Drawing from conceptual and empirical material exploring the significance of drama spaces in the lives of young people in a time of crisis \u2013 marked by the myriad \u2018abandonments\u2019 of thwarted climate goals, ongoing war, pandemic, and the unregulated proliferation of destabilizing technologies \u2013 the paper asks if drama classrooms and rehearsal halls can emerge as interior spaces where the \u2018conditions of possibility\u2019 (Coffey, 2022) for collective thriving can be nurtured. Thriving has become a popular concept in \u2018discourses of transition\u2019 seeking out alternatives to what Amit Singh Chaudhuri (2024) sees as late capitalism\u2019s \u2018extractive circuit:\u2019 economic theorists like Kate Raworth (2017) have proposed \u2018thriving\u2019 rather than \u2018growth\u2019 as a more sustainable measure of a nation\u2019s wealth in the climate crisis, while \u2018buen vivir\u2019 (\u2018living well\u2019) is a principle driving Latin American Indigenous and Afro-descendent resistance efforts against colonialism and resource extraction. I engage with \u2018thriving\u2019 as a performative that can be generated in drama spaces. Leveraging Amartya Sen\u2019s (1999) contention that a flourishing life is measured according to what one is able to do (as opposed to what one owns) and Julia Coffey\u2019s (2022) framing of \u2018collective wellbeing\u2019 as a non-personal capacity that arises from its \u2018conditions of possibility,\u2019 I ask if it is within the aesthetics and ethics arising in the collective artistic encounter that the roots of social and planetary thriving can be nurtured.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Kimber Sider, \u201cWhere Does the \u2018Wild\u2019 Begin?: Interspecies Lessons from a Shared Expanse of Green\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Where Does the \u201cWild\u201d Begin?:&nbsp;<br>Interspecies Lessons from a Shared Expanse of Green<br><br>In The Urban Bestiary Lyanda Lynn Haupt speaks of a \u201clost boundary\u201d (p. 15), acknowledging that though we may still conceive of \u201cnature\u201d as elsewhere, a pristine and untouched expanse of wild that exists beyond human reach, this place no longer exists. The wild is equally discovered within and amongst human communities. It is found within the green spaces that we often consider our own (human) domains\u2014 within parks, yards, and often (against our wishes) within the walls of our homes. These liminal spaces, where interior \u201chome\u201d intertwines with exterior \u201cnature,\u201d offer the potential for a community space of interspecies meeting. A domain where we are invited, and challenged, to release our grip of colonial ownership over the land and acknowledge that these expanses (even when urban or suburban) were never ours to begin with.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>In this paper, through interspecies entanglements in my \u201cown\u201d backyard, and how my students perceive (and learn to see) the interspecies community of the University of Waterloo campus, prompted by a series of performance-based observation activities, I explore how these liminal spaces of \u201cwildness\u201d invite us to recognize, engage with, and more equitably cohabit with our nonhuman neighbours? How might performance be used to bring our own \u201cwild life\u201d forward (Haupt 14)? How might these urban wilds offer an opportunity for humans to become more positively intertwined within the interspecies community which supports us all?<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Lisa Woynarski, \u201cImagining Urban Ecologies through Indigenous Performance\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>As most of the world now lives in cities, they reflect the inequalities of society at large and embody historic nature\/culture divides, histories of displacement and dispossession, anthropocentrism and material inequalities. Pervasive future ecological visions of cities are often built on representations on apocalypse, natural disasters destroying urban environments. These representations of apocalypse can foreclose the possibilities of other possible futures. In this presentation, I look to performances that ask: what happens if we reject the apocalyptic future of the city? How can we live together in more just and ecological ways? Dismantling the urban\/nature binary and understanding the city as a liminal space where histories and futures collide, the two performances included here imagine the urban futures in hopefully and optimistic ways based on community action, regeneration and decolonization. Peter Morin\u2019s (Tahltan Nation) Cultural Graffiti in London (2013) embodies Indigenous knowledge and culture by foregrounding how legacies of colonialism are living in the structures of contemporary cities. In this site-based work, Morin sang Tahltan songs to different monuments in London (UK), bringing Indigenous awareness, existence and art into the city where Indigenous presences have been wilfully forgotten or erased. The Unplugging (2014) by Yvette Nolan envision a pluralistic future through envisioning a post-electricity world in which Indigenous values build community. I argue that both of these works allow us to see the potential of performance in imagining a more climate just future, by taking colonial marked systems and transforming them into decolonized, community-driven ones that prioritise Indigenous knowledge and environmental justice.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Christine Balt<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Christine Balt is a researcher and educator based in Toronto, who is interested in how performance practices intersect with &#8216;wellbeing&#8217; in drama and learning spaces.

Protesting the play\u2019s stereotypical representation of women, including its association of women\u2019s genitalia with fish, the anonymous collective Women Against Sexist Humour (WASH) rose from the audience during the second act and unleashed stink bombs. The show went on, with most but not all spectators enduring the smell until curtain call. Director Larry Lillo, interviewed in multiple outlets, stressed that while he welcomed dissent, WASH had crossed a line and revealed themselves to \u201chave no humourous perspective\u201d (Wyman). In response, WASH countered Lillo\u2019s characterization by underlining how both humour and humourlessness are weaponized against women.&nbsp;<br><br>Through an examination of the archival remains of this production, including the public debate incited by the stink bombs, this paper theorizes WASH\u2019s disruptive action as a form of killjoy criticism in that it gets in the way (Ahmed) of the audience\u2019s enjoyment of the play\u2019s purported humour. Yet, it argues, the stink bombs are not humourless but rather humourous, a response to Eunuchs&#8217; commentary on women\u2019s bodies and an extension of the production\u2019s own assault on spectators\u2019 senses. The stink bomb action can be productively read within a history of embodied feminist criticism, wherein women have overcome their limited access to mainstream modes of criticism like print journalism by responding to performance both on their own terms and according to its own terms\u2014fighting fire with fire, or stink with stink.<br><br>Works Cited<br><br>Ahmed, Sara. \u201cFeminist Killjoys (And Other Willful Subjects).\u201d The Scholar &amp; Feminist Online,<br>vol. 8, no. 3, 2010,&nbsp;https:\/\/sfonline.barnard.edu\/feminist-killjoys-and-otherwillful-subjects\/2\/.<br><br>Wyman, Max. \u201cPlay Bombed.

It acknowledges a previous spatiotemporal position and assumes a new, more stable state, once the liminal threshold has been traversed.&nbsp;&nbsp;I employ Edward Said\u2019s Reflections on Exile (1984) that they \u201care cut off from their roots, their land, their past . . . . [and] take on an urgent need to reconstitute their broken lives. . . . Homecoming is out of the question\u201d (177).&nbsp;&nbsp;This final phrase troubles the usual notion of liminality since being in-between in the play appears to remain resolutely in the present as the only destination for these exiles.<br>My paper interrogates how liminality operates in the underlying forces of exile through an exploration of Glowacki\u2019s play which focuses upon unhoused exiles, who are denizens of a New York City Park. His re-visioning of Sophocles Antigone transforms an Ancient Greek tragedy into a multiply faceted liminal genre that includes black comedy, vaudeville, slapstick, farce, and absurdist theatre.&nbsp;&nbsp;Although it enacts a comedic dynamic the trajectory of Glowacki\u2019s play leaves no doubt about the devastating situation of the characters, Anita (erstwhile Antigone) from Puerto Rico, Flea from Poland, and Sasha from Russia. They exhibit a tenacious will to survive amidst the daily chaos and police raids despite the severe form of dislocation that homelessness imposes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Clive Barnes maintains that for Glowacki: \u201cHomelessness. . . . is more than just the lack of a roof. It\u2019s a condition of the soul\u201d (235).

What, then, is the power of its absence in Canada? Visions of Harlem and significant moments in African American history expound via the speeches, songs, and interviews that begin each scene of Harlem Duet, and this paper wrestles with how these historical cues function in a Canadian context. I begin this paper by considering how Harlem Duet\u2019s source texts, Shakespeare\u2019s Othello also negotiates visions of internationally distant spaces. I ask what it means for Shakespeare, as he did with almost all of his plays, to stage Othello in Venice and Crete, as the paper also considers the nature of identification within the play. Following this discussion of Othello, I question how Harlem Duet\u2019s vision of Harlem differs substantially from Othello\u2019s Venice. I inquire on Sears\u2019s vision of an Afrodiasporic home that is equally physical and symbolic, a home located beyond Canada, beyond national borders, beyond Harlem. In part, that home is on the stage. While Ric Knowles writes in \u201cOthello in Three Times\u201d that \u201cHarlem Duet is not centrally concerned with Canada,\u201d (371), this paper challenges that claim. I argue Harlem Duet negotiates Harlem\u2019s significance in a broader North American context as a longing for a space that feels like home. This paper will interrogate the nature of this longing as well as how the play situates itself in relation to its \u201cCanadian\u201d audience.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Keren Zaiontz, \u201c<em>The Russian Play<\/em>&nbsp;after the Full-Scale Invasion of Ukraine\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The Russian Play is a date stamp of a formative moment in Hannah Moscovitch\u2019s maturation as a playwright.  First performed in Toronto\u2019s SummerWorks Festival, in 2006, The Russian Play won the jury prize for Outstanding New Production, and was later produced as a double bill, in 2008, with Essay, at Factory Theatre, establishing Moscovitch as a fixture on the mainstages of the city\u2019s theatre scene. It is in The Russian Play that we can glimpse many of the representational pressure points that recur in<br>Moscovitch\u2019s writing: the story of a young woman living on the margins carrying an unwanted pregnancy; the visual staging that shows that same young woman aborting the pregnancy on her own; and the heterosexual desire that precedes both pregnancy and abortion and culminates in calamity. In this paper, I discuss how The Russian Play sets into motion both Moscovitch\u2019s reputation as a playwright who infuses well-made plays with explicit theatricality and establishes her recuring interest in romantic desire<br>and devalued women. But for all it sets into motion, I also use this paper to discuss what might appear to be a provocative, but necessary question: is it time to shelve The Russian Play? Set in a \u201csmall Russian town,\u201d the imagined place of \u201cVladekstov,\u201d The Russian Play features the protagonist, Sonya, a sixteen-year-old flower girl who falls in love with a gravedigger, Piotr. While not intended to function as a historical drama, the play references life in \u201cnew Russia\u201d under Soviet dictator, Joseph Stalin, and describes<br>Sonya\u2019s arbitrary interrogation and imprisonment by the secret police. Almost two decades after it was first produced, what stands out about The Russian Play is not its pathos but its wild inaccuracies and the eroticization of regime violence under Stalin. These issues carry additional weight in the current geopolitical context. Almost three years after Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion and partial occupation of Ukraine, The Russian Play stands out for who\u2014outside Russia\u2019s borders, but within its Soviet empire\u2014is not<br>depicted onstage. How should we mark the Ukrainian absences in The Russian Play? Or do some plays have a shelf life?<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-3\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Marcia Blumberg<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Dr Marcia Blumberg is an Associate Professor in the English Department at York University, Toronto.

