Cultural Legacies

An upbeat article in the Vancouver Sun yesterday assessing the possible arts legacies for the city of the Cultural Olympiad. Also, several arts and cultural types in the city were polled for their thoughts.

I wish I were half as optimistic.

Plus, in the Globe, Marsha Lederman's choices for the best of the whole fest. I'm in surprising agreement with many of her picks--especially The Candahar Bar!

About Me

My photo
Peter Dickinson
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I live in Vancouver and teach in the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. I am also the Director of SFU's Institute for Performance Studies. My academic interests include theatre, dance and performance studies, film studies, and gender studies. I am actively interested in the relationship between art and politics, and especially what the performing arts can teach us about our relationships with the places we live, and with the world more generally. Hence this blog.
