As part of the Performance Creation Canada festival-conference thingy in Toronto, I am taking part in the following fine event.
Panel: What Has Changed?
Time: Sat April 4, 2 pm - 3:30 pm
Location: Lower Ossington Theatre, 100-A Ossington Ave., Studio B
Moderator: Evan Webber
Panelists: Sarah Stanley (Theatre Director), John Kameel Farah (Musician), Carl Wilson (Author/Journalist), Ross Manson (Theatre Director, Artistic Director of Volcano Theatre)
Theme: What role does the artist play in relationship to major current events? Things are changing. In the past year, America has welcomed its first black president, Israel has invaded Gaza, and the world-wide economy has been thrust into a recession. Does the artist have a responsibility to address these issues, and, if so, how?