How do performance artists navigate and complicate the distinction between the inside and outside of national borders? How is migrant interiority staged? How do acts of border crossing challenge the assumed interiority of nation-states? We invite proposals that speak to these and similar questions both in relation to Canada and other geographical areas.<br>After receiving expressions of interest, moderators will ask participants to submit short papers (3-5 pages) by May 1, 2025.&nbsp;<br>When submitting their paper, we will ask each participant to identify which of the proposed axes of the conference theme\u2013 borders, identity, and culture &#8211; they would like to discuss in their papers. We will break the group into three subgroups based on the participants\u2019 choices and will ask members of each subgroup to exchange their research-papers among each other. We will provide two research questions to be discussed by each subgroup.

Rather than the evocation of food through mimetic gestures, actors and audience at these experimental food-performance events consume food during and after performances. Critically, the inclusion of food in these events is not only a form of interactivity, but also a locus for diasporic identity formation. With this in mind, what does food facilitate in these works of Asian Canadian Performance? How does the food-body link of diasporic subjectivity serve those who perpetuate it? What does the sociality of these food-performance events suggest about diasporic cultural production? Engaging with these questions, I engender three works of Asian Canadian performance that have been staged in Toronto between 2023 and 2024: Silkbath Collective\u2019s Woking Phoenix, Amanda Lin\u2019s Between a Wok and a Hot Pot and So Tasty?! a drag anthology hosted at the University of Toronto. Taking up the work of food studies scholar Anita Manuur and her notion of intimate eating publics, this paper frames these food-performance events as radical and liminal spaces which leverage the intimacy of eating to challenge the appetites of a normative Canadian audience hungry to consume the Other.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Taylor Marie Graham, \u201cTheatre, Ghosts, and the Southwestern Ontario Gothic\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Stages all across Southwestern Ontario are haunted. As Marvin Carlson asserts, \u201cthe relationships between theatre and cultural memory are deep and complex\u201d and theatre buildings themselves act as memory machines for those who inhabit their structures (2). Michael Hurley argues that \u201cthere is a disturbing break-boundary recognition of, and insistence upon, gothic discontinuities and contradictions\u201d in the \u201cspirit of place of&nbsp;&nbsp;Southwestern Ontario\u201d (156-7). Specifically he links the area\u2019s gothic narratives with \u201cperiods of cultural disorder or upheaval\u201d and twentieth century postcolonial tensions embedded in the search for a so-called Canadian identity (161). This region is deeply complicit in the layers of colonial violence which are felt all throughout Turtle Island. By examining three ghosts, caught in that liminal space between life and death, from three plays performed on stages in this region, a discussion concerning the colonial injustices present on this land and its stages begins to emerge. First, the ghost child in Falen Johnson and Jessica Carmichael\u2019s Ipperwash remaps the Blyth Festival Theatre within Indigenous space on Canada\u2019s 150th birthday, and reveals federal, provincial, and local violences enacted on Indigenous people in this area. The Wilberforce Hotel by Sean Dixon spotlights the ghosts of the Wilberforce Settlement, Black settlers just outside London, Ontario, in the 1830s. Amal by MT Space is a collective creation about the Arab Spring in the early 2010s, and the ghosts of the migrants\u2019 ancestors that they attempt to bring with them to their new home in Kitchener, Ontario.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Izuu Nwankw\u1ecd, \u201cFrom Lagos with Love: Inua Ellams\u2019&nbsp;<em>Three Sisters<\/em>\u2019 Garbing of Chekhov in Danshiki\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>This paper explores Inua Ellams\u2019 innovative transposition of Anton Chekhov\u2019s Three Sisters into a Nigerian setting by taking the place and matter of action from pre-revolutionary Russia to late 1960s Nigeria, shortly before the Nigerian-Biafran War. Ellams\u2019 Three Sisters was staged in Toronto to high acclaim, becoming part of the meagre, albeit emergent Canada-Africa theatre connections. My examination of the play is centred around the motif of the danshiki\u2014a long flowing gown worn by men in parts of Nigeria\u2014used here to denotate the concurrent specificities of difference and sameness between Ellams\u2019 and Chekhov\u2019s texts, and how they figure in the imaginations of a multicultural North American performance setting. Consequently, this paper examines the universal themes of longing, displacement, and familial bonds that undergird the story structure for the initial Russian society, then the Nigerian environment in which the play is set, and for the multicultural Canadian audiences that saw the play staged at Soulpepper Theatre in March 2024. The methodological purview of the enquiry is hinged on performance and textual analyses coupled with perspectives drawn from performance and play adaptation theories as well as from postcolonial and decolonial studies. Through comparative interrogation of character, language, and particularities of staging, this paper posits Ellams\u2019 Three Sisters as one that enriches Chekhov\u2019s by eliciting newer epistemes and ways of seeing, in turn making the text more relevant and poignant for contemporary audiences regardless of whether they live in Canada or anywhere else.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-5\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Sungwon Cho<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Sungwon Cho (He\/They) is a PhD Candidate at York University&#8217;s Department of Social Anthropology and a theatre practitioner with a focus in directing.

In this paper, I address the conference\u2019s theme of interiority, and these topics: \u201cthe relationship between interiority and embodiment,\u201d and \u201cidentity work and the performance of self.\u201d I analyze works by Sigmund Freud, Jacques Derrida, Diana Taylor (The Archive and the Repertoire, and \u201cSave As\u201d) and other authors. Based on this analysis, I create a framework for understanding artists as embodied archives. I specifically examine autobiographical performance, in which artists use the creative process to manifest their \u201cinterior\u201d (ideas, values, life experiences, memories, thoughts, feelings, trauma\u2026) via the \u201cexterior act\u201d of performance. I apply this framework to Spalding Gray\u2019s Swimming to Cambodia. I compare the 1987 movie version to the 2002 live version that I witnessed in Los Angeles, which sadly revealed the artist\u2019s suffering at the time (Gray died by suicide in 2004). Gray\u2019s work is an example of how artists use the \u201cexterior act\u201d of performance to convey meaning and invite audiences into their \u201cinterior.\u201d The resulting bond may have lasting effects on the audience.

It complicates the interplay between interiority and embodiment, revealing a dynamic relationship that challenges traditional dichotomies of inner thought and outward expression. Drawing on Tim Ingold\u2019s exploration of \u201clines\u201d as emergent pathways shaped through interaction (2007), the essay considers how cycles of experimentation, reflection, and adjustment, much like desire lines that emerge over time, can illuminate the dynamic interplay between interiority and embodiment.<br>Building on Natalie Loveless\u2019s argument that research-creation generates knowledge through creative practice (2019), the essay explores how iterative methodologies position artistic processes as integral to understanding identity and performance. It also interrogates how these practices help bridge the gap between the transient nature of live performance and the permanence of recorded mediums. How might technological tools transform our understanding and documentation of embodied practices without diminishing the immediacy and intimacy of live performance? By exploring how performers negotiate these tensions, the essay highlights how Judith Butler\u2019s concept of performativity (1990) \u2013 as (gender) identity formed through repeated acts \u2013 resonates with iterative research.&nbsp;<br>Finally, the essay considers pedagogical implications, asking: How can iterative research, informed by Loveless\u2019s research-creation framework and technological interventions, guide the teaching of performance, encouraging both creative exploration and critical reflection? Blending traditional practices with innovative approaches, this paper constructs a framework for capturing and studying the ephemeral while expanding possibilities for knowledge creation in the field.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Sarah Waisvisz, \u201cCreating and Collaborating on the Edge (of the River): Symbiosis\/Symbiose in Action\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>My paper will give an overview and a state-of-the project reflection on a project that is \u201climinal\u201d in many ways.

Reckoning with an increasingly more emphatic turn towards authoritarianism in political life, and what Naomi Klein (2019) has termed \u2018climate barbarism,\u2019 we consider what it means to \u201cstay on the right side of an increasingly thin line\u2026 between wellness and malaise\u201d (Gallagher and Balt 1) and ask what performance can offer as a modality for living well (enough) in the midst of our myriad social, political, and ecological global discontents. Guiding the conversation will be the recently published (October 2024) edited collection, Global Climate Education and its Discontents: Using Drama to Forge a New Way. This book takes \u2018discontent\u2019 \u2013 restlessness, vexation, unease \u2013 as a productive disposition for troubling accepted, simple, and \u2018solutions-oriented\u2019 climate narratives.

However, working across such large terrain requires the actor to have a tremendous capacity for applying curriculum with refined introspection and extrospection skills. Here\u2019s the problem: acting education is predominantly an oral tradition, which largely neglects the opportunity for students to engage in documenting their approach and challenges students in recalling vast amounts of instruction from memory every time they create a new character. This workshop focuses on new curriculum and pedagogy for training actors; excerpts from a forthcoming acing book will be shared and workshopped. New acting terms will be presented and put into context for teaching. The primary audience of this book are first year acting students in post-secondary programs and this book also serves as a reference for instructors. With the diversity in learning needs and with the authors\u2019 experiences working with students with a range of abilities and disabilities, visual templates are often very useful to facilitate students\u2019 learning, improve their work habits, and provide a sense of agency in their work, which is extremely important, especially after they graduate and begin working as a professional. Many of these worksheets were created over a 10-year period and have been effective as a practical approach for acting and scene study. Acting\u2014as a technique, an art form, and an experience\u2014can be transformative. It is our belief that this transformation can only take place when an actor\u2019s creative process is focused.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-8\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Kara Flanagan<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Kara Flanagan is a PhD candidate (Education Studies Program) in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, Faculty of Education, University of Victoria with a research focus on acting and music education.

