On behalf of the Governing Council, I am pleased to welcome you to Montréal. We gather here at a critical time for the field of theatre in higher education. There was a time, or perhaps we only imagined it, that the “ivory tower” of the university remained protected, or at least comfortably aloof, from the troubles of the society at large. That time is no longer. Political tensions, structural racism, gender normativity, and rising economic inequality have inescapable consequences for how we study and practice theatre and performance. We confront these issues daily in the classroom and the rehearsal studio. We analyze them in our scholarship and explore them in our creative practice. We wrestle with them in planning our production seasons and agonize over them as we conduct faculty searches. How many of us begin our workday in the spirit of the Ars Poetica (“to delight and instruct”) and conclude it in the spirit of The Threepenny Opera (“first bread, then morals”)? Both impulses, of course, are correct. The call to memory, then, that serves as this year’s theme – Je me souviens – is not an expression of nostalgia but a summons: as an Association, ATHE must remember both our ideals and the realpolitik of contemporary higher education. We must remember to honor the talents and accomplishments of our students and colleagues at the same time as we advocate for change in our curricula and working conditions. We must remember that supporting and advancing the study and practice of theatre and performance in higher education requires us to engage with the society at large, not remain sequestered from it. You may recall the words of anthropologist Margaret Mead: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. For those engaged in the study and practice of theatre and performance, I encourage you to take similar inspiration from a reminder that I first heard many years ago from one of this weekend’s featured performers, Deb Margolin: The only way out is through the show. Bon voyage! Henry Bial President 5 BIENVENUE AU MONTREAL! It is my great pleasure to welcome you to this great city! … to Québec! … to Canada, my “home and native land”! I am mindful of the fact that most of you crossed our shared border to get here and part of our goal as your Conference Committee was to keep an awareness of things Québecois and things Canadian before you as you navigate your way from Awards and Keynote, to Concurrent Sessions, the Plenary, Workshops and Performances—and yes, our Annual Membership Meeting, at which we will serve that iconic French Canadian gift to fast good: poutine! And don’t forget to grab one of the reasonably priced Montréal bagel sandwiches available in the Conference area. Memory will tell us that the history between Canada and the United States, although rocky in the distant past—the War of 1812 comes to mind—has more recently been one of great friendship, common interests, and, for many decades, sharing the longest undefended border in the world. And mixed in there with all that commonality, we are somehow very different in ways that seem small at first, but will become more apparent as you experience this city and its beautiful culture. I invite you to not only explore those differences, but to celebrate them, while you are here in Montréal. As the Conference Committee began to discuss our 2015 conference, we were naturally drawn to the provincial motto, Je me souviens. Once it was proposed, there seemed to be no other choice. As I noted in the 2014 Conference brochure, Je me souviens is not without controversy. Even as it calls on Québecois to remember their illustrious past in the New World and their origins in France, it also conjures up images of conflict and controversy—with the First Nations peoples, with the English, with Canada, and with one another. For the next four days, we will explore how this theme applies to us all as theatre practitioners and scholars—in our workshops, performances, papers, discussions, and practical sessions. We begin with the Keynote Speech by Montréal’s own Marie Brassard—a performer, director and playwright of international renown, known for her work with Robert LePage and in her own right as the Founding Artistic Director of her own theatre company, Infrarouge. From English Canada, Judith Thompson calls on us to remember flaws in the Canadian justice system, in her one woman play, Watching Glory Die. We also have unforgettable workshops planned for you: with Manon Beaudoin, who is known for her work with Cirque de Soliel, and, lest you fear we ignored our friendly neighbour to the south, ATHE’s very own Joan Lipkin will lead two workshops, while Deb Margolin will perform her one- woman show, 8 Stops. We will also have special visits from the First Nations theatre company, Ondinnok; Centre des auteurs dramatiques, the Québec playwrights’ association, and Black Theatre Workshop, all based in Montréal. In the Exhibit Hall and in various locations in the conference centre, you will be able to hear readings from works by Canadian feminist playwrights at various times throughout each day. And, with all this focus on memory, we could not help but to ask you to help point the way forward in our Plenary, a Theatre of the Future event in which we will develop an action plan to counter the problems facing theatre in the academy. Highlights of our discussions and action plan will then be posted to the Devoted and Disgruntled website (www.devotedanddisgruntled.com). And while you are here, catch a little Canadian TV, have a glass of wine at the Hôtel Nelligan in elegant Old Montréal (also known as Le Vieux-Port), have a famous Montréal Smoked Meat on Rye and cheesecake at Swartz’s, or check out the Musée des Beaux-Arts or the Inuit Art Collection at Galerie ElcaLondon or a concert at L’Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal. Stroll through the Gay Village, sit at outdoor cafés, take the Metro or walk through the summer streets. Enjoy!

  • Who Would You Trust to Tell Your Story?
    WHO WOULD YOU TRUST TO TELL YOUR STORY? Who would you trust to tell your story? That was the question that Cleveland activist Johanna Orozco-Fraser and journalist Rachel Dissell had to contemplate when playwright and director Tlaloc Rivas contacted them. His first email, sent on New Year's Day 2014, said in part: Your story came to my attention years ago. As you know, [Johanna's] story is an inspiration to many Latinos and young women across the country. I share your belief that stories and storytelling have the potential for social change. The plays I create aim to tell stories that provoke a conversation about important subjects between artists and audiences. I believe that Johanna's story has that potential. As it happens, I will be traveling to Cleveland [soon]... I'd like to talk with you about whether a play inspired by your articles can happen. The three met just a couple of weeks later. Orozco-Fraser, who survived a near-fatal attack by her ex-boyfriend and became a leading advocate for change in Ohio's domestic violence laws, had become lasting friends with Dissell, a Plain Dealer reporter, as Rachel wrote a series of articles chronicling Johanna's recovery in 2007 (the complete 9-part series is available here). Both friends decided that Rivas deserved their trust. They gave their blessing to his effort to bring their story to the stage. Just hours later, CPT Executive Artistic Director Raymond Bobgan offered the project a home at this theatre. As Rivas began to shape the script, Orozco-Fraser and Dissell became treasured advisors and collaborators on this new telling of the story.
