SaskMusic is delighted to announce the long-awaited return of a Performance Masterclass to Saskatchewan. This time, we are excited to bring renowned Artist performance coach, TEDx speaker and music artist, Luther Mallory, with his two-day masterclass and seminar Destroy the Stage in Saskatoon, March 14-15, 2026 at The Refinery (609 Dufferin Ave).
Destroy The Stage is Luther's high-energy, transformational performance coaching MasterClass for artists who want to get out of their heads and fully into the moment on stage.
Through practical, immediately usable tools - voice, movement, storytelling, audience engagement, and focus - artists learn to break patterns of overthinking and harsh self-judgment that weaken connection. The result is a more present, expressive performance with fewer fear barriers, more vulnerability, more risk-taking, and a stronger bond with the audience.

About the 2-day Masterclass
An immersive 2-day group performance coaching workshop for artists designed to help them level up to an 'export-ready', high-level show that entices buyers and connects with fan! Artists will be coached to risk more on stage by controlling overthinking and self-judgment, and honing their stage presence and audience engagement skills. They will learn how to identify, design, and rehearse impactful moments that create an unforgettable show that will connect with audiences, impress buyers, and represent their province, internationally.
Artists can also apply to be one of the demonstration artists at the MasterClass. Demo artists will work hands-on with Luther and be coached by him live in front of peers during a portion of the masterclass. This is a great opportunity to get bonus hands-on direction for your project. Artists chosen for demonstration spots will be required to use the backline gear provided (with the exception of guitars).
About the Mini-Seminar
If time is an issue, no problem! You can register to attend just the evening seminar for a condensed presentation. Gain insights into bettering your live performance approach. (Audience volunteers will be brought up on-the-spot for performance examples.)
This mini-seminar is a great opportunity for more band members to attend, if they can't make the full weekend. Bring your guitar, or sticks, if you play and are interested in volunteering as a demonstration artist.

More About Luther Mallory
Luther Mallory is an Artist Performance Coach, keynote speaker, and music artist who helps performers build magnetic stage presence by breaking the overthinking and harsh self-judgment that weaken audience connection.
"I got my start coaching Artists and Performers because I spent 10 years on tour in a band, sleeping in a van with 6 guys in the West Edmonton Mall parking lot in Canadian January. I played 1000 shows across North America, had some hit songs, and developed methods to deal with the pressure, nerves, stress, over-thinking, and obsessive judgment so I could perform at my best on stage. Then, I started teaching the methods to Sales People, Executives, High-Achievers, and generally stressed out people and it made a dramatic difference in how they performed in their careers and in their lives." - Luther Mallory
Luther is the Performance Coach for two of Canada’s most acclaimed Music Artist Development Programs - The JUNO Masterclass and CMI’s Artist Entrepreneur Programs in Toronto and Calgary. Over the last decade, Luther has coached over 1000 Artists including JUNO Award and Polaris Prize winners, major label and independent Artists of every genre, and more than 50 Artists that have since achieved 1 million+ Spotify streams.
