03.28.10WTD Vancouver: Art by Actors (post by Trilby Jeeves)Years ago I found a book called “Actors as Artists” by Jim McMullan & Dick Gautier, and gave it to my father who’s a painter. Filled with well-known actors who also paint, I thought the gift appropriate coming from his “actor-daughter”. The book revealed exciting artistic layers of those actors. A similar opportunity presents itself with Art By Actors, an exhibition/auction at The Stanley Theatre by the Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance for World Theatre Day. It is part of the larger Stanley Art Auction. Since I always loved drawing and painting, it seemed a natural choice for me to interview some ...

03.27.10Des McAnuff (AD, Stratford Festival) talks about why he loves the theatreFrom Des McAnuff, the artistic director of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival: It has been my great privilege to work as a theatre director in countries around the globe – in Australia, in Europe, in Russia before the fall of the Berlin Wall and all over North America.

Live performance is necessarily ephemeral: like life itself, it exists ...

03.20.10US Message by Lynn NottageFrom The Theatre Communications Group website, an alternative, or an addition to, Dame Judi Dench's World Theatre Day message: It’s been said that the role of an artist is to keep their eyes open, when everyone else’s are shut. It’s a beautiful and simple sentiment. We are cultural watchdogs. We stand at attention, observing and reacting. We excavate, uncover, interpret and unravel. We protect tradition and shape new ones. We look inward…and then outward to find ways to better understand our selves. We live in a world that has become increasingly interconnected through the ascendancy of new media, yet paradoxically ...
