As is readily apparent, artists
come in all shapes and sizes,
ethnicities and gender,
media and philosophies.
All pursue beauty – beauty in coherence,
beauty in meaning, beauty in shape –
all produce a product – and when that product is a poem or novel, a painting or installation, a symphony or song; we recognize the art process immediately, and often equate the art process with its product.
But the meaning of art lies in the moment
of relationship between product and witness
and seeing art process and art product as the same
obscures the actuality of art in the moment of relationship
Theatre straddles this world of art
as product and art
as a spirit of relationship and encounter
with one foot firmly in the world
of production, of published text
but the other just as firmly
in the world of spirit.
At Trinity we are theatre artists, evolving a new personal art practice where the emphasis is on creating the conditions for this living encounter.
We both began in the world of art as production
- Alan trained at the Gate Theatre in Dublin, co-founded Theatre Compact in Toronto on his return from Ireland and was an assistant professor in the Faculty of Fine Arts Theatre Program at York University.
- Sandra began with an Honours Degree from the Faculty of Fine Arts Visual Arts Program at York University. Prior to joining Trinity Theatre in 1982, she worked at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival as a costumer, as well as a freelance designer, decorator, and painter for numerous Toronto theatre productions.
Moving theatre beyond theatre
the emphasis moves from creating a stage product
to social development in workplaces and public education
We evolved the art practice
- Alan and Sandra have trained in conflict resolution, cognitive and drama therapy
enabling the development of resilience
and personal balance through self awareness
between the social emotional sides of one’s character
and one’s individual behaviours and encounters
