Résumé :
Louis Patrick Leroux is a playwright, director, and professor who holds a joint appointment in the departments of English and French studies at Concordia University in Montreal, where he is also affiliated with Resonance Lab and matralab. His academic research and graduate supervision has focused on self-representation in Québec drama, cultural discourse, literatures on the margins, research-creation, and contemporary circus. He is the founding director of the Montreal Working Group on Circus Research, and, during 2012–14, has been a resident scholar at Montreal’s National Circus School, where he is also an ongoing collaborator with the Canada Industrial Research Chair in Circus Arts. He has recently coedited Cirque Global : Québec’s Expanding Circus Boundaries (under review) with Charles Batson, and Le jeu des positions : Discours du théâtre québécois with Hervé Guay (2014). -
In this interview, Leroux speaks of his gradual understanding of what circus dramaturgy might entail, following his recent experiences working with 7 Fingers (Les 7 Doigts de la Main) and the National Circus School. [editor summary]
