Means of Production is a collective of Production Managers and Technical Directors who have been working together to reexamine the way we build shows.

Means of Production is building a support network with shared resources for freelance Production Managers, Technical Directors, and related Arts Workers. We advocate for a safe, equitable, and supportive work culture rooted in creating the conditions for workers to thrive in the gig economy.

Where

Most of us live and work in and around Tkaronto, on the traditional territories of many Indigenous peoples - including the Anishnaabe, the Haudenosaunee, the Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit.

This territory is subject to the Dish with One Spoon wampum belt, which binds us to care for the land and waterways of the Great Lakes, and to share its resources peacefully.

We honour and thank the caretakers of these lands and waterways.

We are engaged in feedback and consultation from across Turtle Island, in Canada and the US, seeking perspectives from as many regions, generations, disciplines, and communities as possible.
