Cultural policy on dance offers insight into the nature of Canadian identity from 1967 to 1983. This dissertation uses dance as a lens to examine communities within the nation. Five choreographic works from the period are analyzed and represent Canadian western theatrical dance: Rose Latulippe (Macdonald), Baroque Suite (Earle), "The Brick Series" (Adams), Marie Chien Noir (Chouinard) and Joe (Perreault). This dissertation also uses cultural policy as a vehicle to analyze the State from the Centennial of Confederation to the publication of the Applebaum-Hebert Report. Writings by Leslie Armour, R. Bruce Elder, Alan Filewod, Northrop Frye, B.W. Powe, Grant Strate and Pierre Trudeau inform the research. Ultimately, the relationships between individual artists, the dance community and the State illustrate the complex development of Canadian choreography. My research is driven by a desire to first, fill some of the gaps in the literature on Canadian dance, and second, examine dance through cultural policy. This dissertation begins in 1951 with the Massey Report, but primarily focuses on the period from 1967 to 1983 including the "dance boom era." This research is an important contribution to the field because it compares the development of Canadian dance to theatre, literature, visual art, music and film from 1967 to 1983, to place it within a broader context. This dissertation argues that Canadian choreography embodies the dialectic of the traditional iii and the contemporary, of the Francophone and Anglophone, and of the individual and community. Acknowledgements First I want to recognize my committee members, Elizabeth Trott, Christopher Innes and R. Bruce Elder. Their questions, especially comparing dance to other disciplines, made this dissertation stronger and more relevant. It was a pleasure to work with them and I am grateful for their input. In particular, I want to thank my primary advisor R. Bruce Elder for his constant support. In addition to my committee, I would like to recognize my colleagues at Ryerson's Theatre School, especially Nadia Potts and Sholem Dolgoy. Nadia constantly offered words of encouragement and helpful suggestions. Sholem was a wealth of knowledge and expressed keen interest in obscure documents from the Canada Council's past. My teaching at the Theatre School fed this research, and I would like to also acknowledge the inspiration my students provided during the past four years. Several archives and libraries were consulted for this research including: CBC Archives, Bibliotheque de la danse, Toronto Reference Library (Performing Arts Division), Toronto Dance Theatre and School of Toronto Dance Theatre, National Ballet of Canada Archives, York University - Scott Library Archives, Canada Council for the Arts Archives, Ryerson University Library, and Dance Collection Danse. I am grateful to the numerous archivists and librarians who helped me find these primary sources. I would like to single out Dance Collection Danse, Canada's dance publisher and archives in Toronto. Miriam Adams, Amy Bowring and Seika Boye were incredibly helpful and contributed enormously to this research. The hours I spent in the 'pink house' were some of the most enjoyable of this research. The first draft of this dissertation was read by my dear friend Nadine Saxton. She was instrumental in making this document flow; her suggestions helped me frame the work. My husband, Tal Schacham, valiantly read the second draft and asked important questions about context and politics. They both went above and beyond the call of duty. I will spend a lifetime thanking Nadine and Tal for their hours of patient work on this labour of love. My entire family has always supported my writing and research. To the Schachams, thank you for understanding my constant need to write. Many thanks to Mom and Dad who didn't think I was crazy when I said I want to go back to school again, and eagerly read this entire dissertation. I am grateful to Grandma Mona, the first writer in the family, and Grandma Betty who repeatedly encouraged her grandchildren by saying "we need another doctor in the family." Finally, I want to acknowledge my inspiration, my daughter Eowyn.

The five Commissioners, led by University of Toronto Chancellor Vincent Massey, traveled the country from 1949 to 1951 searching for "national tradition[s] in the making"2 for the arts, culture and education in Canada. The resulting Massey Report described the ongoing activities of several disciplines, including theatre, music and ballet, and made recommendations about how to protect Canadian culture for the future: "The authors [of the Massey Report] saw the health of our spiritual lives as essential to our vitality and uniqueness as a nation, to our stature in the eyes of other countries, and to the unity of Canada itself."3 Their primary recommendation was for the creation of an independent funding body to support the arts. In 1957, an act of Parliament created such a funding body, the Canada Council4, an autonomous arm's length5 agency of the federal government. 1 In this dissertation, the published findings of the Royal Commission are called the Massey Report, in order to distinguish it from the Commission itself.

