Land Acknowledgement WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY IS SITUATED ON THE TRADITIONAL LANDS OF THE ANISHNAABE PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE ODAWA, OJIBWE AND POTAWATOMI NATIONS, COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS THE THREE FIRES CONFEDERACY. TODAY, THIS MEETING PLACE IS STILL THE HOME TO MANY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE FROM ACROSS TURTLE ISLAND AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ON THIS LAND. WWW.TIFT.CA | 705-792-1949 Chair's Greeting On behalf of the Board of Directors, welcome to a collection of works that celebrate individual’s stories, cultures, and identities for The Plural of She Festival. What an honour and joy it is to play host to such an eclectic gathering of artists right here in the backyards of our beautiful city. We are thrilled to continue bringing unique theatrical experiences to the people of Simcoe County in a variety of intimately-sized venues for an unforgettable performance. These individuals have created pieces that and are both entertaining while teeming with profound significance. The Plural of She Festival is an adventurous and timely addition to the company’s diverse production history that exists thanks to the unstoppable guidance of Artistic Producer Arkady Spivak. A special thanks goes to the festival curator, the immensely talented Maja Ardal. We must also acknowledge the hard work of Production Manager Jeff Braunstein, our unflappable administrator Cara McRae, the ever-imaginative Director of Outreach Richard Varty, and our wonderful YouthDome Co- Ordinator Ziigwen Mixemong. In addition, we are so grateful to the various levels of government sponsorships, and to the generosity of the individuals who donated their backyards for hosting this festival. To our many dedicated volunteers, including our Board of Directors, we owe our deepest thanks to their ongoing support. Finally, we reserve our deepest thanks to all our loyal patrons for adapting with us as we bring these vital stories to life in unconventional and unforgettable ways. Welcome! Kathryn Talbot Chair – Talk Is Free Theatre WWW.TIFT.CA | 705-792-1949 Artistic Producer's Greeting Dear Patrons, This collection of unique works represent just a few of the voices that deserve to be heard and hopefully start a much needed conversation. The arts and the country are built on the foundation of a vibrant, diverse group of individuals and The Plural of She offers a platform to celebrate them. Every day breeds new stories, perspectives, and avenues for representation that demand to be seen and heard. These performances invite the audience to listen, be entertained, and learn about the worlds that exist in close proximity to our own. Each of these artists are master storytellers with a wealth of knowledge and experience that immerse the audiences profoundly. Each production strides the line between creatively-crafted narrative and a personal reality that genuinely connect the audience to their story. Talk Is Free Theatre is committed to offering opportunities for individuals with a story to tell to be heard and seen. The company will continue to evolve with the times and this brand-new festival is a another step towards representation for vital voices. Arkady Spivak Artistic Producer WWW.TIFT.CA | 705-792-1949 Curator's Greeting Welcome to this offering of The Plural of She, a mini-festival of solo plays by female-identifying artists! This diverse grouping of original creations includes two world premieres, a play that has toured internationally, and work that reflect our world through the woman’s and non-binary lens. The title of this festival is a humourous dig at the English language, which does not provide a plural for “she”, offering only “they”, which is only now offered as the pronoun for many individuals on the gender spectrum. This re-visiting of the English language keeps us artists free to create “out of the box” so to speak. I am honoured to be in the company of this exciting group of artists, and wish to thank our generous Barrie hosts who are sharing their beautiful outdoor spaces for some of the first theatre events in this country since the Covid 19 lockdowns. Maja Ardal Curator, The Plural of She WWW.TIFT.CA | 705-792-1949 September 23 & 24, 2020 at 6pm 16 Lougheed Road, Barrie HAVING HOPE: A HAND DRUM SONG CYCLE Created and Performed by Nicole Joy-Fraser Through her gifts of song and hand drum, 60’s Scoop witness Nicole Joy-Fraser shares the reclamation of her Indigenous identity, her journey of healing, and her personal decolonization through the performing arts. Birthed from an invitation by her colleague and mentor Maja Ardal, Nicole thought if she replaced the piano and bar scene of a Cabaret-style concert with the hand drum and a back yard, then it could be an opportunity for a small audience to learn and hear her story. Ultimately the perspective of a Professional Indigenous Artist and Cultural Arts worker who has been establishing herself over the last 20 years with the incredible support of her family, her community, and her ancestral lineage. She is thrilled and honoured to be given this space and to open The Plural of She. This is the official premiere and first time that Nicole is devising solo-work. Kininâskomitin.

WWW.TIFT.CA | 705-792-1949 September 25, 2020 at 6pm September 26, 2020 at 2pm 72 Monique Crescent, Barrie IN CASE WE DISAPPEAR Created and Performed by Vanessa Smythe My little brother and I have always had a fear of things disappearing. Small things like gift certificates to the movies. Big things like the people we love suddenly being gone. As kids, our fear of things vanishing would keep us up at night. We’d get real quiet imagining the people we loved suddenly going away. In these moments, I used to tell my brother stories: kooky stories, embarrassing stories; stories about falling in love. These little tales would calm us - and often make us laugh. They became something we hung onto no matter what. In Case We Disappear is a series of poems, songs, and comedic anecdotes that “quickly tack between the humour in everyday minutia, and grand, heartfelt observations about big life questions.” (NOW Magazine). It’s just me and a microphone, and I have toured the show to sold-out houses through North America and the UK where it was Critics Pick in 9 publications, and also named one of the best free shows at the Edinburgh Fringe (BFTBOScotland). Theatre Critic Jordan Bimm describes the show as "an emotional and spellbinding combination of storytelling, stand-up comedy, poetry and song – all at the same time". I talk about accidentally booty-calling an ex, and describe the time I looked for lost soldiers after a war. In this “Backyard Edition” we’ll playfully conjure the memories we hang onto, when everything else is gone. VANESSA SMYTHE TIFT: For Both Resting and Breeding, Offline .

The sounds are excruciatingly painful for him. Donnenfeld’s hearing troubles began about sev- en years ago, after he lost a third of his hearing. He was diagnosed with acous- tic neuroma, a benign brain tumor that sits on the hearing nerves. Treat- ment included radiation.

After all, today’s consumers aren’t just savvy, they’re finicky, too. They can spot brands’ tactics from miles away because they’re using the same ones to build their own.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. CHRETIEN DE TROYES' EREC ET ENIDE AND CISTERCIAN SPIRITUALITY Patricia Ann Quattrin, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1984 Many critics confess to a "vague uneasiness" with the meaning of Chretien de Troyes' Erec et Enide, especial­ ly with the motivation for Erec's adventures. Such critics as D. W. Robertson, E. Talbot Donaldson, and Northrup Frye posit methodological approaches to the meaning and under­ standing of vernacular romances. However, researching Cis­ tercian monasticism, especially William of St. Thierry, I noted similarities between and parallels in the structure of a spiritual quest for God and a model of the secular quest found in Chretien de Troyes' Erec et Enide.
