New Issue Alert - Canadian Theatre Review 150th anniversary issue

Wed Apr 18 17:04:50 EDT 2012

CTR 150 / Spring 2012 "Manifestos: Or Everything You've ever Wanted to Say about Theatre but Were Afraid to Put in Print" is now available online<http://utpjournals.metapress.com/content/j25q6h34p7xv/?p=a04af712be0c4aba9210d937741ffd43&pi=0>
In celebration of CTR's 150th anniversary issue, Views and Reviews editors Natalie Alvarez and Jenn Stephenson stage a coup and take over the entire issue, which they devote entirely to views in the form of manifestos. Leading theatre artists and provocateurs share their manifestos on the state of theatre in Canada.  Their rants and raves, visions and vituperations evoke the halcyon days of the manifesto form as the vehicle of choice for avant-garde auteurs to express their views on the future of the theatre and how the artist ought to proceed. Through creative interrogations of the manifesto form itself and anti-manifestos written in resistance to its formal dictates, contributors from coast to coast enjoin readers to consider the stakes in Canadian theatre today.
The issue features an interactive manifesto by Montreal's 2boys.tv, as well as featured videos in our online edition of contributors making their manifestos public at sites of their choosing. Contributors include Daniel Brooks, Aluna Theatre's Beatriz Pizano and Trevor Schwellnus, Waawaate Fobister, Nina Arsenault, Kristine Nutting, Leaky Heaven's Steven Hill and Michele Valiquette, Ravi Jain and Michael Wheeler, Naomi Campbell, Olivier Choiniere, T.L. Cowan, Jillian Keiley, Zuppa Theatre Company's Alex McLean, d'bi young anitafrika, Yves Sioui Durand, performance artist Claudia Bernal, Nicholas Hanson, Madeleine Blais-Dahlem, Anand Rajaram, Rebecca Singh, Alex Lazaridis Ferguson, Louis Patrick Leroux, Kathryn Harvey, Sarah Garton Stanley, Jacob Wren, Marcus Youssef, David Yee, and Suitcase in Point Theatre Company.
