Contributions are invited for a new publication dedicated to studying the impact immigrant artists have made and continue to make on the development of Canadian theater: its themes, characters, political and social issues, financial structures, as well as its
artistic devices. The collection of scholarly articles <em style="box-sizing: border-box; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px;">Performing Canadian Frontiers: Theatre and

Essays on Canadian Theatre</em>. The objective of this collection is to investigate the historical and contemporary impact immigrant populations have had on a rapidly changing Canadian society. It invites the participants to examine the historical, artistic,
educational and methodological influence immigrant theatre artists had, could have had, or did not have on the development of Canadian theatre and performance stages, both in English and French, and /or other languages. It seeks to demonstrate how the increased
presence of immigrant theatre artists actively contributing to English Canadian, Quebec, and Franco-Canadian theatre today prompts their audiences to rethink such fundamental concepts of Canadian social wellbeing as “civic nationalism” (Ignatieff 1994)<a href="imap://schweit@mypost.yorku.ca:993/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX%3E67410#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="box-sizing: border-box; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px; color: rgb(239, 67, 61); text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s linear;">[i]</a> and
“multiculturalism” (Taylor 1994)<a href="imap://schweit@mypost.yorku.ca:993/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX%3E67410#_edn2" name="_ednref2" style="box-sizing: border-box; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px; color: rgb(239, 67, 61); text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s linear;">[ii]</a>.
Following Alan Filewod’s argument that English Canadian theatre has been produced in the process of creating “imagined community” through theatre arts (2002:2-11)<a href="imap://schweit@mypost.yorku.ca:993/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX%3E67410#_edn3" name="_ednref3" style="box-sizing: border-box; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px; color: rgb(239, 67, 61); text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s linear;">[iii]</a>,
this publication invites contributions on methodologies of making immigrant theatre in Canada and Quebec, which can be viewed as stemming from such a process. It encourages discussions of the history of performative rendering of immigration in Canada and Quebec;
of the diverse experiences of artists-immigrants seeking professional employment in Canada; of the financial, material and economic conditions of making theatre in immigration; and of the work of 2<sup style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px;">nd</sup> generation
(im)migrants, as well as of the themes and artistic methodologies proposed and practiced by the performance work (playwriting, acting, directing, design, choreography, soundscapes, to name a few) of immigrant theatre artists working on Canadian and Quebecois
stages. Looking at the cross-disciplinary scholarship on post-nationalism and globalization, this book invites contributions that make use of diverse methodological models of inquiry in theatre studies, such as but not limited to:</p>
