Women's Caucus des Femmes

[Catherine Graham]

ACTR WOMEN'S CAUCUS DINNER
SATURDAY MAY 29, at 6:00 pm
Restaurant L'Acad mie
((4051 St.-Denis, corner of Duluth)
Bring your own wine from the SAQ (liquour store) downstairs!
 
The ACTR women's caucus has traditionally gotten together for a
supper meeting where women members of the association could exchange
ideas and support their colleagues in facing issues particular to women in
theatre studies.  This year we are proposing to explore ways in which
caucus members might continue these discussion between ACTR annual
meetings.  To do this we will ask members attending the dinner to identify
three major areas of concern for the women's caucus.  Some members have
already suggested, for instance, that we look at the ways in which students
react to women's teaching, the problems of maintaining links with women's
groups outside the university, and the ways in which feminist research
agendas are evaluated in different departments.  Do these or other questions
interest you? Based on our discussions on Saturday, a shorter meeting
during the lunch hour Monday will look at concrete mechanisms that would
allow us to support each other in exploring these issues further.
After the  dinner some of us might want to go to the theatre together
and in that light I would suggest that women reserving tickets for the
Festival du Th  tre des Am riques consider choosing either _La Nuit_, by
Anne-Marie Cadieux (10pm at the Monument-National) or _Tales of the
Red River_ by the Viet-Nam National Water Puppets (9 pm at the Old Port,
warm clothing suggested).
I would also suggest that those planning to attend the Theory Group
on Sunday evening and then to the theatre might choose Larry Tremblay's
_The Dragonfly of Chicoutimi_ , at the Th       tre d'Aujourd'hui, which is not
far from the Caf  Cherrier where the theory group is meeting.

Le caucus des femmes de l'ARTC se rencontre pour souper chaque
ann e pour  changer des id es et s'offrir du soutien face aux probl mes
particuliers aux femmes oeuvrant dans le domaine des  tudes th  trales.
Cette ann e, nous proposons d'explorer la possibilit  de continuer ces
discussions entre les r unions annuelles.  K cette fin, nous demandons aux
femmes qui assistent au souper d'identifier les trois questions les plus
importantes pour le caucus.  K titre d'exemples, certaines ont d j  sugg r
les probl matiques suivantes : comment les  tudiant.e.s r agissent
diff remment aux professeures femmes, les probl mes de maintenir des
liens avec des groupes de femmes en dehors de l'universit , et l' valuation
des projets de recherche f ministe dans diff rents d partements.  Est-ce que
ces questions vous int ressent ?  Avez-vous d'autres suggestions ?  Suite
nos discussions de samedi, une plus courte r union lundi midi sera
consacr e   identifier des m canismes concrets qui permettront de se
soutenir dans l'exploration de ces probl mes.
Certaines d'entre nous voudront peut- tre aller ensemble au th  tre
apr s le souper.  Je sugg re que les femmes qui r servent des billets pour le
Festival du Th  tre des Am riques choisissent ou La Nuit, par Anne-Marie
Cadieux (22h au Monument-National) ou Contes du Fleuve Rouge par le
Th      tre National des Marionnettes du Vi t-Nam (21h au Vieux-Port,
couvertures et v tements chauds recommand s).
Celles et ceux qui participeront au GTheory GroupH le dimanche soir
et iront au th  tre apr s, veulent peut- tre choisir _The Dragonfly of
Chicoutimi_ par Larry Tremblay au Th    tre d'Aujourd'hui, qui est tout
proche du Caf  Cherrier, o  aura lieu la r union/souper.
