Abstract

Shakespeare in Love was adapted for the stage by Lee Hall and originally written by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard. It was produced by the University of Calgary Drama Division in the School of Creative and Performing Arts from November 24th to December 2nd, 2023 at the Reeve Theatre. This artist statement is a thoughtful examination of my directorial process from re-imagining the material and building the world of the play to managing rehearsals and navigating obstacles along the way. I also pay particular attention to my discoveries as a Filipino-born and raised director adjusting to and learning from Canadian theatre practice.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
