Lee Playwright in Residence - Drama - University of Alberta

[Piet Defraeye]

The University of Alberta's Department of Drama invites applications from
established Canadian playwrights for the position of *Lee
Playwright-in-Residence*.

This innovative residency offers a unique opportunity for a playwright to
devote time to his/her writing, and to make a significant contribution to
new play development within the university and theatre community in
Edmonton. Terms of reference for the residency stipulate that the writer
spends 50% of their time writing and 50% of their time in outreach and new
play development activity with local playwrights, students and professional
theatres. Although the playwright will be invited to visit university
classes and to consult with students, this is not a formal teaching
position. The residency will be 16 months over a three-year period:
September 2014-April 2015 and September 2016-April 2017.

In addition to the residency, the playwright is encouraged to accept a
commission to write a new play for the 2017 graduating BFA Acting class.
The production of the commission is proposed for February or March 2017 as
part of the UofA Studio Theatre season in the Timms Centre for the Arts. It
is anticipated that the playwright will be brought in for a one-week
workshop (including honorarium, accommodation and per diem) of the
script-in-progress during the 2015/16 school year.
