‘An actor is someone who offers up his body publicly,’ they said. ‘This can happen in one of two ways. The actor can exploit himself, treat his body as a ready and obedient instrument, a product to be sold. At this Institute we do not favour this approach. We do not breed confectioners or clowns. You are not here to sell your body: you are here to sacrifice it.’

  2. Hello Eleanor,

    My name is Daniela and I am a freelance writer for a local magazine in London Ontario called The Beat. It is an arts and culture magazine and I was wondering if you would be interested in being interviewed about your writing career.

    Let me know if you would like to chat further about this. You can email me at danielad@rogers.com

    Thank you!

    Daniela

  3. Hey Ellie,
    We met at the poetry event in Calgary on Friday evening. I know you've left for Banff, but I think you're back in Calgary later in the week. Drop me a line if you get a chance, and maybe we can meet up.

  6. Dear Eleaner,

    My name is Chris Dowding, i'm a trumpeter, improvising composer, and workshop leader living in London,
    England. I have a band, Natural Causes - playing songs and improvisations, occasionally live with silent
    films, and also dancing.

    I had an idea for a project with the band, and I wondered if I could write an email about it and about
    the band - I could send an email, if you don't mind sending an email.I've left my email below. I could send some recordings and some more information about the band.

    It'd be really great to hear from you,

    Chris
