Edward (Ted) Little teaches courses in
Current Canadian Theatre, and various aspects of Theatre and
Development (Theatre and Social Change). Little is currently developing two new team-taught, interdisciplinary
courses: one in Applied Human Sciences and Performing Arts (with Prof
Warren Linds), and the other in Oral History and Performance (with Steven High).
Little's list of publications includes articles, reviews, and chapters in
alt.theatre: cultural diversity and the stage, Canadian
Theatre Review, Modern Drama, Contemporary Issues in Canadian
Drama, The Theatre of Form and the Production of Meaning, and
Critical Perspectives on Canadian Theatre in English. He has directed and
served as consultant on numerous large and small-scale theatre projects across
Canada.
Little is also Editor-in-Chief of
alt.theatre: cultural diversity
and the stage, and Associate Artistic Director of
Teesri Duniya Theatre.
alt.theatre is Canada's only professional arts journal
examining intersections between politics, cultural plurality, social activism,
and theatre. Teesri Duniya - a member of the Professional Association of
Canadian Theatres (PACT) - is an innovative Montreal-based company with an
intercultural mandate extending to mainstage (Equity) productions, new script
development, community-engaged theatre projects, and publication of the
quarterly journal
alt.theatre.
Selected Current Research Projects & Creative Scholarly Activity:
- Editor-in-Chief alt.theatre: cultural diversity and the stage
- Member of the Coordinating Committee for Life Stories of Montrealers Displaced by War, Genocide, and Other Human Rights Violations, a five-year, SSHRC funded Community-University Research Alliance project
- Member of Going Public, an interdisciplinary research project examining intersections between art, public scholarship, and cultural activism. During the fall and winter 2009-2010, Going Public will present a series of free public lectures by 5 notable guests: Kat Cizek, National Film Board filmmaker-in-residence at St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto; Liz Sevcenko, formerly of Lower East Side Tenement Museum, NYC, and now Director of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience; Toby Butler, geographer and "memoryscapes" expert, London, England; Julie Ellison, Founding Director of Imagining America, a coalition of universities committed to innovation in public scholarship and community involvement, University of Michigan; and Bill Cleveland, pioneer in the community arts movement and Director of the Center for the Study of Art & Community, Washington State, USA.
These events are meant to be a key outreach component of what we are calling "mini-residencies" - intensive visits designed to cultivate important international connections and strengthen relationships among community-engaged scholars and artists here in Montreal. Going Public builds on our work with the ongoing Life Stories of Montrealers Displaced by War, Genocide, and Other Human Rights Violations project. Going Public is comprised of: Edward Little (Theatre), Steve High (CRC Chair, Oral History), Erica Lehrer (CRC Chair in Public History and Director of The Centre for Ethnographic Research and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence (CEREV) in the Department of History), Elizabeth Miller (Documentary Filmmaker, Communication Studies), and David Ward (project coordinator and Associate Director of CEREV, History).
