Table talk ranges from real estate to politics to the existential transcendence of lambs — but it’s only when the fuzzy ones start to speak that our hero really starts to listen.

  • 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.

It was the reality of imagining the tech week process underscored by fear and uncertainty, imagining set pieces and lighting instruments abandoned in the theatre, and imagining folks travelling to work that made us make the call. My phone call to Karen was my first tear-filled conversation as an AD to an artist. I couldn’t imagine her heartbreak. Deep down she knew - we all (maybe) knew - that we were holding onto impossible hope and had to let go.

While researching the "world" of the play I had the extraordinary experience of travelling to Glace Bay, Nova Scotia and subsequently exploring other parts of Cape Breton. In the midst of my look at the region and the mining industry I took some time to delve into my own family history. I discovered that my maternal grandparents had both been born not far from the setting of this wonderful play. I also realized that Margaret in the play, like my Nova Scotia born mother, was born in 1926. Sheldon Currie's novel and Wendy Lill's play took on deep personal resonances for me. In the play, the character of Neil says: "Unless you know your history and your music, you don't know that the way things are is not necessarily the way things have to be." At the center of this production is a wonderful company of actors comprised of two first year acting students, a third year student, a graduate student, and a mature student - all enrolled in the Department of Theatre.
