Audio/visual equipment community asset The Fredericton Arts Alliance has acquired a package of audio-visual equipment through a shared asset grant from the City of Fredericton. The equipment, which includes a 42-inch LCD monitor, speakers (suitable for outdoor use as well as indoor), a blu-ray player, receiver, and appropriate wiring, was received through an application supported by the Charlotte Street Arts Centre, UNB Arts Centre, Gallery Connexion, and the NB Filmmakers Cooperative. Cox Electronics also assisted with the purchase of the equipment by offering a significant discount. Currently in use at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre, the equipment is available to non-profit arts organizations in the city to exhibit multi-media artwork and similar installations. For information on using the equipment, please email the Fredericton Arts Alliance: [email protected] 2. Hoot & Peep Mini Performance Festival Animates Downtown Fredericton Feb 6-11 Watch out, Fredericton! It's the Hoot & Peep Mini Performance Festival, live on Queen Street, in the heart of downtown from February 6-11. Performances will be presented live daily in the Owl's Nest Bookstore storefront windows, from 10am-1pm and from 1-4pm, featuring a roster of eight different performance artists enacting a wide variety of provocative scenes, all on the theme of sexuality studies. The Hoot & Peep Mini Performance Festival intends to shake up the snowy downtown streets of Fredericton, and also to raise awareness about the upcoming Salon Connex, a partnership project between the Charlotte Street Arts Centre and Gallery Connexion. Hoot & Peep performers include Jo Griffith, WhiteFeather, Megan MacKay, Amanda Jardine, Candace Mooers, Joe Blades, Shaun Bartone and Cynthia Ryder: • Decolumnization by Amanda Jardine will explore the expected disconnect between theory and sexuality in the academic community by using live creative nonfiction writing (in column form). • Blue Brains by Joe Blades will be a word association performance based on the idea of academic intellectual congestion and notions of attraction and the uncomfortable. • Tempest in a Teapot, an exploration of sexual repression: Under a picture of the Queen, Cynthia Ryder and Shaun Bartone will sip tea while reading passages from banned books. Simultaneously screened in the adjacent window will be the video, Slut: A Drama in One Word, alternating with found films of tea services from around the world. • Foot Worship by Cynthia Ryder is a study of our obsession with brand, style and the appeal of the shoe. • ArteFacts/x-Colonel Williams by Jo Griffith features the police interrogation of Colonel Williams playing continuously while endless nonsensical flow charts are made to document the absence of reason for the crimes. • Lessons in Loyalty/Confessions by Candace Mooers will be the reading of an S&M script without following any of the emotional cues for audio performance, using a voice mixer and homemade radio transmitter. • Inverse Erotica by Megan MacKay points out the absurdity of assigning roles to costume through fantasy. MacKay adopts the moves of an erotic dancer who puts on clothing until she has become a sexless, amorphous blob of fabric. • Fixation Station by WhiteFeather explores obsessive bodily engagement in the form of oral fixation. WhiteFeather’s performance involves lipstick, watercolour paper and sunflower seeds in the shell. HUGE thanks to the Owl's Nest Bookstore for supporting this creative endeavour. 3.

Documentary on pro-anorexia movement in France Arresting Anna Feb 10 Cinema Politica Fredericton and UNB/STU University Women's Centre present the documentary Arresting Ana on Friday, February 10, 2012, Conserver House, 180 St. John Street at 7pm. Arresting Ana is a film about the potential criminalization of the pro-anorexia movement in France. Arresting Ana is a 26-minute documentary about what some French women are choosing not to do–feed their bodies–and how they could soon become criminals in the eyes of French law for it. Valerie Boyer is a passionate legislator on a mission to restore the health, eating habits and body images of the French. According to Boyer, the uncanny power of French women to stay svelte in the country of foie gras, wine and cheese has fallen victim to globalization and has led to a skyrocketing rise in not only obesity, but in eating disorders too. For National Eating Disorders Week, discussion to be followed with PhD Student Kathleen Pye, a researcher on eating disorders. Cinema Politica screenings are followed by discussion about the film for those who wish to stay. Screenings are free but donations are welcome to pay for Cinema Politica Membership. All are invited.

This Dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Serious Play: Alden Nowlan, Leo Ferrari, Gwendolyn MacEwen, and their Flat Earth Society by David Eso B.A., University of British Columbia, 2004 M.A., University of Calgary, 2015 Supervisory Committee Iain Higgins, English Supervisor Eric Miller, English Departmental Member Heather Dean, UVic Libraries Outside Member Neil Besner, University of Winnipeg Additional Member iii Abstract This dissertation concerns the satirical Flat Earth Society (FES) founded at Fredericton, New Brunswick in November 1970. The essay’s successive chapters examine the lives and literary works of three understudied authors who held leadership positions in this critically unserious, fringe society: FES Symposiarch Alden Nowlan; the Society’s President Leo Ferrari; and its First Vice-President Gwendolyn MacEwen. Therefore, my project constitutes an act of recovery and reconstruction, bringing to light cultural work and literary connections that have largely faded from view. Chapters show how certain literary writings by Nowlan, Ferrari, or MacEwen directly or indirectly relate to their involvement with FES, making the Society an important part of their cultural work rather than a mere entertainment, distraction, or hoax.

  • Toward a National Theatre: the Canada Council, 1957-1982
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

    U.N. IN REVIEW to UPSIDE TOWN/ SWINGAROUND U.N. In Review See United Nations. U.N. Newsreel See United Nations. U.N. Review See United Nations. U.N. Today See United Nations. The Umbrella Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 3 Apr-26 Jun 1966 Sun 5:00-5:30 p.m., 9 Oct-18 Dec 1966 An adventurous program on the arts, The Umbrella brought some of the articulate cultural commentary that had previously been the territory of CBC radio to the television network. It was essentially the successor to Show On Shows (q.v.), which included features by some of the same contributors and which was also produced by John Kennedy. The host of The Umbrella was William Ronald, the painter who had achieved recognition for his abstracts, as a member of the Toronto group, Painters Eleven, in the 1950s, and whose status grew through the l960s. The show's announcer and Ronald's on-camera colleague was Lloyd Robertson. The first show, perhaps typically, centred on Ronald himself; he talked about his own work to art students. Subsequent programs moved to wider, different subjects, both local and international in focus. In the first month, for example, Ronald presented his interview with the legendary artist Marcel Duchamp, filmed in New York, and a program on the burgeoning cultural scene in London, Ontario, and interviews with painters Greg Curnoe and Jack Chambers, and with writer James Reaney. Subjects included the visual, literary, and performing arts, and regular contributors included Rita Greer Allen, Barry Callaghan, and Timothy Findley.
