FAQs: The Project Until Now and Looking Forward
Here are answers to questions about the next phase of the Gatherings project:
Did your project title change?
Yes. Gatherings: Archival and Oral Histories of Performing in Canada is now simply known as Gatherings: Archival and Oral Histories of Performance. This reflects our project’s continual troubling of nationalist orientations to the study of performance histories enacted upon the lands where we live, work, and conduct research.
Who is Involved in this Project?
The partnership phase of our project brings together a collective of thirteen researchers partnering with locally-situated partner organizations (across the artistic and heritage sectors), to deepen methodological approaches to performance history, with a particular focus on the investigation of oral history, archival research, and digital humanities. Partnership with organizations Canada’s Theatre Museum/Musée canadien du théâtre, Playwrights Canada Press and Dance Collection Danse provide critical support for the project’s knowledge mobilization activities. Additional expertise from eight collaborators enriches the project’s approaches and oversight. For the Partnership phase of the project, we added a significant number of Partner organizations and Collaborators to our already robust team of Co-Investigators.
How Can I or My Organization Get Involved?
Our Partnership project programming and timelines provide for the development of new relationships and partners, over time, alongside the deepening of relationships with existing partners, across the next seven years. More details concerning the project’s open programming, as well as ongoing recruitment, outreach, and collaboration with additional new partners, will be provided on the partnership project phase website, which is currently under construction.
