<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've written an informal professional memoir about my life in the theatre and theatre studies in the academy. I don't expect anyone to want to publish it, but I'm offering it to anyone who wants to read it. It has no gossip or big
personal revelations, no-one gets dissed, and I don't claim to have been exceptional. But it does record from a specific individual position six decades of learning and work in arguably the most formative period in Canadian theatre and Canadian theatre studies
(the 60s to the present).</div>

<div><span style="font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">It's called "The Craft So Long to Learn," i</span>t's about learning, and it shares
some of what I've learned, so I've dedicated it to the folks from whom I've learned the most: Sandy Leggat, Robin Phillips, Tracy Davis, Monique Mojica, Yvette Nolan, Soheil Parsa, Nina Lee Aquino, and Majdi Bou Matar. And of course to my partner, Christine
Bold.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyone interested can send me their email address to <a href="mailto:rknowles@uoguelph.ca" target="_blank">rknowles@uoguelph.ca</a> and I'll send you a copy by attachment.</div>

<div>Cheers,</div>
