FOOT is the annual conference held by the Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Toronto. The theme of FOOT changes every year, according to the research interests of the new artistic director and organizers of the conference, but its main yearly goal is to provide graduate students and the performing arts community an academic outlet to showcase, critique, review, perform, discuss, and analyze the changing world of drama, theatre and performance. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many students and faculty who have helped make this conference possible by generously volunteering their time, efforts, and expertise toward the shaping of this event. Their work is evident in every aspect of the conference: in the exciting paper panels, workshops, performances, and special presentations that fill this schedule. With your help, we have been able to build a jam-packed and lively day-and-a-half of programming which speaks to the continued need for conversations around the ebb and flow of embodiment theories and practices in the performing arts. We sincerely look forward to chatting with all of you over the duration of the conference and learning more about your exciting research and creative projects which are molding the future direction of our industry. Please remember to join us on the evening of Thursday, February 27 at the Robert Gill Theatre for our Opening Remarks and a highly anticipated Keynote Lecture by Dr. Rebecca Schneider (Brown University), followed by a catered reception to celebrate this opportunity to connect over our shared interests. Thank you so much for your interest in BODIES IN FLUX: FOOT 2020. See you there! Warmly, Caitlin Gowans, Giorelle Diokno, Elif Işıközlü, Anna Paliy The FOOT 2020 Organizational Team 4 ABOUT THE CONFERENCE 1. OUR HISTORY: PAST ITERATIONS FOOT celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2017 with the theme Sounding the Inner Ear of Performance, an interdisciplinary exploration of the history and evolution of sound and aurality in theatrical and performative cultures. Two years ago, FOOT 2018: Supporting Bodies / Changing Minds explored the inquiry: “How can drama, theatre and performance studies contribute to a barrier-free society?” The organizing team made accessibility and accommodations a central concern of the conference, an approach we aim to carry forward with us during this and future festivals. Last year, FOOT 2019 titled the conference Equity and Diversity in Performance, and asked the question: What is the changing relationship of drama, theatre, and performance to practices which centralize equity through intersectionality? See some past iterations of FOOT here: FOOT 2019: Equity and Diversity in Performance: https://foot2019.wordpress.com/ FOOT 2018: Supporting Bodies/Changing Minds: https://uoftfoot2018.wordpress.com/ FOOT 2017: Sounding the Inner Ear of Performance: https://foot2017.wordpress.com/ FOOT 2016: Staging Realities: https://2016foot.wordpress.com/ FOOT 2015: Queer(ing) Performance on Stage and in Everyday Life: https://foot2015.wordpress.com/ FOOT 2014: Breaking the Body’s Boundaries: https://foot2014.wordpress.com/ FOOT 2013: Theatre & Technology: https://foot2013.wordpress.com/ FOOT 2012: Theatre & Learning: https://foot2012.wordpress.com/ 5 2. THIS YEAR’S THEME BODIES IN FLUX: FOOT 2020 seeks to address the following questions: How do we theorize bodies as a process: as a performance as well as a performer? How are bodies created and transformed through performances: through perceptions, receptions, and theorizations of them? We intend for bodies in the above question to be figured broadly. With advances in AI, multimedia, and digitization in performance it is increasingly becoming necessary to reevaluate how we perceive and understand both liveness and human-ness on stage. We are encountering new ways in which bodies are formed, transform, and perform on stage. In addition to the focus on live human bodies on stage in studies of drama, theatre, and performance, we also apply the term “bodies” to bodies of text, governing bodies, bodies of knowledge, etc. Additionally, popular theories and bodies of thought available to us are given the prefix “post” such as postmodern, postcolonial, postfeminist, posthuman. This conference will create a space in which we pause to consider how we have arrived in these theoretical milieus (if indeed we have). This conference will be an event in which scholars and practitioners who address the body in its many varied conceptions in research, artistic investigations, and other enquiries share their methods and findings with each other to uncover common ground as well as telling differences. The possibilities for being in and being as human bodies are radically changing in social, political, geographic, philosophical, and technological ways (to name only a few). This conference will provide the opportunity to pause in the midst of this flux to take stock of the ways in which we account for transforming corporealities in theory and in practice. The Festival of Original Theatre (FOOT) began as a graduate student-led initiative to showcase dramatic works. The conference has since grown to include not only performances but academic papers, panels, workshops, and working groups. FOOT welcomes both artistic and scholarly submissions of any type. These may take the form of performances, scholarly papers, workshops, working groups, studio working groups, pre-curated panels, roundtables, staged readings, works of art, installations, and any creative or embodied exploration of the annual theme. In the case of performances, we encourage submissions of low or no tech pieces. 6 This year, our call for proposals stated that possible topics might include but are certainly not limited to: • Bodies in performance and on stage • Bodies of text and bodies of knowledge and the ways in which they shift over time • Altern or othered bodies • Bodied and embodied work • AI and technology in performance • Augmented bodies in performance • Sexed and gendered bodies • Racialized bodies • Enhanced bodies • Post theories • Posthuman and transhuman bodies • Bodies in transit – migrating, traveling, or itinerant bodies • Cyborg or hybrid bodies • Trans* and queer concerns related to the study of bodies 7 ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS Hi everyone! We are the BODIES IN FLUX team, and we are very excited to bring FOOT 2020 to you this upcoming February. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!

