The proposed theme is 'The Quebec/ROC (Rest of Canada) Relationship in Theatre and Performance’. This dualistic narrative persists today, yet each community is increasingly fragmented. It is important to consider the impact of this binary on each community, including both its benefits and drawbacks. Key questions this forum will address include: How is the Quebec/ROC relationship presently defined and/or negated in theatre and performance? To what extent can/does nationalist discourse still take place? How are other francophone communities across Canada taken into account? How do theatre and performance productions and practices differ across Quebec and the ROC? </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">Topics of interest could include, but are not limited to:</span></p><br></div></div></span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:16px"></span><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:16px"><div></div><div><ul style="margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:12px;margin-top:0pt"><li dir="ltr" style="margin-left:15px;list-style-type:disc;font-size:14px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent"><p dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">Theatre and performance artists and companies who have discussed or are defined by Quebec/ROC relations;</span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="margin-left:15px;list-style-type:disc;font-size:14px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent"><p dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">Plays or performances focusing on Quebec/ROC relations;</span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="margin-left:15px;list-style-type:disc;font-size:14px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent"><p dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">Franco-Canadian plays or productions focusing on the nature of divided communities - Franco-Albertan community case studies are particularly welcome;</span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="margin-left:15px;list-style-type:disc;font-size:14px;font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent"><p dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;line-height:1.38"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent">Theoretical, historical or historiographic perspectives pertaining to the Quebec/ROC relationship, including comparisons with other divided communities or nations.

collaboration par un forum multimédia en ligne pour artistes et chercheurs, qui culminera vers une table ronde au colloque de l’ACRT en 2016. Le thème proposé est ‘La relation entre le Québec et le reste du Canada au théâtre et dans la performance’. Ce discours reste dualiste encore aujourd’hui, même si chaque communauté est de plus en plus fragmentée. Il est important de considérer l’impact de cette relation binaire dans chaque communauté, incluant les bénéfices et les inconvénients. Les questions clés que posera ce forum sont les suivantes: Comment la relation entre le Québec et le reste du Canada est-elle présentement définie au théâtre et dans la performance? Des discours nationalistes existent-ils encore? Les autres communautés francophones du Canada sont-elles considérées? Comment les pièces, ainsi que les pratiques de théâtre ou de performance, se distinguent-elles au Québec vs dans le reste du Canada?
