Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. **Moving the Centre explores the work of two theatre artists who dare, fumble, and persist in bringing audiences into a space where we can all listen differently. {::}*The two plays it includes - *Small Axe and Freedom Singer - lean into the problems and possibilities of verbatim theatre to engage questions of justice and identity and the complex history all around us. Originally developed and produced by Toronto's socially engaged theatre company Project: Humanity, these plays explore the power of recorded "real-life" encounters as a way for artists and the public to re-examine our defining narratives.Small Axe charts the quest of a queer white playwright, Andrew Kushnir, who because of an unsettling moment with a friend feels a pull towards investigating homophobia in Jamaica. What starts as an artist researching an injustice to which he feels some kinship, evolves into a startling excavation of self and the stories we claim of others. To whom does an injustice "belong"? Through a constellation of exchanges with activists, refugees, priests and ministers, journalists, fellow artists, Pride Festival revellers, and many Black queer people, Small Axe invites us to sit with our differences in order to discover how intricately connected we are.Freedom Singer is a musical/verbatim theatre hybrid, constructed from hard-won archival material and family lore, documenting playwright Khari Wendell McClelland's search for his ancestral grandmother Kizzy and the songs she may have sung during her escape through the Underground Railroad. For him, the "songs are like maps" leading back to the past, the enduring impacts of slavery and our capacity to lovingly reunite with denied histories.With an opening essay by Kushnir and a concluding essay by McClelland, the book's literal centre (between the plays) is a verbatim dialogue where the two discuss the white gaze vs. Black "looking back," theatre-as-a-practice, and how centring caring and equitable relationships is what can make this kind of challenging theatre more ethical, more viable, and more truthful. Governor General Literary Award-winning poet Cecily Nicholson provides a powerful foreword.Small Axe, cast of 6 actors, including 5 of Black descent. LGBTQ+ representation strongly encouragedFreedom Singer, cast of 3 actors, including 2 of Black descent Moving the Centre is a two-play anthology exploring the problems and possibilities of verbatim theatre and undertake questions of justice, identity, and the history all around us.
