Maev Beaty - Thought #6 - Do Be Do Be Do

Thought Residencies ·

2019/09/17

Lately we've been doing a lot of talking about Do-ing vs. Be-ing at our house, and, um, trying to just take a - little - LOOK at that, and - the experience of that or our understanding of that at our house and, y'know, we do a lot: I think we are Big Do-ers, over here. Yup, we, uh, do...do do...haha! And uh yeah, and I'd like to do a little bit more Being without worrying about the 'To Do' do that's overdue. And watching my daughter do this really neat art exploration tonight with epsom salts and

Maev Beaty - Thought #5 - September 11

Thought Residencies ·

2019/09/12

My parents were living and working in New York City when the towers fell. My father watched it with his own eyes and they plucked charred pieces of paper from their Brooklyn balcony for days afterwards. Uh, that same day my husband was on a train with a group of children to perform at an international children's peace festival, but they had to stop the train at the border and bus the kids back, finding a way to explain to them why the peace festival was cancelled. Uh, he wasn't my husband at the

Maev Beaty - Thought #4 - I Am Sitting in the Sky

Thought Residencies ·

2019/09/11

I’m sitting on the third floor watching a really powerful thunderstorm sweep through the rooftops around me and I am realizing that I am sitting in the sky, i am literally sitting inside the sky. My whole life I’ve lived on first floors and basements of Ontario homes and buildings and, sitting up here in the sky in the middle of a storm, I’m thinking about my friend Liisa Repo-Martell and all the incredible artists who came together to start Artists for Real Climate Action (ARCA) that launched a

Thought Residencies ·

2019/09/10

I've been thinking about the public in the private and the private in the public which is so much of the territory that I have to live in as an actress, and I just came in from the West Toronto Railpath that runs along my home - because I'm trying to get outside more before the snow flies for walks or jogs, and I was just listening to the Guilty Feminist Podcast about abortion rights in Northern Ireland and it wasn't until after I returned to the house that I realised I had probably: doubled over in

Maev Beaty - Thought #2 - Why I'm in the Cold

Thought Residencies ·

2019/09/05

This morning I woke up in Toronto and tonight I will go to sleep in Toronto, but right now I'm standing on the platform of the train station in Stratford and I... came out HERE where it's VERY COLD to wait for a huge hurtling steel vehicle barreling towards me rather then sit one minute longer in the unwelcome, uninvited and disturbing gaze of the middle aged male stranger who's been staring at me (train horn blows) ...and who I could probably beat in a fight, but I don't

Maev Beaty - Thought #1 - First Day of School

Thought Residencies ·

2019/09/04

Hi this is Maev Beaty and this is my first thought. Today is the First Day of School. It’s the first day of grade one for my daughter and her friends. Today is the first day of my voice agent, Sandi Sloan’s, Retirement. Today is the day that a friend of mine’s daughter will not go to school, because she passed away a week ago. Today is just any other day.

Robert Chafe - Thought #11 - Emotional Energy

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/29

So a guy on the highway got really angry with me because I couldn’t, wouldn’t, let him into the lane if his choosing at the time of his choosing and so he angrily swerved around me and got in front of me and then slammed on his brakes forcing me to slam on my brakes, very dangerously, all to teach me some sort of lesson and then a full five minutes later when he was exiting the freeway he rolled down his window and gave me the finger, and it just got me thinking about emotional energy and how we

Robert Chafe - Thought #10 - Larry Dohey

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/28

Today I am thinking about Larry Dohey. I woke up this morning and checked Facebook as I am wont to do, and saw that Larry passed away suddenly yesterday. Larry was an archivist, but a bit of a celebrity at least within in our community, the creative community in Newfoundland and Labrador. He worked at the archives of the Basilica, the Roman Catholic Diocese for many years, and then at the Rooms provincial archives, and he was an endless resource to so many people in our community on so many fronts,

Robert Chafe - Though #9 - Lifelong Learning

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/27

Today I am in Avondale Newfoundland, in a beautiful little house overlooking the bay, working with Evalyn and Leah on The Dialysis Project in the capacity of a dramaturge, key collaborator. And so I’m thinking about coming to other people’s work, other people’s stories, and how to bring what I do to those stories in an attempt to elevate them without intruding upon them, and how to honour trauma and complexity in people’s stories without dramaturgically simplifying them or erasing them or any of the

