INCLUSIVITY: WHOM WE SERVE
We at I.O. Acting & Creative Studio would like to acknowledge that we live and work on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka people, on the island known as Tio’tia:ke. We also recognize the hundreds of First Nation, Inuit, and Metis groups that have been stewards of this island, and we are thankful to them. We acknowledge the colonial violence done to Indigenous people, and wish to move forward with a shared sense of community and non-violence.
We provide an inclusive environment that welcomes people from the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and all other communities that support inclusivity and peace.

We also cater to professionals and students from outside Montreal via Zoom. With great pride in the diversity of our community, we have worked with folks from First Nations, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Holland, Greece, Poland, Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Iran, Kuwait, Morocco, Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, Congo, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Madagascar, Lebanon, Mexico, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Columbia, China, Japan, Tibet, Korea, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Australia, Tahiti, and more!
