June 27-30, 2013
LMDA welcomed you to Vancouver for four days of insightful conversation and discovery.
LMDA’s Annual conference, Adapting to Change: Creative Response in the Terminal City, welcomed over 100 dramaturgs, literary managers, and theatre practitioners from across North America to Vancouver, June 27th– 30th, 2013. Sited at the new Vancouver SFU School for the Contemporary Arts campus in historic downtown Vancouver, the conference brought together multiple perspectives on transformation and adapting to change – at the individual, institutional, and cultural level. The conference took advantage of the tensions of its downtown site, and offered opportunities to experience Gastown and the Downtown Eastside through a creative lens. The role of dramaturgs and cultural institutions in leading and responding to change was the focus of the conference programming.
