From ‘Playing With Fire‘ by Pie-San Ng
When I first took over editing the Praxis Theatre website in 2008, the thearosphere as I knew it was bustling and largely made up of North American bloggers and also The Guardian website. Blog posts would routinely have thirty or more comments, and the creators were familiar with one another and the arguments and ideas they were presenting.
Fast-forward seven years and the theatrosphere is something else entirely. This legacy can be understood in how so many sites, including this one, use WordPress as their content management system. Websites are now so much more than an online printing press for text with some static images this evolution began with. The Web 2.0 revolution has brought a fragmented, algorithmic, heavily interactive mode of expression that includes many more voices, but each in a silo determined by privacy settings and circle of humans one publishes to. This edition attempts to capture these ‘micro-blogs’ that have become the new medium, in an older iteration of the same medium.
What have we lost and what have we gained through this process?
These are some of the more compelling Facebook posts I saw this week that were published with “Public” privacy settings, allowing me to embed them. This is a thing Facebook lets you do now.
Toronto actor Tony Nappo is making a movie with Ethan frigging Hawke. Tell him Boyhood set a new standard for cinema for me.
Darren O’Donnell set of a massive conversation about the value of a life in the arts with this post.
We made this announcement at my other job last week.
This week i tweeted that we have hit “peak incubation”. Theatre Centre should ignore this. Clearly this strategy is working for them.
Fun Palace Radio is a thing. Check it out live or online. We like projects that provide that option.
As this is after the after party, I can only assume this was taken in the hotel lobby.
I have been critical of The Coalition in the past for being too cozy with a government that is pretty antithetical to the values most artists hold, so I was pretty enthused by this post.
You can see more of Laurel’s work expressing the creative process to Charlotte’s Web via Instagram in her article in this Edition.
Oh hey Jordan Tannahill is taking over, I should probably harass him more about that Wrecking Ball play we started working on.
SummerWorks is accepting applications and doing this differently this year.
I put this in here because I was reading This Changes Everything last night and basically it’s now or never people. No one will remember the Dora noms, everyone will remember the apocalypse.

Jacob and Vicki talk about Vicki’s recent family vacation to theme parks in California, where she became an honorary citizen of Disneyland.
The line up is not the ride, but it is part of the ride.
What is the audience experience of ‘being there’ at the theatre? Let’s talk about entertaining.
