This course explores the history of performance on this part of Turtle Island as a way of reimagining its future. Through a series of case studies, students will grow their understanding of theatre a powerful arena for both shoring up and dismantling myths of the "imagined nation" of Canada. With a special focus on Indigenous-settler relations and the contributions of immigrant communities to diversifying the stories and aesthetics of the stage, the course will reveal theatre as an excellent forum for reckoning with the past and re-storying our shared future.