Robert Chafe - Thought #8 - The Bonavista Biennale

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/22

I’m just about to hop in a car and drive three hours from St John’s to the Bonavista peninsula to take in the second instalment of the Bonavista Biennale, a project that started back in 2017 and it’s having its second iteration this year. An incredible, ambitious, beautiful art site-seeing tour across the Bonavista peninsula, where you dip into these little buildings, and some not so little, along that road that I’ve driven many many times in my life but I’ve never noticed these buildings before,

Robert Chafe - Thought #7 - What Awaits

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/21

It’s my birthday today and so I’m thinking a lot about aging. I’m thinking a lot about aging this entire summer actually. We just moved my parents into a brand new accessible house that my brothers built for them, with a little assistance from me. And it’s just got me thinking about my fate as I age, as a queer man with no kids, as an artist with, you know...skeptical about my financial future, to say the least. Yeah, so just thinking about aging and thinking about what awaits. Oh god that’s so

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/21

Had a great meeting with Brian and Sarah today about my new show and our upcoming workshop, which got me thinking about how lucky I am to have amazing collaborators in my life, which got me thinking about the whole reason I got into theatre in the first place. It was, what I called once, like organized sports for the geeky kid. I didn’t play organized sports when I was a kid; three failed years of hockey, but we don’t talk about that. And, yeah...just collaboration. And gratitude. And just being

Robert Chafe - Thought #5 - Being a Rule Follower

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/15

I’m walking around the lake and there’s a guy riding his bike on the walking trail and following him is his dog off leash and suddenly I’m filled with such, like, intense annoyance. And in that moment, I realize that I’m inherently in my life a really strict follower of rules. And then I start to wonder about how much of that naturally, innately, presents itself in my work, and if there’s any way to break that. And he was wearing too much cologne too.

Robert Chafe - Thought #4 - Something’s Gotta Give

Today Greta Thunberg departs on a two-week journey across the Atlantic in a zero emissions yacht to attend a climate conference. Today I head to my office to work on more details of sending 10-12 people on a six-month tour across Canada via car, plane, bus. Something’s gotta give

Robert Chafe - Thought #3 - Skateboarders and Failure

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/13

So I was sitting in the park yesterday and watching some skateboarders and kind of marvelling at the inherent engagement with failure that comes with skateboarding. It’s really admirable. They – usually a bunch of guys – they usually get together, and fail, try things that they know are beyond their capacity but they know they’ll only get to if they repeat repeat repeat. And unlike most endeavours that practice doesn’t happen in solitude, it happens in congregation, seemingly only happens in

Robert Chafe - Thought #2 - Get Over Yourself

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/08

My name is Robert Chafe, and this is my thought residency, day 2. So, I composed a rather eloquent thing detailing a conversation I had with a friend of mine about the very fuzzy line between confidence and arrogance and how I sometimes trip on that line and don’t quite know how to proceed. And just as I was about to send it in, I was looking at Facebook and a friend of mine’s status update simply read “get over yourself.” And so I erased my thought. And replaced it with this.

Robert Chafe - Thought #1 - The Pressure to Be Poignant

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/07

So as with all things with regards to my career, I’m going back to basic principles with this thought residency and rooting it in honesty. And my first thought rooted in honesty is that this thought residency is stressing me out. Because I feel the weight and need to be poignant and smart. And I don’t operate well under pressure to be anything. So that’s my thought today. It’s going to be an interesting month. (Note: there is an eerily appropriate distant siren wailing in the background of

Frances Koncan - Thought #11 - My Kind of Tour

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/01

Alright so I don’t know if anybody else does this, but when I travel I really like to visit destinations that were in movies or in my favourite books. Um, for instance, I’m going to Austria in a couple of months and basically everything on my list is just something from ‘The Sound of Music’. That’s all I’m doing, that’s the only place I’m going. It’s gonna be so good.

Frances Koncan - Thought #10 - Wasn't Me

Thought Residencies ·

2019/08/01

Do you ever take your dog to the vet because he’s injured? But you’re scared because you think the vet is going to think that you like hurt him on purpose because you have Munschausen by Proxy? Which is a disease I learned about on the TV show ‘House’? I often fear this. I don’t know why. Except my dog gets injured a lot and I’m just really worried they’re going to think it’s me.

Frances Koncan - Thought #9 - The Fringe Limit

Thought Residencies ·

2019/07/25

I just saw 25 Fringe shows at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival in the span of 5 days. That averages to 5 per day and as someone who loves theatre, that is too much theatre per day. That’s at least 5 hours per day. I don’t like anything that much. I saw a show once that was like 3 ½ hours. Like The Ferryman, or Jerusalem, or John. That’s fine. 3 ½? Doable. 5? No. I’m out.
