A Reflection on Canadian Theatre Review and Recognizing Innovation and Integrity in Theatre for/by/with Young People
Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) has been present in Canadian Theatre Review since the very first issue. This article explores how young people, children, and the artists who create work for them, have been addressed in CTR, with a focus on the first 25 years. The article overviews ways the journal discussed artists, creative practice, research, festivals, playwriting, design, funding, space, working conditions and respect for the craft. CTR mad…
Youth beyond time
In living history museums, where young people work and volunteer as historically dressed interpreters, participate in field trips, and attend summer camps, young people can simultaneously represent the past, the present and the future. In these spaces, they also shape the past through their questions, their retellings, and their reimaginings based on what matters to them in the present. The paper examines interviews with teen, young adult, and ad…
Creative Process and Co-Research with the Early Years through Flight
Practice-based research that meaningfully engages with very young children (ages eighteen months to five years) as co-researchers presents wonderful opportunities to co-imagine possibilities together, but it also presents challenges related to communication, a democratic process, and children’s agency. In this article, we discuss how The Urban Wildlife Project uses Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework to help our creative team have…

Physical Culture Drills and Alberta Girls Stepping Together Across Time
By embodying movement vocabulary and physical culture drills drawn from a 1911 textbook of physical exercises, in this girl-centred research project we examined how Alberta girls (aged 7 to 22) during the COVID-19 pandemic challenged ideas about Alberta settler girls who lived 100 years ago. Using performance-based historiography as a methodology, participants explored what embodying physical culture movement vocabulary could reveal about archive…
‘Never be Dull’
In their first decade of operation in Canada, Canadian Girl Guides presented numerous performances, primarily as fundraisers, to raise money for the Red Cross or to go to camp. Their performances included a great deal of variety, and often gymnastics drills. While critics suggest that these drills were joyless affairs, girls chose to do them, and many probably took pleasure and pride in developing the choreography and performing them well. Prelim…
Youth-Engaged Art-Based Research in Cape Breton
2017, in conjunction with celebrations of 150 years of Canadian Confederation and with funding from government programs, young people from across Cape Breton Island were invited to participate in a performance creation project to explore narratives and experiences of migration and encounter. Youth (ranging in age from seven to nineteen) from disparate places, including Membertou First Nation (a reserve), Chéticamp (an Acadian, francophone town), …
Theatre in Algeria and children
An Ethical Approach to Encountering Nineteenth Century Girls
In this article I explore the implications and challenges of applying the tenets of twenty-first century, girl-centered ethical research methodologies to a study of archived diaries, letters, and cultural ephemera made by Victorian girls. Archives of the words of young people can be augmented by the judicious application of knowledge that Victorian girls could not have had, and by using the ways in which contemporary young people theorize their o…
