EMBARGOED MEDIA RELEASE Embargoed 6.00AM AEST, Wednesday 1 May 2019 EMBARGOED MEDIA RELEASE Embargoed 6.00AM AEST, Wednesday 1 May 2019 INTERNATIONAL BASKETBALL COMING TO SYDNEY USA TO TAKE ON CANADA CANADA TO ALSO PLAY NEW ZEALAND IN TWO GAMES 20 – 26 AUGUST 2019 The biggest names in basketball will play in Sydney this August when North American rivals, USA Basketball and Canada Basketball will face off at Qudos Bank Arena on Monday 26 August 2019 (7.30pm), while the New Zealand Tall Blacks take on Canada Basketball at the Quaycentre on Tuesday 20 August 2019 and Wednesday 21 August 2019 (7.30pm). These games will serve as important preparation for all teams ahead of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup to be contested in China August 31 – September 15, with each outfit to feature their final 12-man roster for the world championship. Presale tickets will be available via Telstra Thanks® from 12.00pm AEST, Friday 3 May 2019 and the general public on sale commences from 12.00pm AEST, Wednesday 8 May 2019 from Ticketek. USA Basketball’s encounter against Canada at Qudos Bank Arena will follow two massive games against the Australian Boomers at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on 22 and 24 August in front of over 100,000 fans – through the support of the Victorian Government via its tourism and major events agency Visit Victoria – and will round out their preparation for China. USA Basketball Men’s National Team Managing Director Jerry Colangelo said: “Playing an outstanding opponent like Canada in Sydney is a fantastic way for the USA Men’s National Team to finish out its tour. “This game will not just be an opportunity to put the finishing touches on our pre-World Cup preparations, but it will be amazing for USA Basketball to return to Qudos Bank Arena where the USA men and women won Olympic gold medals in 2000. I have no doubt the game and atmosphere around the game will again be very memorable.” With the addition of these three games, Canada Basketball will play a total of five pre-World Cup games in Australia, having previously confirmed two fixtures against the Boomers in Perth on 16 and 17 August. Canada Basketball General Manager, Men’s High Performance Rowan Barrett said: “We’re excited to have the opportunity to compete and gain familiarity against some of the top teams in the world in preparation for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019. “The USA has been the gold standard in FIBA basketball for several years so this will be a great opportunity for our program. In addition, having the chance to play tough road games against Australia and New Zealand will be a valuable experience for our team on the road to the World Cup.” New Zealand is one of only five nations – joining USA, Serbia, Argentina and Spain – to have made it out of pool play in each of the past four FIBA Basketball World Cups. The Tall Blacks last met Canada during a classic semi final encounter at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast where the later won on the buzzer, setting up two compelling affairs when they meet again in August. Basketball New Zealand CEO Iain Potter said: “These games are an amazing opportunity for the Tall Blacks, but also for Basketball New Zealand to forge new and ongoing relationships. It speaks to our reputation on the international stage that we have secured such an invite to play alongside some of the world’s best teams and I know Pauli (head coach Paul Henare) sees the games against Canada as a great measuring stick for where the team will be at leading into the World Cup. “This is also a great incentive for our players, a chance for them to show what they can do against NBA level opposition, as a team but also in their own careers – who knows what might come of such an opportunity.” Not since the 2000 Sydney Olympics has Australia seen such high-quality men’s international basketball on these shores, with seven star-studded games to be played inside 11 days.

    Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century by Kelsey Blair M.A., University of British Columbia, 2014 M.A., University of Toronto, 2010 B.A., University of British Columbia, 2007 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Kelsey Blair 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Kelsey Blair Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century Examining Committee: Chair: Clint Burnham Professor Peter Dickinson Senior Supervisor Professor Dara Culhane Supervisor Professor Coleman Nye Supervisor Assistant Professor Ann Travers Internal Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Susan Bennett External Examiner Professor Department of English University of Calgary Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2019 ii Abstract Richard Schechner, one of the founders of performance studies, urges scholars to expand their conceptualization of performance to include a broad spectrum of framed and/or displayed human behaviours. While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.

It clearly captures the WHO -- WHAT -- WHY -- and HOW of 3 versus 3 participation. This has been achieved based on a blend of research, theory, forward thinking and practical application. The authors’ information stretches the boundaries of perception and opens new avenues for youth development. Provided you are willing to open your mind 100 percent to this revolutionary procedure, for teaching, learning, participating and growing the game; this manual is for YOU. Critical focus has been applied to these vital factors that will create emotional engagement. Those factors are: • Fun • Authentic participation • Directed Competition • Learning • Skill development • Personal success This primer could not come at a more opportune time, as 3X3 takes on Global relevance. Surely 3X3 will conclude with an elevation in status to an Olympic Game Competition. Thus, I recommend you use this Mini-Basket resource as an on-going reference and guide to youth in competition and development. Its wisdom will positively impact you. George Raveling Director NIKE International Basketball Global Sports Marketing All of Raveling’s international work with basketball was recognized in 2015 as he was awarded the John W.
