The Digital Turn
For the seventy-fifth anniversary special issue of Theatre Journal , it is appropriate to look back to a transition moment in the journal's history, even if that moment is not very far in the journal's past. This essay outlines the history behind the establishment of Theatre Journal 's online platform which was launched in 2016. It explores the ways in which Theatre Journal is prepared for a turn towards research that deals with theatre grappling…
The Cost of Medically Unnecessary Days Due to Waiting for Guardianship in a State Acute Hospital System
Hospitals must do more with less, making efficiency a priority. Discharge delays create challenges for acute care hospitals. Some delays are due to patients waiting for a guardian—a person appointed to assist an adult who lacks decision-making capacity. Previous studies examine the burden of excess days in a single academic medical center (AMC); however, these institutions do not represent the entire hospital system. This descriptive study expand…
Putting virtual theatre models to work
So much time, research and effort are expended in accurately developing virtual models of theatres, but what happens when they are completed? It is not automatically clear how one uses a virtual model for research to generate new knowledge about performance. Our research has recreated a series of theatres, which no longer exist, in virtual form in order to visualise elements of performance and the social relations that shape and are shaped by a t…
Exploring the Impact of an Anti-Homophobia and Anti-Transphobia Program on a Teacher Education Program
Anti-oppressive pedagogical practices that counter the marginalization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit, queer, and/or questioning youth continue to foster new understanding in teacher education. Researchers note that many pre-service teachers are not prepared to address classroom concerns regarding homophobia, heterosexism, and cisnormativity, fail to identify biases in curricular materials, and resist ideas related to the inte…

Performing Site-Specific Theatre
This book investigates the expanding parameters for site-specific performance to account for the form's increasing popularity in the twenty-first century. Leading practitioners and theorists interroga
Theatre's Heterotopia and the Site-Specific Production of Suitcase
The site-specific performance Suitcase was staged at Liverpool Street Station, London, for one day only to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Kindertransport. In its attempts to expand historical and theatrical space, and expand audience, the play creates a new kind of heterotopia that gestures beyond the physical site of the performance
Site-Specific Theatre and Political Engagement across Space and Time
This essay focuses on Platform's audio-walk And While London Burns (2006), which generates a new map of London by means of the "carbon web," or the complex network of companies and supporting industries on which British Petroleum (BP) relies. The production-and its message about the urgency of halting climate change-has since accrued additional layers of meaning, given the disaster of the Deepwater Horizon oil-rig explosion and spill in the Gulf …
Protecting embers to light the qulliit of Inuit learning in Nunavut communities
On July 1, 2009 at a special ceremony in Iqaluit, 21 Inuit women graduated from Nunavut's first graduate degree program, a Master of Education in Leadership and Learning offered by the University of Prince Edward Island in partnership with Nunavut Department of Education, St. Francis Xavier University, and Nunavut Arctic College. The authors of this article, Northwest Territories/Nunavut educators between 1982 and 1999, and university-based profe…
Adapting Australian Novels for the Stage
In the latest expression of its mandate to stage a broadly-defined Queensland, the Brisbane-based La Boite Theatre has turned to adapting local works. This is not new for the theatreâ Rosamond Siemon's The Mayne Inheritance was adapted by Errol O'Neill for the 2004 season, and several Nick Earls novels have been dramatisedâ but 2006 marks the first time that adaptations have dominated a season, with three of five plays based on novels of the same…
Critical Theory and Performance
Post-Colonial Drama
Post-Colonial Drama is the first full-length study to address the ways in which performance has been instrumental in resisting the continuing effects of imperialism. It brings to bear the latest theoretical approaches from post-colonial and performance studies to a range of plays from Australia, Africa, Canada, New Zealand, the Caribbean and other former colonial regions. Some of the major topics discussed in Post-Colonial Drama include: * the in…
They Ought to Enjoy Physical Activity, You Know
Many physical educators in Canadian Atlantic provinces are forced to cope with large classes, inadequate facilities and equipment, and reductions in scheduled time for physical education classes. These factors seriously inhibit teachers' attempts to encourage their students to practice physically active lifestyles. In the following article our research focuses on how seven female physical educators negotiate compromises between their restrictive …
The Light in Their Eyes
Sonia Nieto makes student learning the primary objective of multicultural education. She draws on a host of research in learning styles, multiple intelligences and cognitive theories to portray the way students learn. Nieto then takes the reader beyond individual learners to discuss the social context of learning, educational equity, the influence of culture on learning and critical pedagogy. Centering on multicultural education as a transformati…
