Dr. Megan Macdonald completed her doctoral research in Drama at Queen Mary University of London, UK where she wrote her thesis on the performance of belief. She writes on contemporary theatre and is particularly interested in identifying the overlaps between performance and religion. Macdonald has worked with theatre companies in Canada, Germany and in the UK. In this lecture she will discuss the line between ritual and everyday behaviours. What happens when religious ritual is staged? How do our day-to-day rituals form us?

On notions of Home: Brett Gundlock with Erin Brubacher
Immigration is essentially relocation from one home with the hope of creating a new one. What is home? How is it made? How long does it take?
Join us for artist talks on two projects that, like The Golden Dragon, draw together stories that exist in side-by-side, in a contemporary city, at a moment in time... people searching for physical and metaphorical homes.
Former staff photographer for 'The National Post', Brett Gundlock is a photojournalist and artist.

Brett is a founding member of the Boreal Collective, a dedicated group of Canadian-based photojournalists, committed to documenting issues of environmental, social, cultural and political importance in Canada and abroad.
Director of Education and Outreach for Tarragon, Erin Brubacher has developed an invitational arts practice, creating situations that interrupt the everyday. She holds a BA in Fine Arts Photography from Mount Allison University and an MA in International Performance Research jointly from the University of Warwick and University of Amsterdam; her practice-based dissertation has recently been nominated for a National Thesis Prize in the Netherlands.
