The artist needs to be challenged to further innovation; stagnation is the enemy of the arts and it must be fought viciously, passionately, and without relenting.
Attollo dedicates its existence to the artist. We seek to create a mentoring relationship between the established and emerging theatre artist; further educating both parties, thereby reshaping our entire community.
We are a Calgary-based production company that is dedicated to empowering emerging artists. Our adventure started with two passionate artists colliding and discovering a mutual desire to propel the arts community to the next level. We developed Attollo Productions to educate and nurture emerging artists to make the greatest impact. Empowering emerging artists will make waves in the theatre culture of this City and beyond.
