The new Contemporary Theatre Review will analyse what is most passionate
and vital in theatre today. It plans to encompass a wide variety of theatres,
from new playwrights and devisors to theatres of movement, image and other
forms of physical expression, from new acting methods to music theatre
and multi-media production work. Recognising the plurality of contemporary
performance practices, it will encourage contributions on physical theatre,
opera, dance, design and the increasingly blurred boundaries between the
physical and the visual arts.

Performance Research is a substantial peer-reviewed journal making
innovative connections between theatre, dance, music, time-based and live
art. It explores the unsettled boundaries, rapidly changing practices and
shifting definitions at play within the field.
Performance Research covers contemporary and historical performance
and promotes a cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, images and analysis.
As such it will speak to a broad readership of academics, practitioners,
critics and students interested in the exchange between performance practice
and research. It includes material from renowned artists and scholars,
as well as encouraging new voices.

PERFORMING CANADA: THE NATION ENACTED IN THE IMAGINED THEATRE
This is the first in a series of monographs, "CRITICAL PERFORMANCE/S
IN CANADA" published by our journal Textual Studies in Canada. "This book
offers a radical rethinking of the conceptual foundations of Canadian theatre
and, by extension, the Canadian nation which that theatre performs."
This full-length, well-illustrated work by Alan Filewod, begins
with a (re)consideration of The Theatre of Neptune in New France (1606),
in order to make the case that, "all of Canadian theatre, and the nation
it stages, can be seen as a replaying of The Theatre of Neptune, a constant
historical citation and recitation of the postcolonial crisis of authenticity
and displacement." There are major discussions on patriotic and military
mise en scene, the Stratford Festival and Vincent Massey, the Mummers Troupe's
They Club Seals, Don't They?, and Garth Drabinsky and Show Boat...and many
others!
Copies are available at $12 each. We believe this is going to
be a seminal work in Canadian performance studies! To order, please contact
