This is my fascination with masks and the costumes of who we are. I am the haute couturier, dressing the stars. I am the poet who sits in his underwear in the sweatshop of summer stitching together a wordrobe that I wear to my wordpremiere. interview * * * I first met Endre Farkas in April 2011, when he was touring Hungary and giving — readings together with poet Carolyn Marie Souaid in Budapest, Szeged, Debrecen and entretien Siófok. The poetry reading at the National Library of Foreign Literature in Budapest was more like a performance: they enacted excerpts of the video poem Blood is Blood, winner of the Berlin International Poetry Film Festival in the subsequent year. Dialogue, acting out conflicts, and saying the unsayable seem to be indispensable features of this poem. Breathing, rhythmic utterance, movement and gestures transformed print on the page into a choreography of words. EZ Performance poetry or sound poetry has always been important for you. How do you see the transition from page to stage? EF You have to remember that poetry originally was an oral art. So in a sense poetry first moved from stage to page. In prewriting times people would gather to hear the poet/storyteller. Later s/he would be accompanied by some form of music and, who knows, maybe even movement/dance. The late nineteen sixties and early seventies were times of great change. Poetry was experiencing an escape from the universities where it was confined to the page. It was there that poems were being dissected to death. Young people wanted something more, a lively and relevant experience with poetry. Folk singers like Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen et al were combining poetic lyrics with music. Words in songs were important, relevant, mysterious and marvellous. I saw what I started doing in the seventies as moving poetry back to its oral/stage origins. I was influenced by some of the readings I attended. Most of them were boring. Poets, usually, not the best readers, mumbled, bumbled their way through poems that were meant for a one to one private relationship (reader and poem). At the same time, I was also hearing poets like Allan Ginsberg and Ann Waldman (American beat poets) who sang, wailed and howled. I knew of poets teaming up with jazz musicians. Their poems were lively and performative. Canadian poets bill bissett and the Four Horsemen, sound poets/Dadaists, were chanting and performing.

I joined Véhicule Art gallery, an alternative art gallery run by young artists who created exhibitions that included performances, instillations and modern dance. I was drawn toward the dance, especially Contact Improvisation. My early off-the-page-onto-the-stage works were concrete poems.

  • No Quiet Revolution: Studies in the Sonic History of Montréal, 1965
    No Quiet Revolution: Studies in the Sonic History of Montréal, 1965-1975 By S. D. Jowett A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September 2014 © S. D. Jowett, 2014 No Quiet Revolution: Studies in the Sonic History of Montréal 1965-1975 Abstract: Listening for sound and noise in Montréal during the late 1960s and early 1970s, this dissertation adds a sonic perspective to historical understanding of the later years of Québec’s “Quiet Revolution.” Guided by aurality rather than visuality, and arguing implicitly for the inclusion of sound in historical methodology, this project puts noise and silence – both literal and figurative – at the centre of the question: What does it mean to call the great transformation of Québec from 1965 to 1975 a “Quiet Revolution”? Exploring the auditory atmosphere of what was a cacophonous and dissonant decade, this thesis analyses Montréal’s urban soundscape, music, language, and acts of silencing. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the work is informed by theories culled from existing works on sense history, sound studies, and Québec and Canadian historiography. Via the practice of “agile listening,” the dissertation seeks to re-create a sense of Montréal’s sonic environment between 1965 and 1975. ii Acknowledgements Someone once told me that writing a PhD dissertation is a lot like running a marathon: it is a long, plodding, tiring and painful exercise. Sometimes the route is not very well marked, and there is no crowd on the sidelines to cheer on the athletes.

  • A History of Film Policy and Production in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1933-1997
    Dissenting Shadows: A History of Film Policy and Production in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1933-1997 by Mark David Turner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Mark David Turner 2014 Dissenting Shadows: A History of Film Policy and Production in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1933-1997 Mark David Turner Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the development of film policy and production in Newfoundland and Labrador between the vote to suspend Representative Government in the Dominion of Newfoundland in 1933 and the establishment of the Newfoundland and Labrador Film Development Corporation in the province of Newfoundland in 1997. Both the Commission of Government, established by Britain in 1934, and the Provincial Government, established upon Canadian Confederation in 1949, attempted to use film to rehabilitate what was widely understood to be abject space, rendered so by its malfunctioning political and economic systems. With the development of these systems under the auspices of the Canadian state, a range of filmmakers began to use the medium to interrogate, challenge, and at times actively contravene both those corrective representations that had come before as well as the modes of governance they espoused. Part one considers the development of film policy and production on the Island of Newfoundland, the seat of both the Dominion and Provincial Governments. Beginning with a reading of the Commission of Government’s general mandate, this section traces the manners in which that mandate came to bear upon the development of film exhibition policy as it was articulated by the Department of Education and how, in turn, that ii exhibition policy came to affect the film production practices by agents of institutional and local culture.
