<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Canadian Theatre Review issue 183, to be published in summer 2020, will focus on the origins and impacts of clowning in Canada. This issue aims to address the
roots and history that clowning as a theatrical practice has had in Canada, as well as to examine the contemporary resurgence of clowning both on and off stage (in the circus, in hospitals, in social justice work, etc.). Some key questions that this issue
will examine are as follows: </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">If so, how do these practices relate to other clown traditions, such as those stemming from Europe (Lecoq, Gaulier, Commedia) and those stemming from Indigenous traditions of clowning on Turtle Island?

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">There are several rich and distinct traditions of clowning in Canada and, while academics are beginning to study these traditions, much of what is known about
clowning is handed down directly from mentors to students - a reality which has lead to a gap in the published literature that documents, explores, and comments upon clowning in Canada. As a direct result of this gap in documentation, information is easily
lost, misconstrued, and misrepresented and significant voices and perspectives are left out of the conversation. This issue of the CTR aims to be an early gathering place for the diversity of clowning practices currently vibrant within Canada, and a reference
for those seeking to learn more about the traditions that have informed this work, and about its present impacts.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We are especially interested in submissions that explore themes related to: Clowns in performance (perhaps, especially, the explosion of self-described clown
shows in Canadian Fringe festivals), Clowning in the context of Canadian circus traditions, Clown companies in Canada, Clowning in Black Canada, Indigenous clowning practices in Canada, clowning practices in Quebec, Clowning and critical disability studies,
and Bouffon in Canada. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
