Message from the Executive Director
In our training as theatre artists, we are taught that our success as artists
is dependent on finding our own voice and expressing it as authentically
as possible. As such the concept of competition, while applicable to the
business of art, has nothing to do with the creation, or intrinsic value of art.
For me the value of art can be found in its ability to render me breathless
and reintroduce wonder into my cypher, which the Quebec English-language
theatre community does for me on a regular basis. We at QDF hope that this
calendar, featuring the offerings of spring/summer, will help to find works that
add a little wonder to your life.
Deborah Forde
BTW, just because we don’t seek to compete artistically, does not mean we do
not have the competitive spirit. Twice a year, we at QDF invite that spirit out to
play with our annual softball tournament and our trivia night. Featured below
are the laureates of QDF’s 2016 Quiz Night, Geordie Productions.

SPOTLIGHT on Repercussion Theatre
7 July - August 3
www.repercussiontheatre.com
for show times and locations
Artistic Director: Repercussion Theatre
Illustration by
Aline D’Amicantonio
Astra Illustrations
In the lead up the the summer season, QDF sat down with Amanda Kellock, Artististic Director
of Repercussion Theatre, to discuss her freshman year, and the upcoming production of Julius
Ceasar.
Let’s start by talking about your first year. You’re finished your first year, so any
surprises you weren’t anticipating?
Not really in terms of the company or the work itself. I think I probably learned a lot
about just how much work goes on the entire year, just to put up a show for 4 weeks in
the summer. And given that I was also Artist-in-Residence at Concordia for the year… it
was a lot!
The other part that’s very different for you than any theatre company is this thing
about constantly moving the show. What does that require?
Well, it requires thinking a lot about how you build everything because you know that it
needs to be packed and unpacked every day. You know it needs to be carted around by
human beings ever day. It needs to withstand the weather and be all packed “tetrislike” into two trucks. That’s one of the things we’re doing right now. I’m talking with our
production manager and our technical director about what types of materials we can
investigate that will be sturdy, light, weather-resistant, and be easy for actors and crew
to carry and store.
What does that mean though in terms of the rehearsal process? As a director, how
do you build that fluidity into the process?
Well one of the things we do is move out into the park as early as possible. So this
summer we’ll spend 3 weeks in the rehearsal hall and then we’ll spend a week and a half
outside. There’s a full week of rehearsal that is just outside so that they can start to get
used to the sun and the bugsShakespeare in the park, Repercussion Theatre, prides itself on being and is one of
the most accessible works that you find in theatre. Partially because of where you
do it -open and in the park, and the other part is because its pay-what-you-can, is
that right?
Yeah, we actually call it free-will donation.
Okay, so let’s talk about this year’s show because I hear exciting things are
happening. Tell us about this year’s show.
Sure! It’s an all female production of Julius Caesar. (...)I had the idea, essentially last
year, when I was auditioning people for Twelfth Night. I think I saw about 75 women and
about 15 men and I was essentially looking for 7 men and 3 women and just the scope
of that inequality really hit me hard. I ended up in that instance changing two of the
roles to women because I just couldn’t stomach it, and because I just wanted those two
particular women in the show. (So the cast ended up being split – 5 men and 5 women.)
But as I was watching these auditions – I mean, I was watching the actors you know, no
actors out there should think, “Directors are thinking about other shows when they’re
watching me!” – but while I was watching them, the idea hit me and I just knew: next
summer I’m doing an all-female show.
19
I had known that I wanted to do Julius Caesar for a while and it felt like that was kind of
the perfect show to explore with all women.
Why?
Because in some ways it’s such a masculine play – or what we consider to be
“masculine”. It’s about politics, it’s about honour, and it’s about conspiracy, power.
It’s about all of these things that I think we tend to associate with men, or an idea of
maleness, of manhood. Yet, in my life, I think about politics. I think about power. I think
about how people act with each other, and how social change happens. So it frustrated
me that in the Canon, roles like Cassius and Brutus and Antony and Caesar and Casca
are inaccessible to me because I’m a woman, and yet I identify with those characters
so much more than I identify with Calpurnia or Portia - the only two women in Julius
Caesar - and they’re wonderful characters, they’re really fascinating people. But for me, I
feel like it’s a really exciting world for women to have access to. For a number of reasons:
I think it’ll be really interesting for an audience to see women speaking these parts but
I also think it’s really useful for women, as actors, to be able to imagine themselves in
those parts, to play those parts, and to speak those lines. For women in the audience to
be able to see themselves in positions of power. Obviously we’re not the only piece of
culture in the world - there are other instances of – and I think this is true in television
right now, especially – that there are more and more really strong roles for women that
are exciting. I think it’s important for an audience to see themselves reflected on stage
and I think women seeing other women in a variety of positions of power is a really
useful tool along the road of more and more women stepping into their own sense of
who they are and their own power.
It’s interesting that you say that because I do see this “women embodying power”
more in television but what I think is interesting – well, curious about, is that they’re
being directed to embody that power the way a man would. Are you looking at that
in terms of production and process?
Yes! That’s one of the questions, because when I first decided I wanted to do Julius
Caesar with all women, the first thing I had to figure out was: are the characters women
or are the actors women playing male characters? So I thought about that for a long time
and the conclusion that I came to is that I fundamentally believe that if the characters
were women, the story would not go the way it does. Because if I believed that women,
given that sense of power, would do the same thing then . . . I give up. I give up on the
world. So once I made that discovery for myself, then I decided on the idea that this is a
sort of post-apocalyptic world where for whatever reason there are either only women
left or enough women left that they have basically taken control, and essentially as a
ritual reminder of what not to do – they perform Julius Caesar. Because the play itself
is incredibly depressing given that, historically, we know that Antony and Lepidus and
Octavius are just gonna divide the known world amongst themselves and then they’re
gonna fight amongst each other and then Lepidus is gonna die and Antony is gonna die
and Octavius will become Augustus and the Roman Empire will start, and eventually
fall…. It’s just a cycle of violence and power and corruption and so I’m super interested in
asking : what might a truly “female” power look like? One of the things we’re exploring,
because there is a war at the end of the play, is if women went to war - and women do
go to war but a war that has been sort of designed by men for the most part - if women
fought how would they fight? Would they use different strategies? And one of the things
that I sort of landed on (in part because of the woman who is my assistant director on
the show, Jessica Abdallah) is the idea of capoeira – she’s been doing capoeira for a few
years now. We were both really excited by the idea of a form of fighting so connected
to ritual, to music, to performance, and to the need to hide the fact that one is training
to fight… It’s a bit more of a level playing field in terms of opponents because you can
be smaller, lower to the ground, and still take someone out because of the way that
you move. So that’s something we’re really going to explore a lot in rehearsals as we
reimagine how to approach this war in the show. We’re not necessarily just transposing
capoeira into the show but using it as a base, and Jessica’s going to bring in one of her
capoeira teachers (mestre), who’s a women, to come in and teach us and talk to us also
about the roots of capoeira and the history, because we want to approach it with a sense
of respect. I think it will bring a lot to our exploration. One of the things that I want to talk
about and explore is: does our very notion of power actually have a gender and can we
re-imagine what power looks like if it is more infused with “femaleness” – whatever even
that is.
