The musical (book by Michael John LaChiusa, music and lyrics by George C. Wolfe) does not specify culturally diverse casting. A recent production by Acting Up Stage Company in association with Obsidian Theatre cast Cara Ricketts and Daren A. Herbert as the profligate party hosts, deepening the examination of racial tension, sexuality, discrimination and traditional sex and race barriers President’s message It’s spring, or at least that is what the calendar would have me believe. (As I write this, I’m still dodging black ice on cold, dark evenings as I bike home from work.) More importantly, it’s spring and it’s 2015, and that can mean only one thing: Council elections are just six months away. That’s probably not what you thought I was going to write, but it’s true, and Council is in full election-planning mode. Nomination forms will be going out soon, and you will also shortly see communications winding up toward an October vote. Backing up a bit, members will recall that in the last EQ we asked you to weigh in with your thoughts on implementing a system of rotating elections. The idea was that, rather than replacing Council all at once, we would stagger elections over a few years to promote greater continuity and momentum on Council. While those we heard from were largely supportive, at our meeting in February, Council decided to stay the course, and upcoming elections will remain country-wide for three-year terms. Concerns about possible cost increases and confusion for members were among the considerations that went into the decision. However, before we get to elections, we still have a lot to accomplish in the term. We recently completed a national survey on safe and respectful workplaces. In broad summary, I’ll say that the results were by turns illuminating, saddening, maddening and inspiring, and you can find the full report included a little further along in these pages. We’ve also published a comprehensive data breakdown online. The survey is, of course, hardly the last step to be taken on the topic, and our report also details some of the improvements we hope to make. The plan is to have them complete by the end of the year. Next up for a major initiative is a diversity research project, already under way by the time you read this magazine. This massive exploration of member demographics will provide us with the data we need to foster and track ongoing progress in this area. The action coming out of that research work will keep us busy for the rest of the term and well beyond. And, as always, there are numerous, smaller things on the go; for a rundown of those, I refer you to the online version of my report from the recent National Annual General Meeting in Toronto. And now back to elections… Equity is an organization proudly run by and for its members, and Council is the body that takes on that work. If you have an interest in seeing your professional association move with the times; if you have the energy and commitment to tackle complex subjects; and if you are the kind of person who looks beyond me to we, you would make the ideal Councillor. Drop a note to your regional Councillor – contact information is available at EQUITYONLINE – and find out more about running for Council. I’m not going to sugarcoat it – there are times when being responsible for the well-being of a national professional association is extraordinarily challenging. But, if you’re up for a good challenge (and if you work in live performance, you’d better be!), then you have what it takes. Run for Council in 2015, and help Equity help its members! Allan Teichman President SPRING 2015 2 EQUITY QUARTERLY Notes from Arden R. Ryshpan The country we celebrated on its 100th birthday is radically different from the one whose 150th we are on the verge of acknowledging. In the few years after the Centennial, we instituted Canadian content requirements, redressed the imbalance in foreign ownership of many of our natural resources, and struggled to define a “Canadian identity.” Changes to immigration policies and the Employment Equity, Canadian Human Rights and Canadian Multiculturalism Acts have all been a result of public pressure on policy makers to redefine our values and ideals and ensure that they continue to adapt to our changing demographics. As much as we have grown as a country, some things – stubbornly – do not seem to be changing with nearly the same alacrity as others. Two of those things – harassment in the workplace and diversity – are two of the most important issues facing our industry and they are the subjects of this issue of EQ. In the magazine, you will find additional results from our harassment survey. Perhaps as a result of the spate of recent stories in the North American press, or perhaps because people have just had enough, it seems as though the time has come to truly tackle this canker in our midst.

