All writers are collaborating. They are all talking to other people. They might go home and write by themselves, but they didn\u2019t create their text alone. All writers are part of a bigger fabric.\u201d<br>\u2013 <em>Catriona Strang<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I moved to Fredericton four years ago, I started\nto think about how I might be able to rework my solo show, <em>Piecework: When We Were French<\/em>, for a Maritime audience. That show\nwas originally commissioned for a festival in my hometown of Burlington, Vermont,\nand was intended to explore the influence of French-Canadian culture in the\nnorthern New England. Based on interviews I conducted, as well as research and\nmy own family history, it consists of a series of monologues by Franco-American\ncharacters, struggling to articulate their relationships to their heritage. The\ntheme of culture and identity in the French-Canadian diaspora seemed like it\nwould resonate in New Brunswick, but the show had been written for a New\nEngland audience. Would a Canadian audience have enough of the same context to\nunderstand where the show was coming from? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Context. The word comes from Latin, \u201ctext\u201d from the\nword for weaving, and the prefix \u201ccon\u201d means \u201ctogether.\u201d Context is a fabric,\nwoven around the thing itself, without which the thing cannot be properly seen or\nunderstood. All of us are woven into such a fabric \u2014 a family, a community, a\nhistory. These connections deeply influence who we are but can be difficult for\nus to see from our place within them. Context, I realized as I wrote, is\nrelated to subtext (\u201csub\u201d from the Latin for \u201cunderneath\u201d). For the actor,\nsubtext is story beneath story, the dynamics that drive our behaviours, the\nmotivations that push dialogue and dramatic action along like a current. I\nbecame obsessed with how deeply context and subtext are intertwined \u2014 woven\ntogether. What we are and what we are surrounded by are echoes of one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Photo-stage-and-camera.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Photo-stage-and-camera.jpg 640w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Photo-stage-and-camera-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Theater is not a solitary artform, but when I received a Creation grant from<strong> artsnb<\/strong> this past spring, I had been working on a profoundly solitary basis. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What had begun as an effort to reshape my older work had instead given birth to an entirely new project: a show that traces the history of francophone peoples in what is now the United States, but also questions how we use stories (and histories) \u2014about our national and linguistic identities, our citizenship, our ancestry, and our own personal lived experience\u2014 to define ourselves and divide ourselves from others. After more than two years of work, a show was taking shape that would explore the dangers and pitfalls of the very human tendency to use storytelling to weave ourselves into the fabric of time and place. But I knew I couldn\u2019t make that show all alone, in my house and my head, as I had been doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although solo performance has been central to my\ncreative practice for the past ten years, I never expected to go anywhere near\nit. Theater\u2019s fundamentally collaborative aspect is one of the things I most\nlove about it as an artform. I spent my early career working in companies and\nensembles, and the friction created through collaboration shaped my sensibility\nand my skillset. No one artist \u201cowns\u201d a theatrical production \u2014 and I mean this\nin a deeper sense than the old adage about small parts and small actors. In a\nwell-done show, cast and crew move as a single organism and communicate, like\nmusicians, through rhythm and movement, beautifully interdependent. Solo work\nhad always seemed to me to be a violation of this sacred principle. But since\nI\u2019ve been doing solo work, I\u2019ve learned that, surprisingly, being alone on\nstage magnifies one\u2019s dependence on collaborators. Making a solo show is like\ntrying to see yourself without a mirror. You must rely on other people\u2019s eyes\nto see what you\u2019re doing. No kind of theater is a solitary endeavor, but the\nsolo performer is paradoxically, acutely aware of the supportive infrastructure\nthat surrounds her: a director who witnesses rehearsals and helps to shape a\nperformance, designers who participate in the conception of the show, technicians\nwho are the actor\u2019s ultimate safety-net, and of course, the audience, the solo\nperformer\u2019s scene partner. I knew that I couldn\u2019t make a show all alone in my\nhouse and head, but being relatively new to New Brunswick, those had been the\nterms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the challenges of working as an artist in New Brunswick is that, since there is not a lot of traffic moving through the province, there is not a lot of fresh energy coming into artistic spaces and not a lot of turnover or disruption in audiences or arts communities, which means that they can sometimes be insular and unused to incorporating new arrivals. I found it difficult to make inroads and find collaborators here at first. All of us labour alone at least part of the time, but our work only becomes truly real when it is shared with others. My <strong>Creation grant<\/strong> arrived at a critical time in my project and my career, and made it possible for me connect with fellow artists and audiences in a way that I hadn\u2019t been able to before. Just as importantly, it\u2019s helped me to finally feel less out-of-context and one step closer to becoming a New Brunswick artist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"424\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Photo-person.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Photo-person.jpg 424w, https:\/\/artsnb.ca\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Photo-person-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Abby Paige<\/strong> is a poet, playwright, and theater maker whose work often traverses borders between countries, languages, peoples, and generations.