These digital repositories, often built on collaborative platforms, face complex issues at the intersection of technology, policy, and cultural heritage preservation (Rolan et al., 2020; Thorpe, 2024). The intersectionality and decentralized nature of community contributions raise questions about data ownership, access control, and long-term sustainability. Furthermore, the global reach of digital platforms conflicts with localized notions of data sovereignty (Gillespie, 2018), particularly for indigenous and marginalized communities.

As EL becomes increasingly valued and required within institutions, we believe that theatre offers a unique and valuable perspective as it already champions what is now identified as high-quality EL in meaningful ways. Yet, within the scholarship of EL, theatre is often overlooked despite this natural affinity. We aim to highlight the crucial role theatre plays in EL pedagogy and make visible how this already robust practice can have a larger impact on the academic community and beyond by highlighting its role in liminal contexts. Theatre has the opportunity to be recognized as a leader in curricular EL because of the practices, methods, and knowledges embedded in the discipline.&nbsp;<br><br>Using examples of two EL projects involving theatre students, non-theatre students and community collaborators, we will outline various possibilities and challenges for how theatre programs might influence institutional approaches to EL going forward. Both projects demonstrate how skills developed in theatre programs can be deployed in interdisciplinary EL projects centered on knowledge mobilization. In addition, both provided avenues for students to work outside their main disciplines and connect with the larger community beyond the university. While recognizing the potential for theatre approaches and skills to innovate EL models, we also point to conversations within theatre and performance studies around care, consent and ethical engagement with communities that might challenge some existing approaches to EL within universities.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Melanie Dreyer-Lude, \u201cFrom Outsider Artists to Insider Specialists: How Shifting the Message Can Help Save Theatre Programs\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Budgets cuts across the country are reducing student access to arts and humanities programs. Seen by many as optional, when a fiscal crisis hits, administrators and board members choose to jettison those programs that tend to underperform on the following metrics: 1. Number of students per class, 2. Number of majors, and 3. Full-time employment in the field within a few years of graduation. Theatre programs in Canada tend to fall short on all three of these performance metrics due to the specific characteristics of the discipline. It is not possible to use an Art for Art\u2019s sake strategy when arguing for the value of theatre education. What we need to do is flip the script. The transferable skills a theatre education provides are essential for employability in the contemporary job market. By getting outside of our departments and classrooms and adding more educational opportunities and workshops for those outside of the discipline, we can demonstrate the clear value of our educational stream to those who live and work outside of our normal spheres of influence. By teaching engineering students to use creative problem-solving, medical students to improve their interpersonal skills, and business students to shine in front of an audience, we can shift our status in the academy from a fringe specialization to an essential learning track that will help make all students more employable. This paper will offer specific strategies for helping make theatre programs essential to all students on campus.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-9\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Megan De Roover<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Megan De Roover is an Educational Developer with a Ph.D. in theatre and performance.

Part and parcel of the colonial agenda was the objective of erasing the cultural identity of Canada\u2019s diverse First Nations through a ban on speaking the great diversity of languages in residential schools. The Canadian Association for Theatre Research conference theme of \u2018interiority in general\u2019 spurs thoughts of how Western theatre tradition might serve as a door opener to the liminal space of re-learning one\u2019s language; that is simultaneously embodied, bound up and overlayed with layers of shame learned from historical colonial institutions. The Western theatre tradition, writ large, offers that open door through which Indigenous language learners\/actors step to create a delimited space to explore together and creatively center, elevate, and express their language learning. In this Round Table titled: &#8220;Staging our voices: Indigenous Language reawakening through Theatre&#8221; that brings together students of theatre, students of Indigenous languages, seasoned academics who also mentor Indigenous scholars using theatre to reawaken their own languages will discuss the ways theatre has emerged as a transformative medium for cultural expression and intergenerational learning.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-10\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Laura Cranmer<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Laura Cranmer was born to Pearl Weir of Old Masset, David Cranmer of the \u2018Namgis First Nation in Alert Bay, and raised by her grandparents, Chief Dan Cranmer and Agnes Cranmer.

Professionals with disabilities can likewise encounter barriers to access and participation. The intersection of ageism and ableism is still an emerging area of study. This paper\u2019s authors developed the community-engaged, Canada Council-funded intergenerational Creatus Project to explore these issues, holding that creative approaches have the potential to challenge existing ageist and ableist structures and practices, and open up opportunities for old(er) professionals and performers living with disabilities, and to create intergenerational connections which have the potential to shift the industry over time. This paper represents a performance analysis of a public sharing event devised by the Creatus Project\u2019s Playwriting and Creation working group. \u201cAgeing in the Performing Arts Test Kitchen\u201d was presented at Vancouver\u2019s Performing Arts Lodge. Using observations of the production, audience feedback, and participant brief reflections, we analyse how the performance employed creative accessibility strategies (including virtual participation), and shared content about ageism, ableism, and potential creative solutions related to design, directing, rehearsing and production, playwriting and devising, and institutional structures within the industry (e.g. unions, grant structures). We argue that the performance highlighted key issues related to the little-studied intersections of ageism and ableism in theatre, furthered practices of accessibility and inclusion, and foregrounded the importance of intergenerational approaches.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Willow Martin, \u201cInternally Motivated Performance Theory as Defined Through an Autistic Performance Tradition\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>As Western Performance traditions continue to develop, predominant methodologies remain rooted in the Aristotelian theories of realism. His central notion of the \u201cWell-Balanced\u201d narrative is rooted in its substantiation through an established singular \u201cReal\u201d by which it defines its credulity. In order to establish this singular \u201cReal\u201d, the tradition characterizes reality through an external, essentially visual, lens. In doing so, the tenets of the practice become enmeshed in empirical rigidity, and therefore ostracize any group outside the normative experience. As a result, contemporary performance traditions isolate diverse experiences, and when attempting to portray these realities, reinforce harmful stereotypes which characterize traits through an external perspective. In defining neuro-diverse traditions, this aspect of practice becomes essential, as much of the process of identity building, and therein large parts of what Aristotle labels the plot structure, happen internally. Therefore, large parts of neuro-diverse narratives become obscured from histories, or remain entirely untold. This paper asserts a claim to an Autistic performance tradition through conversation with the seminal Aristotelian text, Poetics, as well as excerpts from Plato\u2019s Republic. Performing a cross-examination with the journey of \u201cNorma Khan\u201d, the Autistic deuteragonist of the animated show Dead End: Paranormal Park, this paper questions and problematizes the history and trajectory of realist performance traditions. As Autistic identities are largely defined by \u201cco-productions\u201d of mimesis (as characterized by Katrina Dunn): this paper centralizes the idea of hybrid, internally motivated, uniquely embodied sensorial definitions of \u201cReal\u201d, and thereby establishes the foundation for an Autistic performance tradition.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Jessica Watkin, Macy Siu, Leslie Ting, and Blythe Haynes, \u201cAnchoring Accessibility: Developing Meaningful Accessibility in Theatre Practice\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>In the past ten years there has been a growing desire to incorporate accessibility and Disabled audiences and artists into Canadian theatre, but not many tools to achieve this goal.

This article considers origins and trajectories of Colombian community theatre starting from the 1960s. While methods such as Nuevo Teatro and Theatre of the Oppressed have come to dominate the Latin American theatre cannon, we show how the influential ideas of Augusto Boal and Enrique Buenaventura were shaped through dialogue and exchange with collages who are much less known. We examine debates from the 70s about whether \u201cteatro popular\u201d was by or for \u201cthe people\u2019, which have evolved into a contemporary commitment to working in community (from inside rather than outside). We consider key international encounters that occurred at regional festivals like the Festival de Manizales, which was a laboratory for the development of an anti-hegemonic Latin American theatre. Despite the extrajudicial persecution of \u201cleftist\u201d artists carried out across the region during the 80s, aggressive commercialization, and persistent institutional amnesia regarding creative practices of resistance, we find that \u201cpopular\u201d theatre has endured by adapting to changing (now neoliberal) contexts, becoming \u201ccommunity theatre\u201d in the 90s. We highlight the work of three active Colombian groups with long-term trajectories: Teatro Experimental de Fontib\u00f3n (Bogot\u00e1), Nuestra Gente de Medell\u00edn, and Esquina Latina (Cali). All show a commitment to transgenerational collaboration and have proven resilient in contexts that are often life-or-death. This brings us to a Latin American understanding of applied theatre based in building affective connections and repairing torn social fabrics.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Mika Lillit Lior, \u201cBarravento: Liminal Tensions between Interior and Exterior Landscapes of Gendered Authority in an Afro-Brazilian Ritual Performance\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Barravento, which translates literally to a turning wind or wind that knocks you over, is a choreographic movement as well as signal of an oncoming entity in the traditionally woman-dominated Afro-Brazilian ritual matrix of Candombl\u00e9.

Participants will be educational developers and faculty members with theatre backgrounds currently developing pedagogical and training workshops, programs, and initiatives that draw on theatre skills. Topics may include using new play dramaturgy techniques in feedback and assessment in written work, stage management as a model for academic service and administration, and improvisation in training teaching assistants and first-time course instructors. The session will begin with five-minute lightning talks from participants based on their current pedagogical work. The second half of the session will consist of a moderated discussion between panelists and audience members who may ask questions or offer insights into these projects.&nbsp;<br>At present, we have three members from an inter-institutional theatre pedagogy working group (UBC, U of T, Brock, TMU, and Concordia) who are interested in participating in this round table. We will also invite three additional participants via an open call circulated to CATR members and the broader instructional design community. We are particularly interested in inviting graduate students and\/or early career instructors who may be able to speak to their current and recent experience in pedagogical training and development with respect to theatre and performance training.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- tagora-activity-container__long-description -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n<\/div><h4 class=\"tabtitle\">Ressources et mots-cl\u00e9s<\/h4>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tagora-activity-container__links\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora-activity-container__links -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h5>Mots-cl\u00e9s <\/h5>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tagora-activity-container__tags\">\n\t\t\t\tS\u00e9ries: <a target='_blank' href=\"https:\/\/theatreagora.ca\/fr\/eventseries\/catr-2025-conference\/\" rel=\"tag\">CATR 2025 Conference<\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora-activity-container__tags -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tagora-activity-container__tags\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora-activity-container__tags -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora activity panel -->\n\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora activity-container__bottom -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- tagora-activity-container -->\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"event-block\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tagora-activity-container farewell-event inperson \" data-eventaccessibility=\"\" data-eventformat=\"In-person\" data-eventtype=\"Farewell Event\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"tagora-activity-container__top\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tagora-activity-container__left\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-info\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"tagora__pill\"><a target='_blank' href=\"https:\/\/theatreagora.ca\/fr\/eventformat\/in-person\/\" rel=\"tag\">In-person<\/a> <\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"tagora-activity__time\">\n          <h4 style=\"font-size: 22.5px;\">20 juin, 2024<\/h4>\n          <h4 style=\"margin-top: 1.5rem;\"><strong>18:00 &#8211;

