2019 - 20 Celebrating 40 Years in 1979 Four Women Got Together Because They Wanted to Make Theatre celebrating 40 years NightwoodTheatre theatre for everyone made by women 2019 - 20 celebrating 40 years In 1979 four women got together because they wanted to make theatre. It seems simple but in reality the very act in itself was political. Our stages were not only dominated by male playwrights, but the new Canadian play itself was an anomaly. Now, forty years later our voices are heard across the country and around the world. It is with immense pride that we celebrate Nightwood’s legacy of propelling the voice of women on our stages, and for making such a significant contribution to the canon. In considering Nightwood’s place on the Canadian theatre landscape we must remember the shoulders we stand on and the path that has been carved by so many before us: from our founders Cynthia Grant, Kim Renders, Mary Vingoe and Maureen White who launched the dream, to Kate Lushington who succeeded as the Artistic Director in the late eighties and made it her mission to create more inclusion on our stages with the likes of Djanet Sears and Monique Mojica seeing some of their earliest work at Nightwood. We salute Artistic Directors Diane Roberts and Alisa Palmer who continued to push that conversation forward. And now, as we pen this message a new chapter unfolds again for Nightwood as the torch is passed from Kelly to Andrea, and the stage is set to build on our current success and push further the boundaries of what our theatre can mean for the next generation. NightwoodTheatre Nightwood has achieved an immense amount of growth since we were a fledgling company in the late 70s, and this resilience is a testament to all of the Administrators who steered the dream while the election balancing the budget. Let’s not forget their magnificent October 4 – 27, 2019 contribution. The rock on which Beth now stands has been built by all who came before her, as they tirelessly every day she rose searched for money to make manifest the dream. November 23 – December 8, 2019 And lest we forget the myriad of staff, volunteers and interns who have also contributed selflessly to our mission, alongside our board members, donors and the solitudes January 9 – 19, 2020 funders who have invested in the company and the voices it has raised - this success is yours as well! all the little animals i have eaten March 24 – April 12, 2020 Finally, at its very essence, theatre is the artist and their audience.

  • Queer Performance in the Post-Millennial Scramble
    QUEER PERFORMANCE IN THE POST-MILLENNIAL SCRAMBLE MOYNAN KING A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2019 © Moynan King, 2019 ii Abstract The subject of this dissertation is contemporary queer feminist performance in Canada. My practice-informed research takes a unique approach to studying performance through what I call the “queer performance scramble”—a term that draws on the multiple meanings of “scramble” to understand the aesthetics of queer performance and its challenges to stable conceptions of both identity and temporality. I investigate works that are happening now and that scramble the sticky elements of their own cultural constructions and queer temporalities. The temporal turn in queer theory supports my engagement with the effects of temporality, performativity, and history on queer performance, and, conversely, the effects of queer performance on time. I am equally interested in the formal and material dimensions of the work I study. I look to the content, style, material conditions, and social scenes of queer feminist performance from the perspective of both an academic and an artist to make accessible work that is often marginalized within Canadian cultural production ecology. Chapter 1 investigates queer feminist hauntings with an analysis of Allyson Mitchell and Deirdre Logue’s Killjoy’s Kastle: A Lesbian Feminist Haunted House. Chapter 2 argues that cabaret is the primary site for queer feminist performance in Canada, and when framed as a methodological problem/solution matrix, both the celebratory and limiting potential of the form can be explored.

  • 4X4 FESTIVAL for 30TH ANNIVERSARY 2009-2010 SEASON
    PLEASE ADD TO YOUR LISTINGS June 23, 2009 NIGHTWOOD THEATRE ANNOUNCES MILESTONE 4x4 FESTIVAL FOR 30TH ANNIVERSARY 2009-2010 SEASON Powered by: Toronto, ON … On the occasion of its 30th Anniversary, Nightwood is proud to announce a landmark celebration of Canadian women directors in the largest season ever produced by the company! At the centre is the 4x4 Festival: An Off-Road Event of Women Directors . This momentous event will showcase the talents of four of Canada’s top women directors in four productions running in November 2009. The shows, culled from the international repertoire of plays by women, represent some of the finest contemporary voices writing for the world stage. Artistic Director Kelly Thornton adds, "I wanted to take the emphasis off world premiere and playwright, and to have instead a more focused look at interpretation and the director's oeuvre." The stellar line-up of directors include dazzling independent Weyni Mengesha , Kim Collier visionary director of Vancouver's Electric Company (in the company's Toronto premiere), the ever stylish Eda Holmes , and Thornton herself. The Festival will also present a Director’s Summit (November 13-22) hosting Master Directors , Industry Panels and provocative Dialogues against the backdrop of mainstage programming. The Festival expands Nightwood’s playbill, broadens profile through creative exchange between national and international delegates and vigorously promotes the talents of emerging and established Canadian women directors. The 4x4 Festival is fuelled by numerous producing partners including the Canadian Stage Company, Obsidian Theatre, Ryerson Theatre School, Electric Company Theatre and The Virtual Stage . Stimulus for the 4x4 Festival : A national study, Equity in Canadian Theatre: The Women’s Initiative , launched by Nightwood with the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres and the Playwright's Guild of Canada, was the key motivator in spearheading this seminal event for women directors.

