorse, YT, located on the territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council, and hosted by Pivot Theatre (formerly known as Nakai) and the Yukon Arts Centre.