In solo performer productions one actor becomes the focal point for an entire audience and this actor\u2019s ability to embody a multitude of characters and experiences often becomes the defining feature of such a performance. Visual dramaturgical practices offer support for these individual performers and enrich these productions. Designers, directors, and playwrights collaborate in the visual world to create emotional and highly personal landscapes on which audiences can project their own lived experiences. By weaving such a container, a solo performer production can be transformed into a breathing co-created experience which subverts audience expectations. Using three case studies from my practice of original Canadian productions I will share the techniques and dramaturgical considerations which have enabled me and my collaborators to build sophisticated emotional spaces which move beyond the literal. Whether it\u2019s including the presence of a character\u2019s lost mother as a link to her buried cultural birth-right, bringing the voice of the landscape into dialogic relation with the onstage characters, or conjuring the heated memories of childhood to create a Middle Eastern spark within a Canadian blizzard, I will demonstrate how liminal scenic environments conjured through the integration of projected media and solo performers can allow the intimate exploration of deeply personal topics and make them emotionally accessible for audiences. These case studies deal intimately with the intersection of land, identity, and (prairie) culture.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Hope McIntyre, \u201cTearing Down Walls Between Inside and Outside: Theatre in Rural Prison Settings\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>The Walls to Bridges program is a unique national initiative which brings students from campus into carceral settings to learn alongside incarcerated students. We refer to them as outside students and inside students to negate any us versus them mentality. In this way everyone is a co-learner in the space. In relation to the conference theme, the definition of inside and outside takes on additional meaning in a situation where certain individuals are often excluded from participation. Prisons are also intentionally removed from urban centres and separated geographically from access to participation in society. I teach at Stony Mountain Institution a 20-minute drive from Winnipeg and the Women\u2019s Correctional Centre 10 minutes from the perimeter of Winnipeg but clearly outside the city limits.&nbsp;<br><br>Courses such as Applied Theatre and Playwriting, have been characterized by the students as life changing. This is due to the experience of learning and creating theatre in this unique environment. Exploring other uses of theatre in prisons in Canada is part of current research work to find a model to sustain ongoing theatre practices within the reality of correctional centres located in a rural prairie location.&nbsp;<br><br>This paper will present information on the work to remove barriers and create a liminal space where theatre is used to bring together those generally separated by both physical barriers as well as social bias. How do we create an oasis of creativity within a political institution? How can theatre and theatrical learning create a brave space where divisions are dismantled?<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Sara Schroeter and j skelton, \u201cSeen Elsewhere: Queer and Trans Identities as a Place of Liminal Belonging on the Prairie Stage\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>There is of course queer and trans theatre here, in Saskatchewan. There are drag shows, an Imperial Court, stage performances such as Creepy Boys (2024) and artists such as The Care Bois who use the whole public buildings as their stage (2023). Art Babayants\u2019 multilingual play Bros \/ Les gars \/ \u0531\u056d\u057a\u0565\u0580\u0576\u0565\u0580 was staged by La troupe du jour in 2022, the same year S\u00e2k\u00eaw\u00eawak the Indigenous Storytelling festival\u2019s chosen theme was two-spirit identities. There is an insider quality to the queer and trans theatre of here &#8211; we are telling our stories to each other, insisting on our own belonging, comforting ourselves.<br><br>And, there are queer and trans stories of here that are perhaps too big for here. Too queer, too trans, too ready to tell a prairie audience about itself. Theatre that to be successful becomes multiply outsider theatre, telling queer and trans prairie stories to audiences of mixed sexual orientations and gender identities in the metropolis (places like Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal). Plays like Ayache\u2019s The Hooves Belonged to the Deer, that debuted at Toronto\u2019s Tarragon Theatre, in 2023, telling the tale of a queer Muslim boy on the prairies.&nbsp;<br><br>Queerness, transness, and prairie already hold each other in tension. There is already a liminality there, always, already on the horizon (Mu\u00f1os, 2009), always already becoming other. This paper will explore this tension, the challenges of needing to travel elsewhere to see queer and trans prairie stores writ large, the possibilities for critique that come with distance, and the possibilities for queer and trans futurity here.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-13\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">T.

While the sport is celebrated for its spectacular performances, with gymnasts flipping in dazzling leotards and striving for gold, behind the spectacle lies a system of stringent expectations defined by the Code of Points (CoP) and reinforced by coaches. These pressures compel athletes to perform a prescribed version of themselves that conforms to ideals of whiteness, heterosexuality, femininity, able-bodiedness, \u201cmental toughness,\u201d and the appearance of a healthy gymnast. The \u201cperfect gymnast\u201d ideal leaves no room for autonomy, and those who do not meet these standards face deductions from judges and often abusive reprimands from coaches.<br><br>Although these enforced versions may help athletes succeed, I argue they are dangerous and harmful. The pressure to conform can fragment a gymnast\u2019s sense of self, making it difficult to connect with their identity both within and outside the sport. Drawing on performance studies scholar Richard Schechner\u2019s discussion of the various types of performance in Performance Studies: An Introduction, and Tobin Siebers\u2019 concept of the \u2018versions\u2019 of disability\u2014where disabled people often \u2018pass\u2019 as able-bodied to navigate an ableist world\u2014I apply these frameworks to gymnastics to explore how athletes are pressured to perform narrow and damaging versions of themselves.<br><br>Through (auto)ethnographic methods and discourse analysis, I examine how these versions are produced and their impact on gymnasts\u2019 lives. I also discuss how toxic training environments, combined with abuse by coaches and medical professionals, force athletes to compete while injured, emotionally drained, and mentally unwell. This culture of fear and control demands that athletes embody the &#8220;perfect gymnast&#8221; at great personal cost, which is held up by the code.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Arash Isapour, \u201cInterior Dissent, Exterior Conformity: Staging Liminal Masculinities in Itai Erdal&#8217;s Theatre\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>This paper examines how Israeli-Canadian theatre artist Itai Erdal&#8217;s autobiographical works This is Not a Conversation (2016) and Soldiers of Tomorrow (2023) negotiate the complex tension between interior resistance and exterior conformity in representing Middle Eastern masculinities. Through metatheatrical devices\u2014breaking the fourth wall, role-playing, self-reflexive narration\u2014and dramaturgical choices including minimalist staging, strategic use of personal artifacts, and embodied storytelling, Erdal creates a theatrical space where the boundaries between personal critique and public performance become productively unstable.<br>Drawing on Erdal&#8217;s unique position as both insider and outsider\u2014former IDF soldier turned critical artist\u2014the paper analyzes how his staging choices reflect the tension between belonging and exclusion. His placement of performers, use of military uniforms as memory objects, and carefully orchestrated movement sequences reveal theatre&#8217;s capacity to both challenge and reinforce cultural stereotypes. While his theatrical techniques successfully construct a nuanced portrayal of non-conformist Israeli masculinity, this achievement paradoxically comes at the expense of other masculine identities, which remain fixed in simplified exterior representations. The research demonstrates how contemporary Canadian intercultural theatre negotiates the complex interplay between personal resistance and collective conformity, contributing to broader discussions about representation, identity formation, and theatre&#8217;s role in challenging dominant narratives.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Ihuoma Okorie, \u201cThe In-Between Self: Exploring Interior and Exterior Spaces in&nbsp;<em>The Cut Across<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>This paper examines how interior and exterior spaces inform the performance of identity in &#8220;The Cut Across&#8221;, a theatrical production staged at Bayero University Kano, Nigeria. It investigates the interplay of identity and spatial dynamics, drawing on Erving Goffman&#8217;s theory of identity performance, and the liminal tensions that distinguish these spaces. Using data from the performance of &#8221; The Cut Across &#8220;, the study focuses on how the transition of the protagonists identity is influenced by spatial elements, providing insights into how interiority and exteriority shape identity work and the enactment of self. Grounded in a social constructivist framework, which posits that identity emerges through the social and cultural systems within which roles are performed, this study highlights the role of performance spaces in recognizing and reshaping the protagonists potential and agency. The findings reveal that these spatial dynamics contribute to transforming and challenging female identities in the play. The study concludes that identity has profound implications for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-14\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Jenn Boulay<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Jenn is an emerging interdisciplinary performance artist\/creator, playwright, performer, singer-songwriter, musician, theatre reviewer, and scholar.

Macdonald statue stood until 2021. The reparative removal of this statue is significant in recognition of its damaging impact tied to projects of settler colonial violence Macdonald spearheaded, and his long-unquestioned position as a Canadian icon. However, the absence of such statues does not erase the harms they perpetuated, nor those caused by the figures they represent. Further, as this site demonstrates, everyday spaces are littered with referents of settler colonial whiteness that garner much less, if any, scrutiny, while often acting as \u201cnarratives of truth\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;that nonetheless inform policies, practices and beliefs. The third performance My third performance at this site, remains addresses the absence-presence of monuments after their removal and shines a light on less prominent trappings of settler colonial memory that linger, while implicating myself, as a white settler, in both.&nbsp;<br><br>In this paper I consider through-lines of interior and exterior, and the affective potential of implicated embodiment and relational interaction within liminal spaces between performer, place and audience\/participants. It also brings remains into conversation with works that engage with the John A. Macdonald statue in Regina and its absence, including M\u00e9tis artist and writer David Garneau\u2019s Dear John; Louis David Riel (2014) and settler artist Tomas Jonsson\u2019s Stone in the Shoe (2021).<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Fraser Stevens, \u201cPerforming Secrets\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Secrets are, at their core, a performance of both something that is, and something that is not.

The satirical play reflects on COVID-19 pandemic injustices, following protagonists through hospitals in history and the future, ending in an AI-imagined Moon Hospital that highlights future societal conflicts. The article examines AI as a creative tool for playwrights, investigating the boundaries of AI-generated content and its incorporation of future predictions.<br>The study finds AI tends to conform to societal values, acting as a passive assistant in interpreting human dissatisfaction. It speculates on the impact of a superintelligent AI seeking absolute righteousness, potentially reducing humans to &#8220;rabbits&#8221; under strict order. The paper also details AI&#8217;s role in translation, promotion, graphic design, and fundraising during production.

