Playwrights Guild of Canada Conference



"Text & Technology in Theatre"



Saturday, May 31

Theatre de Quat'Sous 1pm to 5pm

100 Avenue des Pins Est, Montreal



To Register: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/K5HC8QX



Text in Theatre moderated by Daniel Karasik with panelists: Majdi Bou-Matar & Brian Drader



This session will be framed as a conversation that will begin with two 
great theatre minds, discussing the use of language in theatre. For 
example, there are a growing number of Canadian playwrights creating 
work that do not derive from a literary disposition. Is the playwright’s
 role evolving from scribe to engineer?



The Technologized Playwright moderated by Elyne Quan with panelists: Alison Humphrey & Kevin Cunningham



This session will introduce creators to all the technological tools that
 exist for them to express their ideas, stories and images. The session 
will also ask what we mean when we say "technology" in theatre terms, 
and what areas (social media, sound, lighting, architecture, 
configuration of the physical space, machinery, artificial intelligence)
 are practical/relevant in the performance space.