  • BULLETIN HEBDOMADAIRE 8 Mai 2020
    BULLETIN HEBDOMADAIRE 8 mai 2020 En février 2020, nous nous sommes mis à l’écoute du frère Marie-Victorin, l’intellectuel de combat; ce mois de mai nous conduit sur les traces du botaniste, à l’écoute de la nature. La floraison dorée des forsythias illumine les rues et les jardins de Côte-des-Neiges. C’est le signe que les premières fleurs sauvages commencent à éclore dans les sous-bois qui entourent l’Oratoire. L’érythrone d’Amérique est la première plante qu’identifia le frère Marie-Victorin, à 18 ans, à Saint-Jérôme. Sa découverte a été racontée par Robert Rumilly : « Il s’évertue, assis sur une pierre dans l’érablière du Collège, le livre [la Flore canadienne de Léon Provancher] ouvert sur les genoux. Vient à passer un habitant, France Bastien, la hache sur l'épaule : – Qu'est-ce que vous cherchez, mon Frère ? – Le nom de cet herbage à fleur jaune. Comment, vous connaissez pas ça ! Bénite ! C'est l'Ail-douce, mon Frère, c'est l'Ail-douce. France Bastien s'éloigne en concluant que ce jeune Frère, c'est peut-être un bon religieux, mais qu'il n'est pas bien connaissant dans les racines. Le Frère Victorin court à la table des matières. “Ail doux” le renvoie à “Érythrone d'Amérique”[…] : “Bulbe de grosseur moyenne, profondément enfoncé dans le sol. Hampe nue, tendre, de 3 à 6 pouces de hauteur... Fleur pendante jaune, à segments oblongs...” C'est bien cela. Provancher ajoute ce court et gracieux commentaire : “Charmante petite fleur de nos bois, qui est la première à se montrer au printemps...” Le Frère Victorin est confus de son ignorance et ravi de sa découverte.

    FILM RESOURCE KIT 1991 PLOT SYNOPSIS p1 BIOGRAPHIES p3 FUN FACTS p5 INSIGHTS FROM THE FILMMAKERS p5 AWARDS p5 ONLINE RESOURCES p6 PLOT SYNOPSIS The film starts by telling the story of how the protagonist’s grandparents met and fell in love in Italy. His grandfather had won over his grandmother with a pot of his delicious mushroom risotto. Narrator/protagonist Ricardo Trogi, a 21-year old screenwriting student from Québec, is convinced that Marie-Ève Bernard is the “woman of his life”. She signs up to go on an exchange program to Perugia, Italy to learn Italian and asks him to come along. It appears as though they are dating, but it’s unclear how seriously she regards the relationship. Ricardo decides he wants to go, if only to prove his love for Marie-Ève, so he brings it up to his parent. They question his ability to fund such a trip on a student’s budget. He convinces them he won’t rely on them for any money, so they allow him to go. His sister notices he has a growing bald spot on the back of his head, which causes him great anxiety. His mother insists he carry all his valuable documents, money, and belongings in a grey fanny pack. During his stopover in France, he sees an ad for anti-balding hair spray which he purchases and puts in his ever-expanding fanny pack before urgently getting on a train to Italy. On a wine-fueled train ride to Milan, he encounters a carefree but odd travelling musician about his age named Arturo, coming from Brussels.