But does it? This arts-based research presented as a theatrical play show how online and in-person engagement can function to promote different principles of government control and regulation. While I watch a political drama on Netflix alone in my pajamas and yell at the TV, I get no response. In contrast, my night out at the theatre included conversations in the lobby bar, joint applause, and talk-backs\u2014the influence of patrons\u2019 voices clearly heard in theatre\u2019s aesthetic drama. As I participate in an online stakeholder engagement session, muted, with no video or chat, I muse whether Netflix infiltrated a government regulatory talk when this \u201csocial drama\u201d (Schechner, 1988, p. 215) is clearly using Schechner\u2019s hidden staging techniques to drive political actions. Upon waking up in the middle of a political debate in my Netflix show, I wonder what political action will be taken to exert control over their stakeholders? In my fictional play, I argue that online platforms (e.g., Zoom, MS Teams) have the power to promote autocratic forms of government which undermine democratic societies by controlling and restricting the delivery of information to a muted, isolated audience, resulting in oppression of countering arguments and inequity in representation. I argue that theatre as a model for engagement and Hamilton and Chon\u2019s (2023) dramaturgical framework for advocacy offer a structure to uphold Dewey\u2019s (1916\/2018) democratic principles in the education system, government, and society.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-16\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Nick Fangzhen<\/span>g<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> Wang<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"http:\/\/fangzhengwang.com\/\">Nick Fangzheng Wang is an independent director, actor, and playwright in Toronto and Calgary.

I am serving as director and dramaturg.<br>The play dramatizes a transformational night in the lives of the researchers, when they all ingest LSD and embark on a journey into the interior space of a psychedelic journey. Before and after this trip, they discuss the challenges of treating mental illness, the values of public health care, and how to integrate these substances into a Western medical environment. While this period of study was arrested by the banning of psychedelic drug use in the 1960s, this historical period in Saskatchewan\u2019s past offers guidance for our own era\u2019s Psychedelic Renaissance.&nbsp;<br>Exploring this unique period of our own past, this project will see playwright, director, and a company of six actors investigate the text during a series of \u2018open rehearsals\u2019 during the conference, concluding with a performance of the script-in-development followed by a conversation with the playwright, Arthur Milner. We anticipate that holding this space of an \u2018open rehearsal\u2019 workshop activates the subtext of the conference, \u2018Staging the Liminal\u2019, by doing just this \u2013 staging the in-between of new script and full production &#8211; offering a glimpse into new play development in contemporary Canada.<br>Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, this workshop will continue the development seen throughout the 2024\/2025 season, including a reading in Saskatoon at Persephone Theatre hosted by Sum Theatre and one at the Mackenzie Art Gallery in Regina. This project requires limited technical support by embracing the workshop nature of our proposal.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biography\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biography<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Jonathan Seinen<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Jonathan Seinen is a theatre director, actor, creator, producer, and scholar.

in the hands of the actor\/dancer scene partner, or as a scene partner being passed, amidst improvisation. Through this praxis process workshop: we will facilitate a range of emergent approaches towards problem-finding as a dramaturgical approach to making, viewing, recording and shaping as we move, dance and observe; the outside-inside eye.&nbsp;<br><br>How can a recording device in the hands of the improvising performer, enhance critical choreographic choices in moment-to-moment or retrospective decision-making in creative practice? The historical landscape of moving image includes a vibrant narrative of dance on screen, dance film, dance and camera, which highlight the similarities between choreographic and cinematic practices. Historically the similarities between choreographic and cinematic structures reveal a compatibility of the forms we apply to live and digital performance outcomes. As scholars and artists, we turn to moving image pioneers for provocations and subsequent contemporary contextualisation around making moving image with moving bodies, via dramaturgical inquiry.<br><br>In this workshop, the maker, mover, and scene partner in all roles at once, acts as instigator and provocateur, with dramaturgical approaches to improvisation that open perspectives otherwise not considered. Perhaps it is how we as moving\/image\/makers react to discoveries at the moment, or as retrospective possibilities that open investigations on moving image and performance praxis as a form of choreographic camera dramaturgy.<br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-17\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Andrew Denton<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Andrew Denton (PhD) is an artist, filmmaker and scholar who is the inaugural director for the School for the Arts at The University of Saskatchewan.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Jennifer Nikolai<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Jennifer Nikolai\u2019s (PhD) practice-oriented methods are grounded in over two decades of experience as a performance studies scholar, researcher and teacher in the tertiary sector.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- tagora-activity-container__long-description -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n<\/div><h4 class=\"tabtitle\">Ressources et mots-cl\u00e9s<\/h4>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tagora-activity-container__links\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora-activity-container__links -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h5>Mots-cl\u00e9s <\/h5>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tagora-activity-container__tags\">\n\t\t\t\tS\u00e9ries: <a target='_blank' href=\"https:\/\/theatreagora.ca\/fr\/eventseries\/catr-2025-conference\/\" rel=\"tag\">CATR 2025 Conference<\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora-activity-container__tags -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tagora-activity-container__tags\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora-activity-container__tags -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora activity panel -->\n\t\t\t<\/div><!-- tagora activity-container__bottom -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- tagora-activity-container -->\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading tagora-activity-container has-buttons-text-color has-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background\">Break\/Pause &#8211;

A man in a desert is taunted by a mysterious offstage force, and by the play\u2019s end, the man lies motionless on the ground. The meaning of the play depends on how we read the man\u2019s decision not to act in these final moments; that is, whether this inaction is an instance of despair or defiance.\u00a0In Josh Rice\u2019s 2024 play\u00a0<em>Kayfabe<\/em>, Beckett\u2019s play meets two unlikely interlocutors: professional wrestling and puppetry. The puppet protagonist of\u00a0<em>Kayfabe\u00a0<\/em>is Dr. Kiss, a professional wrestler coveting the heavyweight champion belt of Puppet Wrestling Entertainment (this play\u2019s version of WWE). But the joyously goofy antics of this puppet wrestler are explicitly framed by the beats and images of Beckett\u2019s play, lending the piece existential weight. In this paper, I will explore the ways\u00a0<em>Kayfabe\u00a0<\/em>mobilizes the contradictions and tensions present in puppetry and professional wrestling in order to play with various interpretations of Beckettian inaction or futility. If, as Claudia Orenstein writes, \u201ca puppet\u00a0<em>being\u2026<\/em>is in some sense always a puppet\u00a0<em>doing<\/em>\u201d (22), the puppet becomes an ideal vessel for reflections on the power and danger of inaction. In Rice\u2019s play, the parameters of \u201caction\u201d are expanded in ways that illuminate both Beckett\u2019s original play and puppetry\u2019s foundational principles<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Emilia Fox Hillyer, \u201cObjects &amp; Objectives: Tensions in Transgender Community-Engaged Puppetry\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Puppetry\u2019s transformative potential empowers marginalized groups dealing with selfhood in environments hostile to expressions of identity. These projects do not effectively research what it means to work with transgender participants in an applied theatre setting. My paper addresses this issue by bringing forth a project within which transgender participants explore narratives as co-conspirators with objects, imagine a queer utopia by animating the object inhabitants of that world, and mobilize to create new mutualistic perspectives via the collective creation of artwork. An ensemble of participants from the transgender community construct performing objects and a puppet performance centered around their experiences. We generate content via playmaking and puppetry techniques, culminating in a performance constructed from devised work. I compare our findings to the work of scholars and puppeteers like Aja Marneweck and Peter Schumann, in order to prove transgender populations are some of the most ideal populations for applied puppetry. The negative privilege of puppet theatre and its subversion of monumental history; the successes of puppetry as an accessible community-engaged art form; and the learning outcomes of the often objectified transgender community from the wisdom of objects\u2019 interiority all support my claim further research is necessary. This project, by examining puppetry and participant-led theatre for a transgender population sheds new light on the performance of self, the interiority of objects and transgender people, and the liminal tension between genders, and the animate\/inanimate.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Mai Kanzaki, \u201cMiniaturized Representation of Canada\u2019s Diversity at the Canada Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Expo 2025 Osaka will be held in 2025, 55 years after the previous Osaka Expo. Robert Lepage (1957-), an internationally acclaimed Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois theatre director, has been appointed the artistic advisor of the Canada Pavilion for the event. Although he has demonstrated his long-term interest in World Fairs through his creations, such as The Seven Streams of the River Ota (1994), N\u00f4 (1998) and The Andersen Project (2005), this is his first involvement with the creative team of Canada Pavilion.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lepage is fascinated by Expos as they are \u201cminiature worlds\u201d that allow people \u201cto understand things in a very global way in a small space\u201d (Lepage, 2024). In the limited space of the Canada Pavilion, Lepage aims to showcase the vast territory of Canada and its \u201ccomplex\u201d and \u201cdiversified\u201d society. Miniaturization reminds the audience of his masterpiece 887, which premiered in 2015. His technique of miniaturized representation also resonates with the landscape of Japan. Through the Canada Pavilion, Lepage will manipulate \u201cthe idea of scale\u201d to capture the expanse of Canada.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This presentation examines how the Canada Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka will miniaturize Canada\u2019s vast landscape and exteriorize the country\u2019s diverse society for the local Japanese audience.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-18\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Dawn Tracey Brandes<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Dr. Dawn Tracey Brandes is an Instructor in the Fountain School of Performing Arts and an Assistant Dean in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Where existing scholarship on this book focuses on the text, largely arguing it contains Griffiths\u2019s authoritative voice, in this paper I shift the object of study to the process of the project. Seeking Campbell\u2019s voice held in archives brings her perspective into the study of this intercultural theatre collaboration. The Book of Jessica was created within theatre methods created by settler descendants, the collective creation method as directed by Paul Thompson, yet overlooking Campbell\u2019s dedication to the project has led to inadvertently missing the important representation of her life in Jessica.<br>Exploring archival remnants of this process and the conversations between Campbell and Griffiths form the core of this paper. Campbell suggested they record their conversations, taking this intercultural relationship to embodied interaction which is \u201ckey to the production of knowledge in Indigenous cultures,\u201d and away from Thompson\u2019s collective creation methods (Morra 19). Therefore, I first attend to Campbell\u2019s discussion of \u201cthe abyss\u201d between herself and Griffiths (22). Second, listening to Campbell\u2019s thoughts on the project sheds light on why she helped to create Jessica using her autobiography. Jessica is Campbell\u2019s \u201cgift\u201d to her community, the story of a M\u00e9tis woman finding her voice by reconnecting with her past (125). By considering the entirety of their conversations rather than taking The Book of Jessica as final product I argue, with Yvette Nolan\u2019s discussion of the play, that the relationship between Campbell and Griffiths demonstrates the need to consider this collaborative process as an ever-rippling process.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>\u2022&nbsp;Allen Baylosis, <em>\u201cPerforming Filipinx Canadian on the Vancouver Stage in a Post-Pandemic Diasporic Present\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>This paper seeks to respond to the question posed ten years ago: \u201cIs there Asian Canadian theatre in Vancouver?\u201d By curating a list of Filipinx Canadian theatre and performances staged in Vancouver in the post-pandemic diasporic present, this paper asserts that such transformative efforts against the concept of \u201cmuseumization\u201d allow us to reexamine the emergence and efflorescence of new Filipinx Canadian performative forms.