  • Canadian Revisionist Drama: Performing Race, Sexuality, and the Cultural Imaginary
    CANADIAN REVISIONIST DRAMA: PERFORMING RACE, SEXUALITY, AND THE CULTURAL IMAGINARY by Kailin Wright A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Kailin Wright, 2012 Canadian Revisionist Drama: Performing Race, Sexuality, and the Cultural Imaginary Kailin Wright Doctor of Philosophy Department of English, University of Toronto, 2012 Abstract My dissertation examines how Canadian revisionist plays adapt popular narratives—national histories, Greek myths, Shakespearean plays, and colonial legends—by changing the identities of marginalized characters and cultural groups. While Linda Hutcheon defines adaptation as repetition with difference, I define revisionist drama as repetition with politicized difference. It is this politicized difference that transforms the identifications of the original marginalized characters, and, as a result, changes their roles in the cultural imaginary. Canadian revisionist plays critique cultural figures such as Philomela, Othello, and Pocahontas as reductive emblems of necessarily complex, layered racial, sexual, and gendered identities. Though this dissertation concentrates on Canadian literature, it also considers European sources (Ovid, Homer, Shakespeare) as well as theories of historiography (Filewod, Salter), speech acts (Austin, Butler), audience reception (Bennett), and publics (Habermas, Warner). My project ultimately outlines a set of twelve literary and dramatic strategies that are repeatedly used to challenge popular conceptions of what it means to be Black, Aboriginal, Canadian, queer, and female. ii Revisionist adaptation is a leading form of political protest in contemporary Canadian theatre. With attention to eight playwrights—Margaret Atwood, Margaret Clarke, Marc Lescarbot, Monique Mojica, Daniel David Moses, Djanet Sears, Erin Shields, and the collective group Optative Theatrical Laboratories (OTL)—this study examines the shared methodologies of late twentieth-century revisionist dramas.

  • Mary Vingoe Opening Words
    Mary Vingoe Opening Words Celebrated director, actor, and playwright Mary Vingoe was one of two keynote speakers at the Shifting Tides: Atlantic Canadian Theatre Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow conference. The following is a revised version of her opening presentation. hen I was asked to speak here today, I asked my friend Sarah WStanley what I should talk about at this conference. Sarah is myArtisticAssociate at Magnetic North Theatre Festival and she is a director whom I like and respect. She has worked with Live Bait in New Brunswick and Artistic Fraud in Newfoundland and she’s a friend of Jest in Time. “Oh God,”she said,“there’s so much wit, and depth, and despair, and poetry, and colour, and….” “And you can’t make a living there,”I said,“period.” “No,”she said,“that part is pretty hard.” This seemed like as good a place as any to start. I first ‘left’ Nova Scotia in 1976, in the time-honoured tradi- tion of all Dalhousie theatre graduates, to come to Toronto where I had a scholarship to do graduate work at the University of Toronto. But of course, I wasn’t all that interested in doing graduate work. What I really wanted was to get to Toronto where things were happening, where Factory Theatre Lab (as it was known then), Theatre Passe Muraille, and Tarragon were all in their glorious first decade of existence. I didn’t want to be studying Canadian theatre history—I wanted to be making it. Unbeknownst to ourselves in those first Toronto years, we were actually making it.

In 2002, I co-spearheaded Equity in Canadian Theatre: the Women’s Initiative to examine the status of women in Canadian theatre. Over the last ten years Nightwood Theatre has partnered with the Playwrights Guild of Canada and the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres to continue research and advocacy for our country’s female practitioners. One of a number of disconcerting fi ndings, revealed the lack of female Artistic Directors at the country’s larger theatres. Yet another fi nding showed that those women who were Artistic Directors had better track records of hiring female playwrights and directors in their theatres. The solution seemed obvious: promote more women into AD positions across the country. But the monkey wrench, as I saw it, was that unless women had the opportunity to direct on the bigger stages they would never be considered “eligible” when those jobs came up.
