At the time the promise seemed so remote, the idea of ever coming to the point where I, Amanda Campbell, *hated* the THEATRE seemed like an impossibility. It was laughable to me- more like a joke than a solemn vow. Yet, roughly three years later, I suddenly found myself questioning my relationship with the theatre, finding that it was leaving me so often unsatisfied and angry, deeply frustrated and dejected. The strange thing was that it wasn\u2019t just the mediocre theatre or the less than mediocre theatre that left me feeling this way, the brilliant shows that I was seeing, the inspired performances, the innovative and the masterful gems were leaving me with a similar feeling of complete despair.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThat\u2019s it,\u201d I said to myself one day a few months ago, \u201cI guess it\u2019s really happened. I hate the theatre and I should do everyone in the community a favour\u2014I should stop going and I should stop reviewing.\u201d So, I did.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nothing dramatic happened, nor did I expect it to, and that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I still had this nagging feeling though in the pit of my stomach that I actually did NOT hate the theatre at all. Actually, maybe I loved the theatre just as fiercely and strongly and passionately as I always had. Perhaps all my lack of satisfaction and anger and frustration and dejected despair was systematic of how much I care about the theatre in the city that I live in and how ardently I CARE about its future and its potential.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why am I so angry when the theatre here can be so glorious? Why do I come home after seeing a play that filled my heart with joy and triumph that made me SO EXCITED about the future of Atlantic Canadian Theatre and then despair as I sit down to write about it to the point that I just can\u2019t face it? For a long time I didn\u2019t know the answer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today J. Kelly Nestruck of <em>The Globe and Mail<\/em> wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/arts\/theatre-and-performance\/theatre-reviews\/conte-damour-theatre-doesnt-get-more-artistically-and-morally-bankrupt-than-this\/article17777550\/\">a scathing 0 star review<\/a> about a play called <em>Conte d\u2019amour<\/em> that is playing at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harbourfrontcentre.com\/worldstage\/\">Habourfront WorldStage<\/a> until Sunday and wrote about actually BOOING the company at curtain call. Lynn Slotkin wrote a similarly scathing review on her website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slotkinletter.com\/site\/?cat=5\"><em>The Slotkin Letter<\/em><\/a>. Suddenly these reviews started popping up on my Twitter feed and on my Facebook feed, with threads and tweets where artists from various parts of the theatre community engaged with open, public, critical, intelligent, respectful discourse and dialogue with the critics. There were some who agreed, some who disagreed, some who wanted to see the play in question even more fervently, those who conjectured about the play without having seen it- some people had walked out they were so offended by the play. Reading this it was like my heart started beating again. Someone breathed some life into me and suddenly I could see some perspective where everything had hitherto been fuzzy. I realized what the despair, what the frustration and the anger and the sadness had come from.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have seen reviews and pieces written by theatre critics spark these kinds of conversations all the time. I\u2019m not sure why this particular article hit the nail on the head today, but it\u2019s not an anomaly in the least for an article like this to go kind of &#8220;theatre viral&#8221; and for the discussions on people&#8217;s Facebook pages to be fascinating, addictive &amp; significant and vital to the continued development of the Canadian Theatre. In Toronto TWISI lived in a thriving community of communion and communication. I was a part of something special, a large group of people who worked in the theatre industry who were continually challenging themselves and the &#8220;industry&#8221; and the theatre and critically examining it and calling it out when it was being a pretentious self-absorbed egomaniac or when it got too big headed for its britches\u2026 its uh\u2026 head britches. We built brilliant and essential discussions about theatre on the backs of what the reviews were saying, or weren\u2019t saying, we called out critics, we called out theatre companies, we called out bullshit. We brought these ideas back into the theatre we made, often literally. We learned from each other and we all slogged toward actively forging (and fighting for) a better theatre for Toronto and Canada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m SO tired of all the theatre in Halifax being hailed and marketed as brilliance. It breeds disappointment when I\u2019m promised something \u201camazing!\u201d and I\u2019m handed something that isn\u2019t even finished. I\u2019m tired of knowing that people are lying to me in their exuberance for their friends\u2019 \u201cbrilliant play!\u201d and I\u2019m full of despair that there\u2019s no words left for me to describe and distinguish the truly incredible work that is being done here from the mediocrity being heralded as genius. When everything is whitewashed as \u201cawesome\u201d the word \u201cawesome\u201d loses all its power. When words lose power, so does their writer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m SO tired of feeling like the lone voice yelling in an empty wood- my opinions bouncing off the trees and their echoes smacking me back in the face. \u201cDid anyone hear that?\u201d I find myself thinking, \u201cDoes the silence mean they all agree? Or are they having secret meetings discussing what a moron I am in tiny, soft, whispers in the corners of bars&#8221;\u2026 as slowly I notice I\u2019m being \u201cde-friended\u201d both on Facebook and in real life, but silently\u2026 people slipping away that I was never sure were really there to begin with. I&#8217;m so tired of theatre criticism being made to be SO personal, when it is NOT personal. I miss my community of voices, the connection and exchange of opinions\u2014 the building of one idea on another\u2014 the way we all moved together forward and how I could feel the momentum- the future shining so bright it made me squint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cGo back to Toronto, then, bitch,\u201d I can hear the words before you type them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I want more voices. I want loud, passionate and engaged voices, in Halifax, that are speaking up and speaking out &#8211; that are disagreeing, debating, challenging and calling out\u2014 that are honest and brave and confident. I want more people like <a href=\"http:\/\/wayves.ca\/node\/215\">Hugo Dann<\/a> and I want it more often. I wish this for your benefit, Halifax Theatre Community\u2014 for the benefit of your stronger and healthier future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s clear that I still love the theatre. It\u2019s clear that I never stopped caring about the theatre in this country or specifically in the city of my birth. I\u2019m not one to back down when things are tough, and I\u2019ll be honest, it is tough to review theatre in a small city. I\u2019m not one to be intimidated or to be self-pitying, and since it seems like I don\u2019t, in fact, hate the theatre, I better get back out there and keep writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After all, one voice yelling in the expansive woods is better than complete silence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>conte d&#8217;amour (Robin Junicke\/Harbourfront) I once made a promise to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4673],"tags":[5028,4953,5027],"class_list":["post-2307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article","tag-hugo-dann","tag-j-kelly-nestruck","tag-lynn-slotkin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Conte d&#039;amour: How I Almost Gave Up On Theatre Criticism &amp;