Critic Urjo Kareda wrote then that there is a \u201cspecial grace in the images of this building\u2019s past, in time-stopped photos of firemen, touching displays of old equipment. Here, we feel, is a civilized, authoritative environment for theatre-going.\u201d Alumnae\u2019s history would now be entwined with the building\u2019s first-responder history. They saved an elegant building from demolition by creating the city\u2019s newest theatre; at the same time, they fell victim to accusations of being increasingly outdated in an obsolete edifice. As the youthful baby-boom generation were beginning to redefine theatre practices and audiences in North American cities, the trendsetting \u201cAlumnae\u201d and their new old building became one and the same: a nostalgia house.<br><br>Now in their 107th year, Alumnae is North America\u2019s longest running women-led theatre group.

As I led each solo spectator hand in hand through every corner of the complex\u2019s outdoor and indoor public spaces, we followed an invisible line of liminal space between life and death, between past and present, walking my father\u2019s very last steps. The recorded track, that both the spectator and I were listening to as we were holding hands, exposed my grieving process intertwined with critical accounts of the site\u2019s many transformations, digging through layers of history as if we were walking outside of a particular time. The disappearance of an entire block in a disadvantaged neighbourhood, the political upheavals following an inauguration led by Montreal\u2019s economical elite: my father\u2019s ghost was doubled by the former mayor\u2019s ghost, the public sphere encompassing my personal narrative. The headphones were paired with binaural microphones, which enabled mixing the live sound environment with the recording, creating an eerie effect of disembodiment, as if I was communicating through telepathy. The performance ended in a quiet space, to encourage intimate conversations.&nbsp;<br>Many spectators shared their own bereavement stories before leaving. This intimate encounter with each of them also felt like crossing a boundary we rarely transgress in our relationship with audiences.&nbsp; I hereby suggest that interiorities were traded to become part of an ad-hoc community of bereaved wanderers.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022 Andy Houston, Brooke Barnes, and Joanna Cleary, \u201cIn the Liminal Space of Fantasy, Denial, and Retail at the Mall: The Making of&nbsp;<em>Mall of<\/em> <em>Maladaptive Dreaming<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>In early 2020, members of WOOMcollaborative sought inspiration for a performance project at a mall. This mall exists in the middle of Waterloo, Ontario. Similar to most malls in mid-sized cities in Canada, this mall was\u2014and still is\u2014dying. This death cycle seemed intriguing as a creative resource; when the COVID pandemic hit, it seemed all encompassing. For two years, we labored to realize and animate aspects of this retail landscape that addressed the very real feel of precarity we all faced. This labor assumed a form of dramaturgy that materialized the liminal space between the mall\u2019s built environment and the natural landscape upon which it exists, between collaborators and their lived experience of retail, and ultimately between our performance practices (writing, acting, video and soundscape creation) and the practices of retail.<br><br>At the core of our practice on this project is a concern for how the liminal space of misery and exploitation may exist within the euphoric fantasy and retail reality of the mall. Most retail in the 21st century, especially with almost all of it online, exists because people have the capacity to fantasize. Fantasy designates our \u2018impossible\u2019 relationship to the person, thing, or lifestyle that we most desire. What fantasy stages is not a scene in which desire is fulfilled, fully satisfied, but on the contrary, a scene that realizes\u2014that stages\u2014desire as such. *Mall of Maladaptive Dreaming* attempted to realize this highly theatrical liminal space of retail in this form of yearning.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Liam Monaghan, \u201cThe Architecture of Adaptation: Dramatizing the Lives of Arthur Erickson and Francisco Kripacz\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Arthur Erickson (1924-2009) is perhaps Canada\u2019s most celebrated architect. While his buildings made him famous, the story of his equally extraordinary private life\u2014especially his partnership in work and love with the interior designer Francisco Kripacz (1042-2000)\u2014is far less well known. David Stouck is author of Arthur Erickson: An Architect\u2019s Life (2012), but much remains to be investigated in Kripacz\u2019s uniquely enigmatic biography. To help revitalize Canada\u2019s queer and architectural histories for both scholarly and public audiences, I am writing the first-ever dramatic adaptation of Erickson and Kriapcz\u2019s story.&nbsp;<br><br>At CATR, I will outline the project and describe my research-creation process, which includes (1) secondary research and primary archival research; (2) adapting my findings using documentary\/verbatim methods; and (3) experimenting with devising and scenographic techniques to dramaturgically recreate Erickson\u2019s architectural aesthetic, especially in a planned April 2025 workshop with director Mia van Leeuwen. I may also share a short excerpt of the script as well as future directions for the piece.&nbsp;<br><br>CATR\u2019s conference theme, On Interiority, resonates with my project. The play explores the liminality of architectural space, especially as practiced by Erickson, who sought to integrate site and building, and especially as translated into mise-en-sc\u00e8ne. It historicizes and interrogates the phenomenon of the queer open secret within a mid-century Canadian milieu. And the play activates the theoretical paradoxes of dramatic biographical adaptation, which seeks, through necessarily artificial forms and exogenous performer\/author perspectives, to get inside the phenomenological truths of past experiences.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-21\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">M\u00e9lanie Binette<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>M\u00e9lanie Binette is an interdisciplinary artist, performer and researcher.

Research methodology is guided by the field of folkloristics, and aims to highlight the seemingly mundane through viewpoints shared by those who work in the industry. The analysis is influenced by literature from the field of Folklore and Performance Studies, and finds its theoretical bases in performance theory, through exploration of the manifest bodily expressions of this occupational group\u2019s tradition. With an emphasis on spotlighting the voices of career technicians, this paper analyzes the liminality of live performance venues mid-pandemic shutdown, and how ghost lights became iconographic of theatre workers\u2019 grief and creative response to hardship. Ultimately, these expressions problematize how we define who is an insider and who is an outsider to cultural practices, and how important spaces and objects, such as the theatre and the ghost light, can not only contribute to a definition of community, but become a part of it.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Jacob Pittini, \u201cThinking Outside the Box: Shifting Audience Spaces at SummerWorks Performance Festival 2024\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>In PLAY: Dramaturgies of Participation, Jenn Stephenson and Mariah Horner explain how in some participatory performances \u201cwe experience the effects of seeing the world afresh through our active engagement in it\u201d (11). This paper will consider what can happen when performances move participants inside outside, into the world. To do so I will reflect upon three performances I attended in August as part of the 2024 SummerWorks Performance Festival in Toronto: AWAKE &amp; STILL DROWNING, Home Buddies and Sur-Veil Salon.&nbsp;&nbsp;I read these performances as liminal in how they combine the space of the performance with the space of the real world and move audiences outside conventional theatre settings.&nbsp;<br><br>In Gareth White\u2019s Audience Participation in Theatre: Aesthetics of the Invitation, he writes how in immersive theatre \u201can audience inhabits and moves through the space of a performance rather than sitting outside it\u201d (170). This paper will explore this act of inhabiting and moving outside, being immersed in the frame of a performance while also immersed outside of it simultaneously. Employing dramaturgies of roving and virtual reality, these performances transport audiences elsewhere, whether physically by moving outside, or digitally through VR-headsets. Such movement renders participants drifters, \u201cactively engaged with the environment in a disciplined way\u201d (Bradby and Lavery 47). This paper will consider the embodied properties of these experiences and how they creatively position audiences in communities broader than those attending the performances and in relation to social concerns such as climate change, housing crisis and living in a surveillance state.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Alessandro Simari, \u201cDinner and a Show: Theatre, Food, and Capital Circulation\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Extant studies at the intersection of food and theatre have primarily been interested in the signifying power of food on stage (Chansky and White) or the theatricalization of food especially as part of haute-cuisine (Hunt). More generally, we are most used to causally describing the relationship between food and theatre as one enjoined primarily through practices of consumption: theatre and food are commodities that are made to be consumed, and the performing arts are replete with metaphors that relate the amorously connoted consumption practices of both. However, the relationship between commercial theatre and agribusiness goes beyond the not insignificant social act of consuming food before, during, or in the time in-between performances. Using Medival Times and the string of restaurants formerly operated by Mirvish Productions alongside their King Street theatres in Toronto as catalysts, this paper discusses how the ideal average productive operations of commercial theatre are parasitically or symbiotically connected to the restaurant industry and that shape both performance aesthetics and labour practices, all oriented towards the goal of commercial performance: that is, hastening the circuit of theatrical capital.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-23\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Charlotte Peters<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Charlotte Peters (she\/her) is an early-career stage manager and scenic painter from Southern Ontario.

This topic continues to provoke debate &#8211; see&nbsp;\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/todigra.org\/index.php\/todigra\/article\/view\/1701\">In Defence of a Magic Circle: The Social, Mental and Cultural Boundaries of Play<\/a>\u201d, where Stenros unpacks the concept of the magic circle, its criticism and the numerous other metaphors that have been used to capture the zone of play or the border that surrounds it. Theatre scholars will recognize it as a play frame, not unlike theatre\u2019s \u2018proscenium,\u2019 for its ability to change the meaning of the actions inside of it. As boundaries of play continue to shift alongside our media and the gamification of performance, new defences, skepticisms, or transformations of the magic circle might be offered from a theatrical perspective.<br>When read through the language and theory of games, participatory performance becomes an experientially rich site to interrogate, rehearse, and transform systems, relationships, and the roles we play in a collective ecosystem. Through invitation, audiences become active agents with the ability to shift between their roles as spectator, player, co-author, and labourer within a reciprocal network.<br>This roundtable investigates the intersection of games and theatre, focusing on fricative moments where the world of the game\/performance and exterior life overlap. We hope to spark a necessary collective interdisciplinary inquiry into new gameful dramaturgies, and approaches to framing play.<br>Through participation in this roundtable, we invite members of the CATR\/ACRT community to explore the following questions and provoke new ones:<br><strong>\u2022<\/strong> How does play inside the magic circle impact the ways in which we play together outside, and vice versa?<br><strong>\u2022<\/strong> When does the magic circle become blurred and perforated, or abandoned altogether?<br><strong>\u2022<\/strong> How do play frames invite collective displays of care?<br><strong>\u2022<\/strong> Can games help us negotiate new social contracts with audiences?<br><br>At our Roundtable, panel participants will present a brief case study about their research topics and then we will facilitate a larger discussion.

