  • Queer(Y)Ing Quaintness: Destabilizing Atlantic Canadian Identity Through Its Theatre
    QUEER(Y)ING QUAINTNESS: DESTABILIZING ATLANTIC CANADIAN IDENTITY THROUGH ITS THEATRE LUKE BROWN Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in Theatre Theory & Dramaturgy Department of Theatre Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Ottawa © Luke Brown, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 Brown ii Abstract The Atlantic Canadian provinces (Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia) have long been associated with agricultural romanticism. Economically and culturally entrenched in a stereotype of quaintness (Anne of Green Gables is just one of many examples), the region continuously falls into a cycle of inferiority. In this thesis, I argue that queer theory can be infused into performance analysis to better situate local theatre practice as a site of mobilization. Using terms and concepts from queer geographers and other scholars, particularly those who address capitalism (Gibson-Graham, Massey), this research outlines a methodology of performance analysis that looks through a queer lens in order to destabilize normative assumptions about Atlantic Canada. Three contemporary performances are studied in detail: Christian Barry, Ben Caplan, and Hannah Moscovitch's Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story, Ryan Griffith's The Boat, and Xavier Gould‘s digital personality ―Jass-Sainte Bourque‖. Combining Ric Knowles' "dramaturgy of the perverse" (The Theatre of Form 1999) with Sara Ahmed's "queer phenomenology" (Queer Phenomenology 2006) allows for a thorough queer analysis of these three performances. I argue that such an approach positions new Atlantic Canadian performances and dramaturgies as sites of aesthetic and semantic disorientation. Building on Jill Dolan's "utopian performatives" (Utopia in Performance 2005), wherein the audiences experience a collective "lifting above" of normative dramaturgical structures, my use of "queer phenomenology" fosters a plurality of unique perspectives.

  • Island-Wide Celebrations for National Acadian Day 2016 to Take Place August 12Th-15Th Weekend; Souris to Host
    Press Release For Immediate Publication Island-wide Celebrations for National Acadian Day 2016 to take Place August 12th-15th Weekend; Souris to Host SUMMERSIDE (P.E.I.) – Friday, August 8th, 2016 – The president of la Société Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin (SSTA), Guy Labonté, invites one and all to join the Acadian and francophone community of P.E.I. in celebrating National Acadian Day activities which will take place all across the Island on the weekend of August 12th-15th. The SSTA wishes a wonderful National Acadian Day to all! In 1881, at the first Convention of the Acadians, it was decided that August 15th would thereafter be observed as National Acadian Day. This day was chosen for many reasons, namely because as a distinct people, Acadians deserve to have a day of recognition; the later summer date does not conflict with seed-sowing commitments; and it coincides with the Assumption of Mary, patron saint of Acadians. Souris, this year’s host Region – provincial celebrations – Saturday, August 13th to Sunday, August 14th : La Société Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin, in collaboration with le Comité Acadien et Francophone de l'Est, invites the public to a number of free activities in the name of National Acadian Day and le Festival Acadien from August 13th to 14th. Saturday, August 13th, there will be a traditional Kitchen Party from 6 to 9 p.m. Cover is $5 per person and includes access to concerts featuring Island musicians Anastasia DesRoches, Mylène Ouellette, JJ Chaisson & Les étoiles de l'Est. There will also be traditional Acadian dishes such as fricot (Acadian chicken soup) and an Acadian roll.

    Raising the Bar: The Reciprocal Roles and Deviant Distinctions of Music and Alcohol in Acadiana by © Marion MacLeod A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Ethnomusicology Memorial University of Newfoundland June, 2013 St. John 's, Newfoundland ABSTRACT The role of alcohol in musical settings is regularly relegated to that of incidental by­ stander, but its pervasive presence as object, symbol or subject matter in Acadian and Cajun performance contexts highlights its constructive capacity in the formation of Acadian and Cajun musical worlds. Individual and collective attitudes towards alcohol consumption implicate a wide number of cultural domains which, in this work, include religious display, linguistic development, respect for social conventions, and the historically-situated construction of identities. This research uses alcohol as an interpretive lens for ethnomusicological understanding and, in so doing, questions the binaries of marginal and mainstream, normal and deviant, sacred and profane, traditional and contemporary, sober and inebriated. Attitudes towards alcohol are informed by, and reflected in, all ofthese cultural conflicts, highlighting how agitated such categorizations can be in lived culture. Throughout the dissertation, I combine the historical examples of HatTy Choates and Cy aMateur with ethnographic examinations of culturally-distinct perfonnative habits, attitudes toward Catholicism, and compositional qualities. Compiling often incongruous combinations of discursive descriptions and enacted displays, my research suggests that opposition actually confirms interdependence. Central to this study is an assertion that levels of cultural competence in Cajun Louisiana and Acadian Nova Scotia are uneven and that the repercussions of this unevenness are musically and behaviourally demonstrated.

    New Brunswick’s Acadian Coast Offers Specialty Whiskey, Seaside Glamping, and Colorful Festivals Take a Ride Through a Region Full of Rich History and New Culinary Experiences Festival Acadien de Caraquet 2016 in Caraquet, New Brunswick NEW BRUNSWICK (February 28, 2019) – The Acadian people, descendants of the original French settlers occupying the northeastern region of North America, have called New Brunswick home since the 1600s. The Acadian Coast spans nearly 250 miles along the eastern seaboard of the province, with the Acadian Peninsula jutting into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. English and French are both spoken in New Brunswick, Canada’s only bilingual province, and its Acadian heritage offers rich cultural experiences all along the coast. National Acadian Day is honored every August 15, and in 2019 travelers can celebrate in Dieppe, New Brunswick with the World Acadian Congress, an international festival that has taken place for 25 years. The festival invites travelers to discover Acadian music, cuisine, and traditions for the entire month of August with events and workshops leading up to the great parade of Tintamarre on National Acadian Day. During the parade, visitors will march through the community with improvised instruments and noisemakers to demonstrate the vitality of Acadian society. Afterwards, an outdoor concert will take place, featuring traditional music by emerging and established artists. New experiences on the Acadian Coast in 2019 include: Seaside Cielo Glamping A place to reconnect with nature, the Cielo Glamping Maritime is a new four-season resort in Haut-Shippagan, offering five all-equipped glamping domes. The domes are located in the heart of the Acadian Peninsula, and visitors can watch the sun set over the sea each night.
