    MEDIA RELEASE WICKED is coming to Australia. The hottest musical in the world will open in Melbourne’s Regent Theatre in July 2008. With combined box office sales of $US 1/2 billion, WICKED is already one of the most successful shows in theatre history. WICKED opened on Broadway in October 2003. Since then over two and a half million people have seen WICKED in New York and just over another two million have seen the North American touring production. The smash-hit musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Academy Award-winner for Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and book by Winnie Holzman (My So Called Life, Once And Again and thirtysomething) is based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire. WICKED is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone. ‘We’re delighted that Melbourne is now set to follow WICKED productions in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, the North American tour and London’s West End,’ Marc Platt and David Stone said in a joint statement from New York. ‘Melbourne will join new productions springing up around the world over the next 16 months, and we’re absolutely sure that Aussies – and international visitors to Melbourne – will be just as enchanted by WICKED as the audiences are in America and England.’ WICKED will premiere in Tokyo in June; Stuttgart in November; Melbourne in July 2008; and Amsterdam in 2008. Winner of 15 major awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, WICKED is the untold story of the witches of Oz.

  • Than Two-Spirit: Queer Indigenous Sovereignty and Survivance In
    More Than Two-Spirit: Queer Indigenous Sovereignty and Survivance in Museums Caitlin S. Cooper A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2017 Committee: Kristine Morrissey, Chair Luana Ross Amanda Lock Swarr Qwo-Li Driskill Program authorized to offer degree: Museology © Copyright 2016 Caitlin S. Cooper Abstract The intention of this study was to identify ways museums represent Two-Spirit and queer Indigenous artists. This qualitative study included interviews with six Two-Spirit/queer Indigenous artists, using a phenomenological approach. Museums as cultural institutions built upon colonial ideals have the responsibility to amend museological authority that silence the voices of and refuse space to those that traverse intersectional identities. Two-Spirit artists examine the historical relationship of race, gender, and power as they pertain to material culture, contemporary self-expression, and art. Within this art they are Indigenizing Western academic spaces like museums, demanding accountability from institutions considered vessels of cultural knowledge. Findings suggest that curators’ willingness to listen, communicate, and engage in dialog is critical. The study also found that Two-Spirit artists’ work confronts heteronormativity by exhibiting shifts in gender roles across cultures and time and embodying the values of community organizing, storytelling, and survival. Acknowledgments I foremost want to recognize that I obtained my graduate education from the University of Washington, an institution built on the traditional lands belonging to the Coast Salish peoples of all tribes and bands within the Suquamish, Tulalip and Muckleshoot Nations. It is an honor to be a guest in this beautiful place, surrounded by the sacred knowledge and energy of your ancestors.

    ISSN 2002-3898 © Ken Nielsen and Nordic Theatre Studies DOI: https://doi.org/10.7146/nts.v25i1.110898 Published with support from Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOP-HS) Gone With the Plague: Negotiating Sexual Citizenship in Crisis Ken Nielsen ABSTRACT This article suggests that two historical performances by the Danish subcultural theatre group Buddha og Bag- bordsindianerne should be understood not simply as underground, amateur cabarets, but rather that they should be theorized as creating a critical temporality, as theorized by David Román. As such, they function to complicate the past and the present in rejecting a discourse of decency and embracing a queerer, more radical sense of citizenship. In other words, conceptualizing these performances as critical temporalities allows us not only to understand two particular theatrical performances of gay male identity and AIDS in Copenhagen in the late 1980s, but also to theorize more deeply embedded tensions between queer identities, temporality, and citizenship. Furthermore, by reading these performances and other performances like them as critical temporalities we reject the willful blindness of traditional theatre histories and make a more radical theatre history possible. Keywords: BIOGRAPHY Ken Nielsen is a Postdoctoral lecturer in the Princeton Writing Program, Princeton University, where he is currently teaching classes ranging from contemporary confession culture to tragedy. He holds a PhD in the- atre studies from The Graduate Center, City University of New York, with an emphasis on Gay and Lesbian Studies from the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS).

    (re)mapping, grounding, remembering: A Curatorial Study of Way-finding and Relationships to Place in Contemporary Indigenous Art Practice by Courtney Miller A thesis exhibition presented to OCAD University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Criticism and Curatorial Practice Graduate Gallery, OCAD University, March 7-14, 2020 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, March 2020 © Courtney Miller, 2020 ii (re)mapping, grounding, remembering A thesis exhibition by Courtney Miller Master of Fine Arts Criticism and Curatorial Practice 2020 OCAD University Abstract (re)mapping, grounding, remembering explores how the concept of (re)mapping is communicated in Indigenous contemporary artwork to demonstrate place-making methods and maintain Indigenous presence on land/landscape. (Re)mapping indicates Indigenous perceptions of and connections to ancestral land/landscape through themes of responsibility, reciprocity, place-based language, and intergenerational knowledges. This thesis project involves an exhibition featuring the artworks of Anishinaabe artist Bonnie Devine, Blackfoot/Cree artist Richelle Bear Hat, and Métis artist Katherine Boyer. Through literal, symbolic, and discursive gestures of mapping, the artists contribute to a conversation of re-writing histories, shared memories, complex and enduring relationships pertaining to homeland. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis advisor Gerald McMaster and my secondary advisor Selmin Kara for their guidance, my readers Anna Hudson and Johanna Householder, and my previous advisor Suzanne Morrissette. I also would like to thank my husband Zak, my friends, and family for their continuous support.