Drawing on postcolonial theory alongside decolonial methodologies, digital anthropology and ethnography, the research explores artivism\u2019s role in resisting systemic injustices, sustaining marginalized communities, igniting revolutionary movements, and reclaiming cultural identities eroded by colonial legacies.<br>Through case studies of movements such as Nigeria\u2019s #EndSARS, the United States\u2019 Black Lives Matter, Bangladesh\u2019s mass uprisings and Canada\u2019s Indigenous resistance, the study highlights artivism\u2019s capacity to amplify local struggles while fostering transnational solidarities. Data collection includes analysis of artistic outputs, interviews with artists and activists, and digital ethnography focused on hashtag activism. By critically engaging with protest art, murals, songs, viral videos and performances, the study highlights the dynamic interplay between art, politics, and activism in postcolonial contexts.<br>This research contributes a robust theoretical and practical understanding of artivism, offering insights into its transformative potential as a tool for systemic critique, identity reclamation, and societal transformation.

In this paper, I consider the ways that rehearsals have the capacity to both rewind the past and imagine new futures, theorizing rehearsal practice as a space to both analyze the past and imagine alternative futures. Influenced by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson and Robyn Maynard\u2019s book Rehearsals for Living, this paper considers the very real way that abolition futures are rehearsed into existence in everyday moments of resilience and survival. Thinking alongside Maynard, a radical Black feminist scholar, and Simpson, an Anishinaabe Kwe scholar, I consider the ways that the theatrical concept of rehearsal is central to abolitionist practice. To counter a discussion of the bourgeois theatre\u2019s intended function of rehearsals (perfection, symmetry) I consider Augusto Boal\u2019s interpretation of theatre as a potential manifestation of the future, or \u201ca rehearsal for a revolution,\u201d and consider the ways that theatre can be understood as a rehearsal hall for relation, conflict management, and responding to harm. As a case study, I examine Richard Lam\u2019s The Candlemaker\u2019s Game, a participatory table-top role-playing game about personal conflict, as an example of the ways that rehearsal can look like transformative justice.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Hannah Link, \u201c\u2018The Personal is Political\u2019: B\u00fcchner\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Danton\u2019s Death<\/em>&nbsp;and Female Subjectivity\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Georg B\u00fcchner\u2019s Danton\u2019s Tod (1835) takes place in the period of social upheaval known as the Terror, the most extreme phase of the French Revolution. The play dramatises an erosion of the borders between the public and private, depicting intimate discussions about the nature of art and existence juxtaposed with speeches at the Jacobin Club and the National Convention. It contains several long monologues and soliloquies by female characters in which their personal desires and physical sensations are described. A prostitute named Marion delivers a famous monologue to Danton in which she recounts her sexual awakening. As a girl, she says, \u201cThings happened all around me from which I was separate\u201d (act 1, scene V, translation by John Reddick), describing a feeling of alienation from the external world. Then, after her first lover has drowned himself, she says, \u201cThat evening I sat by the window letting the waves of evening light engulf me: I am all sensation, I connect with the world around me through feeling alone.\u201d She has become so much a part of the outside world that she is \u201cengulf[ed]\u201d in it, and there is no effective distinction between her internal experience and the natural world that surrounds her. Through readings of this and monologues by other female characters (Lucille\u2019s soliloquy in act 2, scene III, and Julie\u2019s soliloquy in act 4, scene VI), my paper shows that B\u00fcchner conceived of revolution as an externalising process, a necessary breaking down of the divide between subjective and collective experiences.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-25\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Gabriel Friday<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Friday Gabriel is an experienced media practitioner with a strong academic foundation in Mass Communication and is currently undertaking a Master\u2019s in Media and Artistic Research at the University of Regina.

The notion of ritual archive (pro)posed by Toyin Falola, a Nigerian historian and professor of African Studies, provides a possible dis\/junction for discussing Black and Indigenous dialogue on critical, creative, spiritual, and relational levels. Falola defines ritual archives as the practice where we nurture, transmit, and \u201cstore most of our Indigenous production, memories, legacies, and even the histories of our lives and ancestors\u201d (474). Using the Arrivals Legacy Project (ALP) curated and led by Diane Roberts in collaboration with a team of sixteen (predominantly IBPoC) co-facilitators, this paper examines the activation of the ritual archive as a relational framework for broadening and grounding Black and Indigenous agency through a dramaturgical and interdisciplinary exploration of the ancestral connection among theatre and performance artists. Which conditions pro\/offer a chance for intervention through solidarities, alliances, and cross-cultural collaborations? And, what contributing factors (foundational, innovative, and decolonial) shape how the intervention empowers, liberates, and nurtures Black and Indigenous agency in the Canadian theatre and performance landscape?

This study will explore how TfD can be strategically employed to engage the Mosuthu community in extensive discussions on climate change, focusing on enhancing their understanding and active participation in addressing environmental challenges. This research will probe into the lived experiences and perceptions of the community to evaluate their awareness of climate issues, their perspectives on the role of TfD, and their involvement in climate action initiatives. Paulo Freire\u2019s Critical Pedagogy theory will anchor the study. The study adopts a qualitative research design that prioritises dialogical learning and participatory approaches. The study incorporates interviews, focus groups, and drama performances, drawing on Freire\u2019s concepts of dialogue, conscientization, problem posing, empowerment, and community theatre. Through the development and performance of theatre pieces, participants will articulate their individual and collective experiences with climate change, thus representing Freire\u2019s theories in meaningful and impactful ways. The study will not only utilise TfD as a methodological tool for gathering data but also as a medium to enhance critical awareness and facilitate meaningful dialogue within the marginalised Mosuthu community. The theatrical performances will play a pivotal role, functioning as both a research tool and a medium for transformative engagement, prompting discussion, reflection, and action on climate-related issues.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022 Manvendra Singh Thakur, &#8220;Fluid Objects, Fluid Bodies, Fluid Homes: Queer Narratives through Performance Art&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>In the realm of performance art, the body serves as both canvas and conduit, challenging societal norms and reshaping narratives of identity, particularly within the context of queerness, homes, and the performative realm. This proposed paper explores the intersection of queer identity and domesticity through my performance, Let\u2019s Make A Home, which disrupts traditional notions of inheritance and domesticity. The piece interrogates how queer individuals negotiate space and belonging, both within the home and in public contexts, offering a nuanced perspective on how these spaces are staged and embodied.<br>By inviting participants to exchange objects that symbolize home, the performance addresses heteronormative constructions, providing insight into alternative queer modes of sharing, connection, and belonging. This intimate act becomes a radical gesture of reimagining familial bonds and communal spaces, highlighting the fluidity of home-making practices that defy societal and geographical boundaries. The performative body, in this context, becomes a site of resistance\u2014redefining its relationship with space, memory, and identity in a dynamic tension with both interior and exterior worlds.<br><br>By inviting participants to exchange objects that symbolize home, the performance addresses heteronormative constructions, providing insight into alternative queer modes of sharing, connection, and belonging.

Through this examination, I aim to explore the transformative potential of performance in challenging and reimagining notions of queerness, belonging, and home in the contemporary Indian context specifically New Delhi, while also considering how these concepts can inform and complicate understandings in the Canadian setting.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022 Hurmat Ul Ain, &#8220;Performance of Hospitality: Mouth as a Liminal Border&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>In my research I explore the site of mouth as the tongue\u2019s resting place, turning to the metonymy of tongue and its performative and linguistic meanings to address issues of cultural identity: performance through speech, taste, and sexuality. In this paper, I draw on performance theorist Peggy Phelan\u2019s insight that, \u201cIn performance, the body is metonymic of self, of character, of voice, of \u2018presence\u2019\u201d (150). The tongue metonymy, I argue, helps to focus discussions of hospitality around the migrant\u2019s body, politics of identity, and place in a globalized world. I further examine definitions of hospitable spaces, using the mouth as example: it is where introductions of foreign objects take place. The image of the open mouth with tongue on display troubles ideas of intimacy and disgust or raw interiority against a polished exterior. The liminal and transient framing of the mouth as a site of negitiation of power and the encounter of possible (in)hospitality between the local\/insider and the foreigner\/outsider is a central setting in my project. To illustrate these connections, I analyze the work of contemporary artist, Mithu Sen who contributes to the discourse on hospitality and its limitations through a wide body of work on the subject. She repeatedly returns to the image of the mouth, its interiority, and visceral drawings\/sculptures of tongue in her seminal works, To have and to hold (2002) and Border unseen (2014). In my paper, I read Sen\u2019s performance works as troubling binaries of East\/West, host\/guest, public\/private and colonizer\/colonized.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-26\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">John M\u0169konzi M\u0169syoki<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>M\u0169konzi is a theatre scholar, writer, director, and dramaturg.

