Abstract

New World Stage, International Performance. Harbourfront Centre, Toronto. January-June 2007 New World Stage is the latest reincarnation of what used to be the DuMaurier World Stage festival held at Harbourfront every other spring, alternating with the Theatre Festival of the Americas in Montreal. Ever since the withdrawal of tobacco funding, Harbourfront has been struggling to reinvent the festival. Two years ago, as the World Stage Festival: Flying Solo, it economized while maintaining thematic focus by featuring solo work. Now it returns as a kind of serial festival, featuring seventeen shows (including one double-header) spread over six months rather than the usual two or three weeks and linking up with the Harbourfront Festival’s HATCH : Emerging Performance Projects and with Toronto’s new Luminato interdisciplinary arts festival in June.
