Marigraph

Bruce Barton

Bruce Barton teaches playmaking and dramaturgy at the University of Toronto. He has published in numerous scholarly and practical periodicals and essay collections, and his book publications include Collective Creation, Collaboration and Devising (2008); Reluctant Texts from Exuberant Performance: Canadian Devised Theatre (2008); Imagination in Transition: David Mamet Moves to Film (2005); and Marigraph (an anthology of Canadian Maritimes playwriting, 2004). Current research includes two SSHRC-funded studies: one on the material conditions and practices of new play development in English-speaking Canada and one on dramaturgies of the body in physically-based devised theatre and intermedial performance. Current creative practice includes writing and dramaturgy for multiple devised theatre projects and the creation of aerial-based interdisciplinary performance. Bruce is also an award-winning playwright.
