Imagine my delight when I heard it had been transformed into a play. How would they ever put all that run- ning onstage, I wondered? Five years ago I saw the premiere production in London, England’s West End. It was such a thrill — I was transported back to the 1924 Olympics and I felt like I was there inside the excitement of the day. I am pleased that we are producing the North American premiere of this play after many years of negotiations. It is the perfect finale production for my first season here at the Grand — a play that celebrates passion, dedication, and going for the gold. Mike Bartlett, a highly respected playwright, has taken the movie and transformed it for the stage. What excites me most is how Bartlett has taken the physical energy of the story — in partic- ular, the running races — and found theatrical ways of making them come to life. This project has been a creation of epic proportions for us here at the Grand Theatre, causing us to invent new ways to use our theatre. In order to tell this story properly, we have transformed our auditorium and created a running track, invited audience members onstage, and redefined our beloved theatre in order to transport us to England, to Scotland, and finally to the to the 1924 Olympics in France.

During what the present thesis calls the “crisis of Britishness” from 1964 to 1968, the British character of Canada was redefined and Britishness portrayed as something foreign or “other.” This post-British conception of Canada has been buttressed by historians depicting the British connection as a colonial hangover, an externally-derived, narrowly ethnic, nostalgic, or retardant force. However, Britishness, as a unique amalgam of hybrid identities in the Canadian context, in fact took on new and multiple meanings.

  • The Art and Craft of University Coordination
    THE ART AND CRAFT OF UNIVERSITY COORDINATION by James Thomas Barmby A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The College of Graduate Studies (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) December 2013 © James Thomas Barmby, 2013 ii Abstract The purpose of this study is to understand the apparent acquiescence of senior officials at Alberta‟s universities to legislation that might pose a threat to their institutions‟ autonomy. In 1975 the Alberta government under the leadership of Premier Peter Lougheed attempted to introduce a mechanism for coordinating university programs in the Adult Education Act by placing Alberta‟s four universities against their will within a system of provincial public post- secondary institutions. The 1975 Act failed to receive third reading due to successful lobbying efforts, yet in 2003 Lougheed's vision was finally realized with the passage of the Post- Secondary Learning Act (PSLA), which enlisted Alberta‟s four universities without resistance as members of a provincial system that coordinates post-secondary programming. A historical analysis, this study was framed within the dimensions of Wenger‟s Communities of Practice model to analyze the interaction and trust between and among senior university and government officials in their attempts to find agreement on matters concerning the coordination of university programming. The study found that, only where there was evidence of all three dimensions of the Communities
