CTR 163 (Summer 2015): Performance Futures: Imagining
Theatre in 2030, edited by Jenn Stephenson and Laura Levin, explores very recent innovations in theatre and performance, and asks what they can tell us about where the field is headed. Focusing on new formats of theatrical production and reception, contributors
have been invited to answer the question: "What will the performance landscape in Canada look like in fifteen years?" This is not theatre in a distant sci-fi future but theatre that is just around the corner. The assembled collection brings together voices
that are passionate and visionary, and address such disparate topics as the future of theatre in online venues, the future of interculturalism and cultural diversity in theatre, the future of theatre funding, and the future of theatre criticism. The script
featured in this issue is Concord Floral, winner of the 2015 Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play. Written by Governor General Award-winning playwright Jordan Tannahill, and co-created with acclaimed artists Erin Brubacher and Cara Spooner
along with a group of exceptional Toronto teens, this powerful text exhibits alternative ways of representing the lives of tomorrow's youth as well as more ecologically responsive human futures. Concord Floral is accompanied by an arresting series of
staged photo-portraits by Erin Brubacher, which help reconceptualize the boundaries of a theatrical script and production.
