Generational Gaps and Gangways: The Influence of Dramatic Time Structures on Narratives of Continuity or Rupture
Through analysing Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County and Amy Herzog’s 4000 Miles—both award-winning, widely produced, contemporary, American family dramas—this paper considers how structures of time shape intergenerational relations and as a result how they influence representations of aging and old age.
Presenter: Julia Henderson is an (almost finished!) PhD Candidate in Theatre Studies. Her research explores representations of aging and old age in contemporary Western theatre, and especially ways that certain plays resist ageist stereotypes and negative narrative tropes.
SLOW MEDIA: Decolonized Media, The Camera as Witness
SLOW MEDIA is an Indigenous expression of cinematic time and space, a disruptive and potentially nurturing form of community video.
Presenter: Gregory Coyes is an experienced film professional and educator pursuing his masters degree in film at the University of British Columbia, with a concentration on SLOW MEDIA, an innovative and disruptive form of media.
Hockey Sticks and Smartphones: Co-Presence and Co-Temporality in Contemporary Performance
Examining the 2010 men’s gold medal Olympic Hockey game, this paper queries how social media 2.0 shifts the temporal and spatial conditions of performance spectatorship in the early 21st century.
Presenter: Kelsey Blair is a UBC Alumna and sometimes sessional instructor who is currently a PhD candidate in English at SFU with an emphasis in performance studies. Her works examines popular performance, sport, spectacle, and affect.
