Inspired by Place: How to Make the Performing Arts Thrive Locally, Regionally and Nationally

In her lecture Inspired by Place, Jillian Keiley reveals how local theatre is inherent to the development of our communities: it revitalizes cities to attract visitors and residents while bringing diverse demographics together to share experiences and understand each other better. Referencing personal experience, she recounts her journey from local theatre in St. John’s to her current position as Artistic Director of English Theatre at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Jillian illustrates how theatre and performance not only strengthen communities, but can also catapult its members to positions of renown.

              Sur la scène: adapting Balzac, Dumas and Zola on the stage

              The French literary landscape of the nineteenth century is marked by a tremendous production of adaptations of plays based on novels or short stories. Hundreds of adaptations from authors such as Balzac, Dumas, Hugo and Zola were staged in Paris theatres throughout the century. At times perceived as a form of plagiarism or as an outrageous merchandising of literature, these adaptations provoked heated discussions between literary critics, novelists and playwrights of the time. We will examine how the staging of works such as Dumas’ Le Comte de Monte-Cristo or Zola’s L’Assommoir gave rise to a great number of publications where topics such as authorship, censorship and literary genres were passionately debated.