  • Opening Remarks
    Opening Remarks Lawrence Adams was Amy Bowring’s revered mentor; his example has guided and encouraged her to tackle, with determination and purpose, assorted pursuits in dance. As Research Co-ordinator at Dance Collection Danse, Amy has been working with the organization, on contract, for five years. Many of you may know Amy through some of the projects in which she has been involved, and also as founder of the Society for Canadian Dance Studies which can boast a solid and active membership under her direction. First introduced to Dance Collection Danse in 1993 as a student undertaking research through York University’s dance programme, Amy’s passion for dance history triggered her interest in becoming seriously involved with DCD. After completing her BA in Fine Arts, Amy earned an MA in journalism from the University of Western Ontario. She is copy editor for The Dance Current magazine, has written various dance articles and encyclo- pedia entries, and is researching and writing a book on the 1948-1954 Canadian Ballet Festival phenomenon. And, to add more ingredients to the mix, she is a whiz at the computer! As Dance Collection Danse undergoes its planning process for upcoming and future activities, you can expect to see Amy’s involvement with DCD increase. To work with someone who is dedicated and skilled is a blessing, but to have someone on board who is also mindful and gracious is the best. The Editoral Committee and Board of Directors of Dance Collection Danse have dedicated this issue to Lawrence Adams, whose contribution to Canadian dance makes him deserving of ..

  • Un Studio En L'honneur De Fernand Nault
    Communiqué de presse Pour diffusion immédiate Un studio en l’honneur de Fernand Nault Montréal, le 13 février 2012 — L’École supérieure de ballet du Québec salue l’héritage de Fernand Nault, pionnier de la danse au Québec, et rebaptisera un studio de danse en son honneur le 13 mars prochain. Celui qui a chorégraphié le fameux Casse-Noisette que présentent les Grands Ballets Canadiens à l’approche de Noël, tous les ans depuis 1964, a travaillé avec plusieurs générations de danseurs. Il a également fait sa marque à l’École supérieure, où il a notamment été directeur de 1974 à 1976. « J’ai eu la chance de côtoyer cet artiste généreux, d’une grande ouverture, raconte Anik Bissonnette, maintenant directrice artistique de l’École supérieure de ballet du Québec. Lorsque je reprenais un rôle dans l’un de ses ballets, il me donnait l’impression qu’il le créait de nouveau, spécialement pour moi. » Le studio Fernand-Nault sera décoré avec des photographies d’archives retraçant le parcours du danseur, du maître de ballet et du chorégraphe qu’il a été. « Nous souhaitons préserver le passé pour mieux construire l’avenir. Nous sommes persuadés que cette figure inspirante encouragera nos élèves à poursuivre leur rêve de devenir danseur professionnel », affirme Alix Laurent, directeur général de l’École supérieure de ballet du Québec. « Il a toujours traité les jeunes comme des danseurs professionnels, et je pense que c’est pour cela que les jeunes l’aimaient autant », dit André Laprise, fiduciaire du Fonds chorégraphique Fernand Nault, partenaire de cette commémoration.

Drawing on the existing literature,-a framework of analysis was created comprised of four categories: 1) language; 2) visual representation; 3) positioning and; 4) critical analysis of content. Each of these categories was further broken into a series of related subcategories in order to examine in depth and detail, the portrayal of women in these two textbooks.

Pearson as the principal centennial project of the federal government. Built in the shape of a hexagon, the design became the architectural leitmotif for Canada's premier performing arts centre. Situated in the heart of the nation's capital across Confederation Square from Parliament Hill, the National Arts Centre is among the largest performing arts complexes in Canada. It is unique as the only multidisciplinary, bilingual performing arts centre in North America and features one of the largest stages on the continent. Designed by Fred Lebensold (ARCOP Design), one of North America's foremost theatre designers, the building was widely praised as a twentieth century architectural landmark.

  • 2 Peaking with Verbal and Emotional Refinement, Gentle Calm, and A
    ( peaking with verbal and emotionalrefinement, gentle calm, and a modesty that nevertheless does not conceal great inner aepth, Fernand Nault tells the story ofh1s life. In his narrative,the events follow from one another, naturally and smoothly. They seem almost to arise by chance. But make no mistake: a career this exceptional cannot be the result of pure coincidence. A tremendouspassion, to which he has always been totally receptive, has made possible what initially seemed to be impossible, to belong in the realm of dreams. The Quebec of the 1930s, and the rest of Canada, for that matter, was a wasteland as far as ballet was concerned. There was no professional company anywhere, few touring companies, a mere handful of ballet schools, and a deep-rooted prejudice against dancers. Moreover, dance in general was the su6ject of a religious prohibition. How, in such surroundings, could a teenager from a poor family in Montreal1s Hochelaga-Maisonneuve districtdevelop such a taste for dancing that he wanted to make it his career? "I was strongly influenced by my grandmother. She loved social dancing and did a lot of it, even at tfie expense of her reputation. I also haa a fondness for the theatre:putting on a make-believe mass was theatre to me !'1 A French film, V etoi1e de Valencia, in which Birgit Helm danced a tango, was the trigger.It was love at first sight. While he could afford five cents to go to the movies, young Fernand did not have the means to pay for dancing lessons. Then he met Raoul Leblanc, a flower seller at the Hochefaga-Maisonneuve market, and a tap dancer.
