520 $a These chapters demonstrate how Nightwood's productions and administrative structure have reflected the changing nature of feminism, and feminist theatre, since the late 1970s.
520 $a The thesis examines a selection of theoretical issues pertaining to feminist theatre, focusing on Toronto's Nightwood Theatre for its examples and context. The Introduction provides a brief history of the company, which has been active since 1979, and the methodology, which summarizes issues in feminist theory as applied to performance, as well as examples from the production history and administrative structure of Nightwood from 1979 to the end of 1996. The first chapter offers a more extensive discussion of the of Nightwood by problematizing the definition of feminist theatre. Nightwood is viewed from the perspective of liberal, cultural and materialist feminism, as outlined by Sue-Ellen Case in Feminism and Theatre (1988).
520 $a Subsequent chapters address issues in feminist theory as they relate to feminist theatre in general and Nightwood in particular. The second chapter addresses the debate between cultural and materialist feminism on the representation of Woman as the subject of feminist theatre. Chapter three deals with collective creation as a feminist model, also malting to the importance of the collective in the development of Canadian theatre. The final chapter focuses on postmodernism and gender performance.
520 $a The conclusion is that Nightwood has restructured both its methods of operation and the nature of its creative work in response to pressures from within (the interests of Board members and Artistic Directors, the political goals of socially-conscious audience members) and also from without (financial constraints, the evolution of feminism as a social movement), and that this dialectic is inherently feminist in being open-ended and adaptive. The thesis provides an overview of some feminist issues in theatre, as well as a practical discussion of how these issues have been addressed by a noteworthy company. In addition, it presents an original and unprecedented synthesis of materials and information about Nightwood Theatre.