  • Ryga, Miss Donohue, and Me: Forty Years of the Ecstasy of Rita Joe in the University
    TRiC38#1x12.qxp_TRiC'16 2017-05-30 11:03 AM Page 11 ARTICLES Ryga, Miss Donohue, and Me: Forty Years of The Ecstasy of Rita Joe in the University MOIRA DAY This article is dedicated to the memory of Frank Bueckert (1922-2017), a valued friend, mentor, and teacher. While the seminal role that George Ryga’s 1967 classic, The Ecstasy of Rita Joe, played in igniting the modern Canadian theatre has often been acknowledged, the extent to which its success also constituted a concentrated attack on what Ryga termed the “complacent educator” in 1977, and helped revolution- ize the publication and teaching of Canadian plays at the post-secondary level, may have been less well acknowledged. This article, which documents Moira Day’s own forty-year odyssey with the play in the (largely) prairie university classroom as both a student and an instructor, investigates the play’s initial impact on scholarship, publication, curriculum at the post-secondary level, and some of its ramifications on school and university production and actor training over the 1970 and 1980s. It also deals with the challenges of continuing to teach and interpret the play from the 1990s onward, as new practices and theories have continued to alter its meaning, and considers why this odd, iconoclastic text, despite its flaws, continues to fascinate us fifty years after its initial production. On a souvent souligné le rôle essentiel qu’a joué The Ecstasy of Rita Joe, une pièce qu’a écrite George Ryga en 1967, dans la mouvance du théâtre canadien. Or, on a peut-être moins insisté sur la mesure dans laquelle son succès aura constitué une attaque concentrée sur ce que Ryga appelait en 1977 l’« éducateur complaisant », ni même sur le fait que la pièce aura servi à révolutionner la publication et l’enseignement de la dramaturgie canadienne au niveau post-secondaire.

  • Falls Around Her
    Baswewe Films and The Film Farm Present FALLS AROUND HER Starring Tantoo Cardinal Written and Directed by Darlene Naponse PRESS KIT SYNOPSIS Falls Around Her follows Mary Birchbark (Tantoo Cardinal), a legendary singer who returns to the vast wilderness of her reserve to reconnect with the land and her community. Mary begins to sense that someone might be watching her. Unsure of what is real and what is imagined, Mary embraces isolation as she explores the psychological impact of her past and present. PRODUCTION NOTES Work and Walk in a Good Way Honour the Seven Grandfathers teachings: Honesty – Wisdom – Respect – Bravery – Humility – Truth – Love Those words and several others would accompany Falls Around Her’s first callsheet and would be included in every callsheet during the shoot. For the Anishinaabe people, the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers is a set of teachings on human conduct toward others. As film crews employ many people from several different backgrounds, it’s a daily reminder to treat all creation with respect. And cast and crew took those words to heart every day and it contributed to a joyful set. Even more amazing given that there was a mix of crew of indigenous and non-indigenous people. The crew for Falls Around Her became an amalgamation of Toronto and Atikameksheng Anishnawbek/Sudbury/North Bay crews along with many indigenous locals. For the locals, it was the biggest production to ever have its home base on the reservation, and they were prepared for the challenge and the collective hard work of all is reflected on-screen.

  • Northern Review 43 Fall 2016.Indd
    Exploring human experience in the North research arƟ cle “Indigenizing” the Bush Pilot in CBC’s ArcƟ c Air Renée Hulan Saint Mary’s University, Halifax Abstract When the Canadian BroadcasƟ ng CorporaƟ on (CBC) cut original programming in 2014, it cancelled the drama that had earned the network’s highest raƟ ngs in over a decade. Arc c Air, based on Omni Films’ reality TV show Buff alo Air, created a diverse cast of characters around a Dene bush pilot and airline co-owner played by Adam Beach. Despite its cancellaƟ on, episodes can sƟ ll be viewed on the CBC website, and the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) has conƟ nued broadcasƟ ng the popular show. Through a content analysis of Arc c Air and its associated paratext, read in relaƟ on to the stock Canadian literary fi gure of the heroic bush pilot, this arƟ cle argues that when viewed on the CBC, the program visually “Indigenizes” the bush pilot character, but suggests only one way forward for Indigenous people. On the “naƟ onal broadcaster,” the imagined urban, mulƟ cultural North of Arc c Air—in which Indigenous people are one cultural group among others parƟ cipaƟ ng in commercial ventures—serves to normalize resource development and extracƟ on. Broadcast on APTN, however, where the show appears in the context of programming that represents Indigenous people in a wide range of roles, genres, and scenarios, Arc c Air takes on new meaning. Keywords: media; television; Canadian North; content analysis The Northern Review 43 (2016): 139–162 Published by Yukon College, Whitehorse, Canada yukoncollege.yk.ca/review 139 In 2013, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) lost the broadcast rights to Hockey Night in Canada, a contract that the private broadcaster Rogers Media secured for $5.2 billion.