McCormick, 2017; Organ, 2016). Arts-based interventions in these liminal contexts have tended to be reminiscence-based, an approach that has been widely used in end-of-life legacy work in medicine (see Allen, 2009; Pasupathi &amp; Carstensen, 2003; Affleck &amp; Tennen, 1996; Hilgeman, Allen, DeCoster &amp; Burgio, 2007), particularly with patients living with dementia. Reminisicence often forms the basis of legacy-based work; work that is designed to out-live a person and provide a definitive set of values, based on past life events, that will stand in for a person in the years to come.&nbsp;<br><br>This paper explores the fascinating temporal tensions inherent in theatre, music, and movement-based legacy projects with older adults in the liminal context of transitional care. Our discussion focuses on several case studies that center on music, theatre, and movement-based creative sessions with older adult artist-participants and their caregivers in a transitional care facility in Ontario, describing in particular the theoretical need for a relational and present-based arts practice in this context (see Nicholson, 2012). Extending the work of Abbate (1991), Rabey (2016), Wagner (2018), and Wittman (2017), we describe the ways music, theatre, and movement can be used to engage artist-participants in an orientation to legacy that transforms its typically retrospective nature into one that is rooted in present-based relationality.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;Jenny Salisbury, \u201cBuilding Trust with Audiences: The Interiority and Humour of Baram and Snieckus\u2019&nbsp;<em>Big Stuff<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>In their 2024 play Big Stuff, Matt Baram, Naomi Snieckus, and Kat Sandler encourage audiences to share stories of interiority. Or as their press release quipped, they invite us to \u201cparticipate in the unpacking of some big stuff\u201d (Crows 2024). Through their training in improvisation and sketch comedy (The National Theatre of The World, Second City Toronto), Baram and Snieckus create a blended dramaturgy of scripted poignancy and audience participation. The play hinges on audience members sharing stories of their own unexpected items at home that are connected to people, childhood, and often death. Between audience stories and actor confessions, Big Stuff weaves a complicated fabric of affective trust, a trust that is built on mutual vulnerability, freedom of expression, and the common experience of losing people we love. This play offers a key example of affective trust, and the critical work collective creation and devising practices can do in building trust among strangers.<br><br>Our current political moment seems to be predicated on a breakdown of trust. Francis Fukuyama, author of the 1996 book Trust: The Social Virtues and the Creation of Prosperity, has argued that over the last 20 years, the United States and much of the Western World has transformed into a low-trust society (2024). Trust, as Danish philosopher Knud Ejler L\u00f8gstrup defines it \u201cis to lay oneself open\u201d (Stern \u2018Trust is Basic\u2019). Perhaps another way to define it is to expose, or bring to light what lies inside: inside our basements, our closets, our hearts, and our memories.&nbsp;<br><br>Crow\u2019s Theatre. \u201cBig Stuff &#8211; Streetcar Crowsnest.\u201d Crow\u2019s Theatre.&nbsp;www.crowstheatre.com\/whats-on\/view-all\/big-stuff.<br>Fukuyama, Francis. \u201cThe Crisis of Trust.\u201d Persuasion. 18 Oct. 2024.&nbsp;www.persuasion.community\/p\/the-crisis-of-trust.<br>&#8212;.

While discussions on accessibility have gained traction in Canada&#8217;s theatre landscape over the past decade, many accessibility practices remain rooted in what artist and scholar Alice Sheppard refers to as \u201ccompliancy\u201d or \u201cinclusionary thinking\u201d in the arts&#8211;approaches that attempt to \u201csolve\u201d disability\u2019s presence through surface-level interventions, often tacked on at the end of a project (\u201cDisability Justice\u201d).<br><br>This paper examines how an understanding of access intimacy in relation to theatre audiences&nbsp;&nbsp;might reshape these approaches. Access intimacy, as first defined by activist and writer Mia Mingus, describes the elusive feelings which become when one\u2019s access needs are deeply understood by another (&#8220;Access Intimacy&#8221;). To explore access intimacy in a theatre audience research landscape, this paper turns to The Disability Collective\u2019s production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, featuring an all D\/deaf shadow cast. Drawing on affect theory, disability studies, and audience studies, this investigation calls on theatre practitioners to embrace the slowness of interdependence, integrating practices curated by and reflective of the community. In doing so, it offers theatre practitioners integral insight on how their accessibility practices may better serve their communities by striving towards fostering the intimacy of disability in and amongst their audiences.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-28\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Colleen Renihan<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Dr. Colleen Renihan is Associate Professor at Queen\u2019s University, and Senior Associate Researcher at Providence Care Hospital.

Many musicals performed in high schools build up to a kiss between two characters as the climactic moment of the story, and such moments receive thunderous applause from audiences comprised of students\u2019 peers, families, and teachers. These moments provoke the question: what does it mean to have high school students perform elements of intimacy for community audiences? What practices are Canadian high school drama teachers using to guide students through staged intimacy, physical contact, or performed moments of emotional vulnerability \u2013 both in rehearsal for productions, and in drama classrooms?<br>In this presentation, I share insights from an interview study with high school drama teachers across Canada to showcase how care, caregiving, and creating communities of care among students are fundamental to drama pedagogy. Through sharing narratives from drama teachers, I illustrate how they foster communal caring in somewhat unorthodox ways. These narratives showcase how teachers mobilize care through relationship building, artistic work, and educational encounters that ignite students\u2019 bodies, minds, and senses to foster greater connections with the world around them. I conclude by sharing a curated list of drama teachers\u2019 \u2018best practices\u2019 for guiding students through challenging scene work in caring ways. These findings are particularly relevant following COVID-19 as we navigate bringing students back into embodied, collaborative learning that happens through sharing physical and emotional space with others.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-29\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Barry Freeman<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Barry Freeman is the Associate Professor of Theatre and Performance at the University of Toronto Scarborough and the Centre for Drama, Theatre &amp; Performance Studies.

How are our relationships with these exteriors changed when we weave them intentionally into our stories?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Switch centers the unique knowledge systems, activism and artistic expressions of LGBTQ2S+, BIPOC, and intersectionality marginalized folks who varyingly experience the world as fat, mad, disabled, working class and\/or criminalized. Switch devises work through a decolonial and transformative justice framework of inqueery that leverages rigorous archival research, deep site based learning,&nbsp;&nbsp;interdisciplinary collaboration and \u201cswitchy improv\u201d to create new works in perpetual movement.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>After a short introduction to the Switch methodology, this workshop will offer an embodied exploration of the interplay between &#8216;interior&#8217; and &#8216;exterior&#8217; informed by the people and pasts\/presents\/futures of the place we are in. Both theatre practitioners AND non-theatre practitioners can engage in transdisciplinary Switch methodologies. In advance, Switch will connect with local queer and trans collaborators and identify existing site-relevant contextualizing research materials. Participants will experiment with Switch&#8217;s &#8216;inqueery&#8217; process, an embodied form of research. They will be invited to respond to prompts designed for the space we are in using written, audio, movement-based, or visual responses, setting their own boundaries around their comfort level.

How can we dramatize the internal experience, bringing the medical and the theatrical together? My presentation will discuss my interaction with this question as I crafted this play with a student ensemble at Brock University. Firstly, I will share how I used the physical properties of the brain and the physiological impacts of a concussion on a brain as a springboard for a series of movement-based inquiries. I will discuss how through working with a chorus for these \u201cinternal scenes\u201d we translated moments of breakdown and recovery, amplifying and theatricalizing what happens internally into visceral and expressionistic movement sequences. Secondly, I will outline my examination of the signs and symptoms of concussions through character-mask improvisations, which helped build much of the storyline of the play. Connected to this is the non-linear nature of the healing process, a major influence on the play\u2019s structure. Finally, I will wrap up with an explanation of why approaching the subject of brain injury through non-verbal and physical theatrical techniques was the best choice for this project, sharing how this opened the doors into a world of imagination and whimsy.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u2022&nbsp;William MacGregor, \u201cDocumentary Performance Pathography: Reflections on Staging Illness, the Limitations of Scholarship and Praxis, and the Potential of a New Method&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>This research presentation outlines Documentary Performance Pathography, a new method developed by the author during a research-creation project as part of the completion of their MA in Theatre and Performance Studies at York University. Quietus, a play for two performers, is comprised primarily of transcribed sections from journals kept during the author\u2019s near-decade long experience with severe chronic pain and disability, staging their struggles with illness, sickness, impairment, and the Canadian health and social care systems. However, during Quietus\u2019s initial development as performance autoethnography, the author\u2019s growing discontent with the limitations and artistic trade-offs of the method, as well as how conventional expectations for illness narratives, of triumphal plot and cathartic resolution, clashed with their own illness experience (as well as the ambivalence that accompanied an eventual but unlikely recovery), led to the genesis of a new approach: Documentary Performance Pathography. Positioned at the intersection of documentary theatre, performance autoethnography, and illness narratives, this method combines the reflexive and systematic strengths of performance autoethnography, the affective power of theatrical performance, and the verifiability of documentary theatre. The presentation will outline the scholarship and artistic works that influenced the conception and development of this method, the practical theatrical considerations that shaped the play-text, before ending with the author\u2019s reflections and insights specifically addressed to a performance-oriented audience, with the hopes that this new form can offer new opportunities for artists, scholars, and ideally everyone the means to tell more verifiable stories about illness and health experiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:table -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"biographies-31\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Biographies<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Mike Griffin<\/span><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:table -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Mike Griffin is an Assistant Professor at Brock University and teaches acting, directing, devising, movement, mask, and Commedia dell\u2019Arte.

An example, I will elaborate on further is Vancouver Co-Op Radio 102.7 CFRO-FM&#8217;s The Lesbian Show (TLS). TLS was a radio station in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, beginning in 1979 that highlighted a plethora of queer feminist-centric performance related works. In this specific episode of TLS, \u201cPoetry\u201d, curated both musical and lyrical performances additionally centring the episode with live slam poetry, giving listeners an experience of sonic intimacy (Pettman 2017). As a group, Vancouver Co-Op Radio 102.7 CFRO-FM&#8217;s The Lesbian Show exemplified autonomy, feminism, and showcased the realities of queerness building a strengthen sapphic community. In analyzing the vocal performances in this episode (such as \u201cRebellious Vagina\u201d), I will conduct an auditory performance analysis to further understand the show\u2019s utopian qualities. Drawing on understandings of ghostly familiarity, The Lesbian Show marks its historic roots in Vancouver\u2019s queer ecology in exhibiting sexual liberation and subverting codified norms all while bringing a sense of escapism past the states of normalcy. In this paper, I argue that in using sonic intimacy and community collaboration, this episode of The Lesbian Show curates sapphic voices that push for bodily neutrality offering uplifting queer representations of female empowerment through their phantasmic traces and the importance of historical legacy.<br><br><br>Works Cited&nbsp;<br><br>City of Vancouver Archives (1980). \u201cCo-op Radio: the lesbian show\u201d, AM1675-S4-F40-: 2018-020.7126, Box: 194-C-10.&nbsp;https:\/\/searcharchives.vancouver.ca\/co-op-radio-the-lesbian-show&nbsp;.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>City of Vancouver Archives (Nov. 13, 1986), Lesbian Show [poetry], AM1549-S01-F05-: 2009-116.0242-: 2009-116.0242.1.&nbsp;https:\/\/searcharchives.vancouver.ca\/lesbian-show-poetry.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Pettman, D.
