Abstract

As a popular theatre worker in Nova Scotia — meaning essentially that my work is marginalized, unrecognized, and often even I am not sure how to describe what I do – I crave the opportunity to reflect deeply on my practice as it relates to my values and my understanding of why I do this work. Given this, I was very excited to have the opportunity to come together with fellow Popular Theatre workers, from other countries and the rest of Canada, at Rencontres Internationales de Théâtre d’intervention (RITI), hosted by Théâtre Parminou, in Victoriaville, Quebec, in June 2004.
