Magnetic North Theatre Festival Student Conference

[Denis Salter]

>From Myrna Wyatt Selkirk



Magnetic North Theatre Festival is starting to develop a student conference.  To that end we plan to hold a 1/2 day session on June 16, 2007 in Ottawa and then expand it to a fuller conference in Vancouver in 2008.  Our hope and expectation would be that students would come to Magnetic North, see all the shows and come to the 1/2 day session to discuss and reflect on this festival and theatre in Canada.  Sarah Stanley from Concordia University is bringing a group of students to the festival who will do a reflection piece on the last day as part of this session.  If students from other institutions are interested in becoming involved in this performance report please contact Sarah Stanley by March 15, 2007 at sstanley at alcor.concordia.ca.

 

For the second session students will be able to voice their own thoughts as well as engage with theatre artists.  Various artists who have participated in the festival will also be invited to attend.  Specific questions for the Charting the Course session will be worked out as we work with a group of students to plan the session.  If you have a particularly eager student who would like to be in Ottawa for the festival and is interested in being your school's representative please put them in contact with me. 



This is the rough shape of the day thus far:

TOTGA is the show from Electric Company and The Only Animal called The One That Got Away. It takes place in a pool and is not included in any of the passes due to limited seating and the cost of the show. The student Pass Rate for TOTGA is $17.50 on top of the price of the Pass.

The Gold pass will get you into the Industry Series and ancillary programming (not Master Classes).
