Opening Remarks
Opening Remarks Lawrence Adams was Amy Bowring’s revered mentor; his example has guided and encouraged her to tackle, with determination and purpose, assorted pursuits in dance. As Research Co-ordinator at Dance Collection Danse, Amy has been working with the organization, on contract, for five years. Many of you may know Amy through some of the projects in which she has been involved, and also as founder of the Society for Canadian Dance Studies which can boast a solid and active membership under her direction. First introduced to Dance Collection Danse in 1993 as a student undertaking research through York University’s dance programme, Amy’s passion for dance history triggered her interest in becoming seriously involved with DCD. After completing her BA in Fine Arts, Amy earned an MA in journalism from the University of Western Ontario. She is copy editor for The Dance Current magazine, has written various dance articles and encyclo- pedia entries, and is researching and writing a book on the 1948-1954 Canadian Ballet Festival phenomenon. And, to add more ingredients to the mix, she is a whiz at the computer! As Dance Collection Danse undergoes its planning process for upcoming and future activities, you can expect to see Amy’s involvement with DCD increase. To work with someone who is dedicated and skilled is a blessing, but to have someone on board who is also mindful and gracious is the best. The Editoral Committee and Board of Directors of Dance Collection Danse have dedicated this issue to Lawrence Adams, whose contribution to Canadian dance makes him deserving of ..

Un Studio En L'honneur De Fernand Nault
Communiqué de presse Pour diffusion immédiate Un studio en l’honneur de Fernand Nault Montréal, le 13 février 2012 — L’École supérieure de ballet du Québec salue l’héritage de Fernand Nault, pionnier de la danse au Québec, et rebaptisera un studio de danse en son honneur le 13 mars prochain. Celui qui a chorégraphié le fameux Casse-Noisette que présentent les Grands Ballets Canadiens à l’approche de Noël, tous les ans depuis 1964, a travaillé avec plusieurs générations de danseurs. Il a également fait sa marque à l’École supérieure, où il a notamment été directeur de 1974 à 1976. « J’ai eu la chance de côtoyer cet artiste généreux, d’une grande ouverture, raconte Anik Bissonnette, maintenant directrice artistique de l’École supérieure de ballet du Québec. Lorsque je reprenais un rôle dans l’un de ses ballets, il me donnait l’impression qu’il le créait de nouveau, spécialement pour moi. » Le studio Fernand-Nault sera décoré avec des photographies d’archives retraçant le parcours du danseur, du maître de ballet et du chorégraphe qu’il a été. « Nous souhaitons préserver le passé pour mieux construire l’avenir. Nous sommes persuadés que cette figure inspirante encouragera nos élèves à poursuivre leur rêve de devenir danseur professionnel », affirme Alix Laurent, directeur général de l’École supérieure de ballet du Québec. « Il a toujours traité les jeunes comme des danseurs professionnels, et je pense que c’est pour cela que les jeunes l’aimaient autant », dit André Laprise, fiduciaire du Fonds chorégraphique Fernand Nault, partenaire de cette commémoration.

Drawing on the existing literature,-a framework of analysis was created comprised of four categories: 1) language; 2) visual representation; 3) positioning and; 4) critical analysis of content. Each of these categories was further broken into a series of related subcategories in order to examine in depth and detail, the portrayal of women in these two textbooks.

Situated in the heart of the nation's capital across Confederation Square from Parliament Hill, the National Arts Centre is among the largest performing arts complexes in Canada. It is unique as the only multidisciplinary, bilingual performing arts centre in North America and features one of the largest stages on the continent.
