Brendan Healy – Praxis Theatre https://praxistheatre.com Sun, 13 Dec 2015 17:14:13 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.1 Elsewhere in the theatrosphere https://praxistheatre.com/2010/03/elsewhere-in-the-theatrosphere/ https://praxistheatre.com/2010/03/elsewhere-in-the-theatrosphere/#comments Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:33:23 +0000 https://praxistheatre.com/?p=2679

While Praxis Theatre became super-obsessed with our own product and process for a week, lots of other things have been going on:

  • HIVE 3 has been rocking Vancouver as the theatrical grand finale to the grand funding opus known as The Cultural Olympiad. Simon Ogden of The Next Stage has some interesting thoughts on what the event means for Vancouver and building and attracting new audiences by re-branding theatre.
  • In Toronto, Tarragon, Factory, and Canadian Stage all announced their seasons in quick succession in a bid to spare their subscribers the added cost of HST if purchased before April 30th. Buddies in Bad Times has made some hints about the first season curated by Artistic Director Brendan Healy, stating the new season, “will reflect a renewed engagement with Buddies’ social and political roots.” Luminato also officially announced the theatrical components of this year’s festival.
  • Roy McGregor wrote a very interesting piece in The Globe and Mail about the often skewed relationship between “hits” and good journalism as the world of information gets all 2.0 and hit-count-y.
  • Speaking of interactive theatre…. Check out this awesome show that’s gaining steam Down Under.  If this is half as cool as the article makes it out to be I want my ticket yesterday.
  • Finally, The Theatre Centre’s annual Free Fall runs March 18th – 28th. Included in the festival is a show that occurs in the shared office space Praxis rents at The Great Hall, but is being used briefly by One Reed Theatre (who also rent a desk in the office) as a mini-theatre for their show.

    Okay, this week was supposed to be exclusively Indie Caucus related material only, but it’s not everyday that a genuine local indie director takes over a major theatre. It’s also not everyday that an important new theatre-related blog is launched. And well the two together…
