English-language drama and theatre – Story-mapping hackathon: BBIA-focussed
17 July at 15:00 – 18:00 EDT
Tell us your stories of English-language drama and theatre in Quebec! Those who identify as Black Brown Indigenous and Asian (BBIA) are cordially invited to gather with actress Mariah Inger and research associate Hwaan Han on July 17th between 3 and 6pm at McGill or on Zoom to populate the map of anglo Quebec theatre with your stories.
Participants’ stories will populate a publicly available online map, which shows us the layers of history of English-language theatre production in the province from the 1930s to today and is part of Professor Erin Hurley’s research into the history of English language drama and theatre in Quebec. More information about the project and the map itself, which already contains a few stories that LGBTQ2IA+ folks and women founders of theatres/companies/schools have posted so far, can be found here: https://englishlanguagetheatreqc.ca/.
The third and final story-mapping event of the summer will take place in mid-August (likely August 17th) and is open to all.
