Early notice of Dramaturgy Conference in Toronto...

[Brian Quirt]

LMDA Canada and the Theatre Centre
present the sixth annual
MINI-CONFERENCE ON DRAMATURGY

July 7 & 8, 2003, in Toronto
----------------------------------

This two day conference will focus on dramaturgical case studies in which
dramaturgs, directors and writers discuss the creation of recent shows and a
variety of dramaturgical issues.

Conference sessions take the form of one hour case studies of specific
productions and related topics. Playwrights and their collaborators examine
in detail their creative process and conference participants are urged to
ask questions and offer their insights into new play development. This year
we will be exploring a new musical, the challenges of site specific work,
the theatre scenes in Vancouver and Edmonton, and the creation of several
new plays.

The Mini-Conference dates are during the Fringe of Toronto Festival, which
runs July 3 to 13 at many venues around the city. Attending the conference
and the Fringe is a great way to see exciting new theatre and talk with your
colleagues about the myriad ways it is created.

Speakers include: (subject to change)

Morwyn Brebner   (playwright; Toronto)
Naomi Campbell   (producer; Toronto)
Kendra Fanconi   (playwright; Vancouver)
Shauna Janssen   (stage manager; Toronto)
Sunil Kuravilla   (playwright; Kitchener)
Mieko Ouchi   (playwright; Edmonton)
Brian Quirt   (director/dramaturg, Nightswimming and Factory Theatre,
Toronto)
Diane Roberts   (playwright/director; Toronto)

A detailed schedule of conference sessions will be released in late May.
