  • Michel Tremblay Auteur
    MICHEL TREMBLAY AUTEUR NOTES BIOGRAPHIQUES Figure dominante du théâtre québécois depuis la fin des années 1960, Michel Tremblay s'est aussi imposé comme romancier, traducteur, adaptateur et scénariste. Né dans un quartier populaire de l'est de Montréal, il découvre très tôt sa vocation d'écrivain. Dès ses études secondaires, il écrit des poèmes, des pièces de théâtre, des romans. À l’adolescence, il entreprend la rédaction de contes fantastiques qu'il réunit plus tard en un recueil : Contes pour buveurs attardés. À 18 ans, il s'inscrit à l'Institut des Arts graphiques, où il apprend le métier de linotypiste, qu’il exerce de 1963 à 1966. En 1964, Michel Tremblay soumet une pièce, Le train, au concours des Jeunes auteurs de Radio-Canada : il y remporte le premier prix. La même année, il rencontre André Brassard qui deviendra le metteur en scène de presque toutes ses pièces, jusqu’en 2003. En 1965, André Brassard utilise quelques-uns des Contes pour buveurs attardés dans un spectacle consacré à la littérature fantastique : Messe noire. La même année, Michel Tremblay écrit Les belles-sœurs. Après la lecture publique des Belles-sœurs le 4 mars 1968 au Centre d’essai des auteurs dramatiques, la pièce est créée au Théâtre du Rideau Vert, le 28 août 1968. Elle connaît alors un succès retentissant, au point d’avoir fait l’objet de près de 600 productions au Québec et à l'étranger. Écrites en joual, un registre de langue propre à Montréal, Les belles-sœurs donnent une vision renouvelée du quartier ouvrier où est né Tremblay.

By definition, a Fringe Festival is a non-profit organization of performers, producers, and managers dedicated to providing local, national, and international emerging artists a non-juried opportunity to present new works to arts-friendly audiences. All Fringe Festivals are committed to a common philosophy that promotes accessible, inexpensive, and fun performing arts attendance. For the purposes of this study, qualitative research methods, supported by action research and combined with fieldwork and participant observations, will be used to investigate, describe, and document what Fringe Festivals are all about.

  • SHOW TICKETS at Or Our EXIT Theatre Mobile App! a Note from Our Founder First, Thank You, for Supporting the San Francisco Fringe Festival
    SHOW TICKETS AT www.sffringe.org or our EXIT Theatre mobile app! A note from our Founder First, Thank You, for supporting the San Francisco Fringe Festival. EXIT Theatre is very proud and grateful to have had the opportunity for the past 27 years to support indie artists in this unique way. As a CAFF member festival, the SF Fringe is an open access event where our performing companies are chosen by lottery. This sometimes surprises people but it works, and a tremendous amount of new and relevant work comes out of the SF Fringe as well as many Bay Area pro- ducing groups who are cornerstones in the indie performing arts culture. We are also proud to say that we return 100% of the ticket price to the Fringe performing companies, which means that indie artists are able to earn money to continue to create their work. So please be sure to see as many shows as possible and help indie arts thrive and survive. Of course this would not be possible without the continued support of our dedicated volunteers, staff, funders, and audience. If you’ve been to an SF Fringe before you’re already familiar with our Tip The Fringe campaign. This is one of the ways we are able to continue to keep the festival going each year, so please be generous and donate what you can. And remember the SF Fringe is just one of the many different events that are on the EXIT stages year round. Come back and be a part of this vibrant, creative and important community, and check us out through- out the year at www.theexit.org Live performance is all about the human connection, realizing we are one together.

  • The Science of Fringe Exploring: Chain Reactions
    THE SCIENCE OF FRINGE EXPLORING: CHAIN REACTIONS A SCIENCE OLYMPIAD THEMED LESSON PLAN SEASON 3 - EPISODE 3: THE PLATEAU Overview: Students will learn about chain reactions, where small changes result in additional changes, leading to a self-propagating chain of events. Grade Level: 9–12 Episode Summary: The Fringe team investigates a series of deadly accidents that they determine are being caused by complex chains of seemingly innocuous events. As they find evidence regarding who could have calculated all of the variables involved in starting the chain reactions, they themselves are setup to be the victims of one of the scenarios. Related Science Olympiad Event: Mission Possible - Prior to the competition, participants will design, build, test and document a "Rube Goldberg-like device" that completes a required Final Task using a sequence of consecutive tasks. Learning Objectives: Students will understand the following: • A chain reaction is a sequence of reactions or events where an individual reaction product or event result triggers additional reactions or events to take place. • Chain reactions are dependent upon variables such as initial conditions, timing, and energy transfer in order to propagate. • The complexity of a chain reaction can range from very little (as in the case of falling dominos) to very extreme (as in the case of cascading failures in a power grid). Episode Scenes of Relevance: • The initial chain reaction accident • Lincoln, Charlie and Olivia discussing the cause of the accident • View the above scenes: http://www.fox.com/fringe/fringe-science • © FOX/Science Olympiad, Inc./FringeTM/Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc.

  • '"There's More Than One of Everything": Navigating Fringe's Cofactual Multiverse'
    . Volume 13, Issue 1 May 2016 ‘There’s More Than One of Everything’: Navigating Fringe’s cofactual multiverse Casey J. McCormick, McGill University, Montréal, Canada Abstract: This article analyzes how viewers of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013) make sense of the series’ complex science fictional storyworld. It argues that Fringe presents multiple iterations of worlds and characters in a way that encourages ‘cofactual’ interpretation: rather than figuring parallel universes and alternate timelines as ontologically hierarchical, the narrative accommodates all versions of reality and invites viewers to participate in shaping the multiverse. The article offers a close reading of Fringe’s complex narrative structure alongside an exploration of how audiences responded to and impacted the series through fannish practices such as vidding and narrative mapping. It concludes that cofactual narration opens up an array of participatory practices that blur the text/paratext distinction and facilitate interactive storyworld building. Keywords: Complex TV, Fandom, Narrative, Paratexts, Counterfactual, Cofactual, Possible Worlds Cofactual Interpretation By the time viewers reach the series finale of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013), they have travelled across two spatially-distinct universes, three versions of the future, and at least four different timelines, with each world-iteration populated by different versions of the show’s central characters. Through its reinvigoration of science fiction tropes, such as time travel, alternate realities, and temporal resets, Fringe asks viewers to re-evaluate typical models of narrative world-building. The series constructs a multiverse comprised of what I deem cofactual diegetic worlds. I use the term ‘cofactual’ in contradistinction to the more common narrative term ‘counterfactual’ as a means of emphasizing the plurality and simultaneity of diegetic worlds in Fringe.