Vital Topics are a quick look at a single issue and are timely and important to Edmonton. W MEN Unless otherwise stated, “Edmonton” refers to Census Metropolitan Area and not solely the City of Edmonton. in ALBERTA The Indigenous population in Alberta is INCREASING1.5 X MORE QUICKLY than the rest of the population.

Canada still discriminates on the basis of sex when it comes to the Indian Act. Early in 2019 the United Nations called on Canada to remove the sections that do not give First Nations women the same rights as First Nations men. While consultations have begun with the First Nations, the UN says there needs to be an end date. CONTEXTUAL TERMS For the purpose of this report, references to “Indigenous” people should be understood as including First Nations, Métis and Inuit, non-status and status, on and off-reserve, recognizing that the term refers to distinct people, cultures and each with their own histories. In some cases where the research uses the word “Aboriginal,” we have chosen to substitute “Indigenous.” Resilience is a dynamic process of social/psychological adaptation and Intergenerational trauma is the transmission of historical oppression and transformation that occurs in individuals, families, communities or larger its negative consequences across generations.

  • Media Release Soulpepper’S 2019 Summer-Fall Season – Classics Re-Imagined Through New Lenses
    MEDIA RELEASE SOULPEPPER’S 2019 SUMMER-FALL SEASON – CLASSICS RE-IMAGINED THROUGH NEW LENSES Toronto, ON – February 20, 2019: Soulpepper Theatre Company today announced the Summer-Fall season, with new artistic programming from July to November 2019. The full line-up of the season, programmed under the leadership of former Acting Artistic Director Alan Dilworth, includes a collection of five exceptional plays about identity, friendship, love, and belonging, as well as two Soulpepper Concerts. The season welcomes three directors making their Soulpepper debuts. All programming and casting details can be found at Soulpepper.ca. “What makes a classic? What is a modern classic? In our hyper-connected, hyper-speed moment how does a work from another time and place speak to us now? These are the questions our season is built on. Our concerts celebrate and re-invent classics. I feel that every play in our season is a modern classic. And in celebration of the multiplicity of truths explored in our modern classical offerings we have brought together a remarkable group of artists to breathe life into these extraordinary works,” said Alan Dilworth. “In my outgoing role as Soulpepper’s Acting Artistic Director, I am thrilled to welcome directors Philip Akin, Jani Lauzon, Andrea Donaldson in their Soulpepper debuts, and I welcome back the multi-talented, multi-disciplinary Frank Cox- O’Connell, and Soulpepper’s celebrated and beloved powerhouse Artistic Director Weyni Mengesha.” “This season offers familiar stories that resonate with our times, but told through new lenses and by new voices. Welcoming artists into our company always opens up new opportunities for collaboration and creative growth, and I’m excited to see what we create together” said Weyni Mengesha, Artistic Director.

Grassroots News (Part two in a four-part special investigative report) by Len Kruzenga There are some estimates floating around Indian Country which suggest that anywhere from 5,000 to 10 graves continue to be situated on the sites of Canada’s over 130 former Indian Residential Schools and that many of them remain unmarked, unrecorded—nationally—at INAC and unprotected. Although the Aboriginal Healing Foundation has doled out over $300 million dollars in grants and funding to a staggering array of survivor driven programs and services intended to assist Residential School Survivors and their families, officials there admit not a dime has gone towards commemorating the graves of the dead or in chronicling the locations of the actual cemeteries, the names of those buried there or creating a national register of the dead. Aboriginal Healing Fund Communications Director Wayne Spear says that of the thousands of projects the AHF has approved thus far, none have dealt with the issue of cemeteries or graves on the former Residential Schools sites.
