Our values are playfulness, accessibility, artistic integrity, empathy, mentorship and community Our Story Carousel Theatre for Young People (CTYP) has been creating theatre for young people since 1976. Located on Granville Island in the heart of Vancouver, CTYP is Vancouver’s professional mainstage TYA Company. We are a gathering place for artists, young people and families to embark on a journey where imagination, a dash of magic, and an abundance of play are the recipe for a theatrical adventure that has lasting impact. Our vision: to empower young people through the magic of theatre. Under the vision of Artistic Director Carole Higgins, CTYP stages vibrant stories that engage young people from the beginning of their development and continues to share stories that challenge young people through their formative years, empowering young people to become agents of positive change. Carole’s vision Stages of Play encompasses a full season that celebrates stories that explore rites of passage through our Family Stage at the Waterfront Theatre, explores Shakespeare’s canon through a contemporary lens every summer with our Teen Shakespeare Stage, and explores original Canadian creations for our BEE Stage. Young People are not simply audience members at CTYP; they are active participants at the very centre of all that we do. -
Russian Writers and the Doukhobors
RUSSIAN WRITERS AND THE DOUKHOBORS George Woodcock 0.NE DAY WHEN ι WAS TALKING to Mavor Moore about his childhood, he recollected going in his parents' house to answer a ring on the doorbell. "And there stood Princess Kropotkin." Princess Kropotkin was actually Alexandra ( Sasha), the daughter of the famous Russian anarchist and geographer, Peter Kropotkin; after her father's death near Moscow in 1921 she had migrated to the United States and lived in New York. The friendship she sustained with Mavor's mother, the actress Dora Mavor Moore, was a continuation of that which had existed since the mid-1880s between her father and James Mavor, the distin- guished Scottish Canadian political economist who was Dora's father, and whose memoir, My Windows on the Street of the World (1923), is one of the most in- teresting of Canadian autobiographies. It was a friendship that would involve a number of important Russian writers and intellectuals and that led to the coming of the Doukhobors to Canada. Kropotkin and James Mavor first met in November 1886 when Kropotkin had gone to Edinburgh to lecture on anarchism. He stayed with James Stuart Blackie, the Classical scholar and translator of Aeschylus, and among the people he met on that occasion were Patrick Geddes, Fridtjof Nansen (then a young man studying in Scotland), and James Mavor, who was then professor of political economy at St. Mungo's College in Glasgow; he would not take up his post at the University of Toronto until 1892. The meeting stayed vividly in Mavor's mind, and he wrote in his autobiography what is perhaps the best portrait we have of the anarchist prince at this time, when he was forty-two and at the height of his vigour. -
