Staging poetry

[Conrad Alexandrowicz]

I am currently revising an article for publication that essentially reflects upon my recent SSHRC-funded project staging selections from the published poetry of Lorna Crozier and Erín Moure. This resulted in the creation of a number of staged works.

When I began this work I did a quick survey of recent work of this kind in Canada, and came up with very little in the professional theatre, apart from a couple of notable and inspiring examples: The Four Horsemen Project, by Volcano Theatre, and Doing Leonard Cohen, by One Yellow Rabbit.

I know that some work of this kind has been going on in the academy, but I'd like to gather some real evidence here.

Does anyone have anything to share in this regard? A project in which you have been involved, or which you know about?

I would very much appreciate hearing from you!

Warm regards,
