dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this research is to explore and define core elements of contemporary Canadian immersive theatre and apply these elements to a new Canadian play. This papers research spans the history of immersive theatre with a focus on English language Canadian theatre. The research was explored through multiple practical productions throughout my degree at York University as well as four independent public projects. Collectively my theatre practice as a creator, director, and actor has explored immersive theatre since 2008. The research culminated in the direction of the workshop presentation of Still Still Still by Geoffrey Simon Brown. The thesis was publicly presented at the Commons Theatre in Toronto, Ontario in April 2017. The production, design, and rehearsal process of the workshop presentation is detailed through journals and appendices.
