Welcome to this issue of EQ, your source for all things Equity! In keeping with the season, this issue is dedicated to the idea of Council Renewal. It focuses on the efforts of your National Council, a committed group of 22 members just like you, and on the upcoming elections in the fall, which will result in a new “crop” of Councillors who will move Equity forward into its future. When I tell my colleagues and coworkers that I serve as a National Councillor I invariably get asked, “What does that mean exactly? What the heck do you do at those meetings?” Great ques- tions, and exactly the same ones I used to ask before I decided to run for Council. Even after I was elected it took some time to learn about how Council runs, what its function is, and how it relates to staff activity. Well, here’s a brief look at how your Council operates. Council’s job is to provide good governance for Equity, overseeing the resources given by the members (dues), and establishing specific uses for those resources. All of our work is guided by a number of stated goals or “Organizational Results.” The primary goal is stated this way: Equity exists to promote the professional, artistic and economic advancement of Equity members within a live performance community that is inclusive, evolving and vibrant, seeking to reflect the diverse society in which we live. So how do we accomplish this? Council uses a system called “Policy Governance Principles” to run its business. The system was created by a man named John Carver in the 1970s and is used by many commercial, non-profit, and public sector organizations to provide solid systems of guidance for their activity. There are three major components in this model: • The Owners (that’s you, the Equity members) • The Board (that’s us, your elected and appointed National Council) • The Executive (Arden R. Ryshpan, Executive Director – Council’s direct link to staff activity) This model states that Council’s job is to enact the will of the members and create policy to see that happen. Our Executive Director’s job is to implement the policies set by Council, and to be respon- sible for day-to-day operations that fulfill those policies. Council monitors staff through the Executive Director to ensure that those policies are achieving the desired results, and makes adjustments and assessments along the way. The philosophy of Policy Governance is that it is a function of service to the Owners. Again, that’s you! The more informed the Owners are on how their company works and what their policies are, the more they will get out of their company. Got an idea about what Equity should be doing? Let’s talk! Of course the details are more intricate, but that’s the basic gist of how things go around the Council table. We meet 10 times per year: seven times by teleconference for a couple of hours, and three times in person, usually in Toronto, for a two-day intensive. Our work includes discussing staff activity, overseeing committee work, fielding inquiries from members, and generally brainstorming for new ideas on how to make things better for our community. It’s always a full agenda, and we have our work cut out for us to keep this ship running smoothly! For more details on our recent activities, have a look inside. Wishing you all the very best, Scott Bellis Council President SPRING 2018 2 EQUITY QUARTERLY Notes from Arden R. Ryshpan Endings and beginnings… it seems appropriate somehow to speak of these things in the late spring when everything, including Equity’s National Council, is beginning the process of renewing itself. People often quote Winston Churchill on the nature of democracies (inaccurately, as it turns out) but here is what he actually said: “Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Consistent with democratic practices, every three years you have an opportunity to choose your representatives for the next term. And as imperfect a system as it may be, it still allows for you, the individual member, to express your wishes through the choice of your elected representative. Please keep an eye on your inbox over the coming weeks as you will begin to receive information from us pertinent to the election. Your outgoing Council always uses this issue of EQ to let you know what they have tackled during their term and what projects they will be passing along to those who come after them. Their issues and concerns are varied but they all have a deep concern for the improved welfare of the members at their heart. While we might not have accomplished all we would have liked to, I can assure you that your elected Councillors have worked hard to make the best decisions they can on your behalf. Also in this issue, we explore the emerging discipline of intimacy direction. Many people find scenes of intimacy or nudity uncomfortable to stage. At worst, they are an opportunity for members to harass one another, sometimes right on stage in the middle of a performance. Intimacy direction seeks to codify the way in which these scenes are developed and staged, providing a safe and respectful workspace for all involved. With more and more attention paid to harassment in the workplace, I am sure you will find this approach to staging these scenes extremely refreshing and a welcome tool in the kit to combat inappropriate behaviour. Let me take this opportunity to thank those Councillors who will not be returning in the next term for all of their hard work, thoughtfulness and determination to continue to find ways to improve the working lives of artists in live performance. Like those who have come before them, we always build on the achievements of our predecessors and I am confident that the new Council members will bring their own integrity and intelligence to the table. I wish all the outgoing Councillors all the very best for the rest of their professional career in Equity. In Solidarity, Arden R. Ryshpan Executive Director SPRING 2018 EQUITY QUARTERLY 3 Letters to the editor EQUITY QUARTERLY SPRING/SUMMER 2017 Not in OUR Space!

Department of English Publications. 192. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/englishpub/192 Realism and the Ethics of Risk at the Stratford Shakespeare Festivali The Duchess and her woman die There’s a story about the death of the Duchess of Malfi and her woman, Cariola, at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. In 2006, Peter Hinton, the current Artistic Director of the English company at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa and someone known for creating unique, challenging work at the Festival, directed The Duchess of Malfi on Stratford’s Tom Patterson stage; the production that emerged redefined “risk” for a classical company many scholars and popular critics have long characterized as notoriously risk-averse. Its aesthetic was Renaissance Goth, complete with eerie soundscape, low lighting, and heavily stylized costumes (including couture-like exaggerated farthingales); the show began dark (much to the chagrin of reviewers) and grew only darker. As actress Laura Condlln (Cariola) noted to me in an interview in July 2010, this was a world of utter savagery, a world in which nobody – not even audiences – could be safe. While the only previous Duchess at Stratford (in 1971, directed by Jean Gascon and starring Pat Galloway) had been characterized by a “pretty” aesthetic (Peacock, Personal interview), this one was, above all else, deeply unsettling.

FAINER 2 DIRECTOR’S NOTES COMETS IN THE SKY BY CAREY PERLOFF At the beginning of my directing career, I had the good fortune to be in rehearsal with Harold Pinter, who took me aside one day and said, “If you respond so strongly to my stuff, perhaps it’s time for you to direct Noël Coward.” It has taken thirty years for me to follow his advice, but as soon as I got into the room with Coward’s forensic language and his desperate, hilarious, love-sick characters, I understood what Pinter meant. It is often assumed that Coward’s world is a kind of brittle upper-class exercise in style, but (as is the case with Pinter) the gorgeous surface of his language belies a kind of existential and chaotic despair but hailing originally from a poor and underneath. “Expert use of language is anonymous background. So everything in to me a perpetual joy,” Coward averred; his theatrical universe is invention and role- in particular, he was a master at language playing.

Young (Philosophy) Committee member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Professor Warwick Dobson (Theatre) Supervisor Professor Emeritus Carole Miller (Curriculum and Instruction) Committee member Professor Pamela Moss (Studies in Policy and Practice) Committee member Professor James O. Young (Philosophy) Committee member In this dissertation, I advance the question of what it means for applied theatre artists to give voice to the community members with whom they work. The study engages with some of the ethical and aesthetic tensions that emerge when one group of people (artists) is entrusted with giving dramatic form to the lived experience of another group (community members). The central premise of the dissertation is that when community participants increase their independent capacity to devise dynamic and compelling theatre, they achieve greater agency. Using a grounded theory analysis, I theorize qualities and characteristics that contribute to the staging of aesthetically arresting theatre, organized into a conceptual lexicon.
