SUMMARY:Welcome to My Renaissance – Poetry/Publishing Fandango: Publisher’s Forum
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to My Renaissance is an artist-in-residency featuring Calgary playwright Eugene Stickland and friends. \nPoetry/Publishing Fandango: Publisher’s Forum.\nB House and the future and recent past of publishing in this day and age. \nGuests: Kirk Miles\, Neil Flemming\, Tyler Perry\, Derek Beaulieu and others \nIn 2009 we started B House Publications\, with an eye on publishing primarily plays and poetry that otherwise might be forgotten. That was 15 years ago.  More recently\, I partnered with a theatre company to publish a play they had commissioned and produced the premier production. Whatever happened to B House and what does the future of publishing look like today? Are books necessary any longer? Are they important aspects of the writing process or merely quaint artifacts\, reminders of a bygone age\, an age most of us actually lived in and were certainly shaped by. \nAn informal discussion open to anyone interested in writing\, in publishing\, or in creating books and preserving a part of our local culture. \nAfterwards\, we will adjourn to the Ship and Anchor Pub on 17th and join the Drunken Poets Society for some poems and beer and continued convivial conversation. \nAbout Eugene Stickland \nBorn and educated in Regina\, after completing an MFA in Theatre at Toronto’s York University\, Eugene arrived in Calgary in 1994 and began a ten year residency at Alberta Theatre Projects.

SUMMARY:Welcome to My Renaissance – The Story of a Novel\, The Piano Teacher TIME TBA
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to My Renaissance is an artist-in-residency featuring Calgary playwright Eugene Stickland and friends. \nThe Story of a Novel: The Piano Teacher. Time TBA.\nFirst there is the task of writing the book in the first place. In my case\, this was a departure from writing plays\, newspaper columns and poetry. So how does the approach and execution differ? And then what happens after the book has been written? What are the best options for publishing? Once published\, how can one keep it alive in a world of a billion books. In the case of The Piano Teacher\, there has been talk of turning it into a movie. What does that process look like? We will look at different aspects of the life of a novel and I will give a brief reading from the book. Anyone interested in writing a novel\, maybe shifting from one form to another\, all are welcome! \nAbout Eugene Stickland \nBorn and educated in Regina\, after completing an MFA in Theatre at Toronto’s York University\, Eugene arrived in Calgary in 1994 and began a ten year residency at Alberta Theatre Projects.

SUMMARY:Literature and Freedom
DESCRIPTION:The Calgary Institute for the Humanities presents the 6th Annual Naomi Lacey Memorial Lecture\nIn the century between 1750 and 1850\, the idea of freedom became a central concept for the ways in which European writers understood themselves and their literary works. Yet different writers had very different types of freedom in mind. While some focused on the freedom from patronage\, others talked about the freedom from the pressures of the literary market—and still others about the freedom from the rules governing individual genres\, or even a more abstract sense of freedom that readers could experience when reading literature. Drawing on texts by Rousseau\, Goethe\, Schiller\, and others\, this talk assesses how these various types of freedom coalesced into a concept of literature whose legacy is still felt today. \nMartin Wagner (Ph.D.\, Yale University\, 2014) is Professor of German at the University of Calgary. His research focuses on German literary and intellectual history of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His latest book\, A Stage for Debate (University of Toronto Press\, 2023)\, assesses the contribution of the most important German-language stage of the nineteenth century\, Vienna’s Burgtheater\, to the social and political debates in Austria. He currently works on a SSHRC-funded project on the history of obedience in Germany.
