  • Elephant Wake by Joey Tremblay Directed by Bretta Gerecke
    ELEPHANT WAKE BY JOEY TREMBLAY DIRECTED BY BREttA GERECKE “ THIS IS A MEMORABLE AND REMARKABLE PIECE OF CHARACTER DRIVEN VISUAL THEATRE WHICH YOU WILL FEEL PRIVILEGED TO HAVE EXPERIENCED.” THE STAGE, LONDON ENGLAND On the surface, this is a story of two Saskatchewan towns – Ste. Vierge, a defunct Francophone town and the prosperous nearby English town of Welby. Jean Claude, the last member of a Catholic family who remains in Ste. Vierge tells the tale of how at one time, before the Ice Age, elephants were the size of gophers. Their insignificance is what allowed them to survive. Now he contends, his own marginalized existence will allow his town, his culture, and his family to thrive. This heroic and touching script tells the story of Jean Claude’s life as he reminisces about growing up in the small town of Ste. Vierge. Seen from the eyes of a child, he recounts stories of growing up as the youngest member of a large family, his adventures as a choirboy and as a French student in an English school, in a rival town with his friends. “ JEAN CLAUDE IS AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED INDIVIDUAL WHO CELEBRATES THE JOY AND ENDURES THE PAIN.” NICK MILIOKAS, THE LEADER POST “ JEAN CLAUDE IS AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED INDIVIDUAL WHO CELEBRATES THE JOY AND ENDURES THE PAIN.” “ IT’S WEIRD BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO HAVE HIT SOME UNIVERSAL CHORD.

  • Naming the Movement: Recapitalizing Popular Theatre Alan Filewod
    Naming the Movement: Recapitalizing Popular Theatre Alan Filewod Canada on Stage: International Perspectives on Contemporary Theatre. ed. Sherril Grace and Albert Glaap. Vancouver: Talon Books and Dusseldorf: WVT, 227-244. The naming of a popular movement of radical grassroots theatre work that countered the professionalized institution of Canadian theatre in the last two decades of the 20th century has entered the historical record as positivist fact. It can be found in reference works, in numerous scholarly articles, in archival references to the Canadian Popular Theatre Alliance and its regional ancillaries, and in memoirs.1 In this consideration of the historical arc of structures, policies and practices that frames the work of politically activist theatre work in Canada since the 1970’s, my attention is drawn to the problem of “movement” as a technique of historical knowledge and a method of periodization. Theatre historians rely on coherent movements to create the narrative structures of history and at the same time accept these movements as positivist evidence of their narratives. The canon of Canadian theatre history progresses through a sequence in which the popular theatre movement follows a narrative sequence that begins with the Little Theatre movement and its antithesis, the Workers’ Theatre Movement in the 1930s, to the regional theatre movement of the 1950s and ‘60s, and the alternative theatre movement of the 1970s.2 This trope of movement implies a historically coherent mass effort, but the proposal of movements also implies a governing discourse that defines boundaries. In Canadian theatre discourse, movements are so-named from within, and scrutiny reveals that the act of naming is frequently a regulatory strategy of leadership and organization.
