He was talking about "50/50," a new theatre group he has founded in collabora­ tion with educational psychologist George Mager, a professor at McGill and an adjuct professor at Concordia. Their relationship began in late August 1988, just a month after Warren arrived at Concordia, when the two friends began talk­ ing about creating an institute for training in the performing arts which would be "both an opportunity for enabling persons with a dis­ ability to train in theatre and for those people without a disability to have an under­ standing of how one works with disabled people in a theatrical confext." The method would use reciprocal peer learning where teacher and student reverse roles constantly. In late October 1988, they decided to start "55/50" rehearsals by the following January with a script that they had been working on. "Auditions were held in December during the exam period ... not the best time.
