Description:Two years ago, the Concordia University Department of Theatre moved from
the TJ building of the Loyola campus to the John Molson School of
Business building (MB), joining the Department of Contemporary Dance on
the 7th floor and the Department of Music on the 8th floor. The Fine
Arts floors in the MB building are a hub of creativity, collaboration
and experimentation. There is a tight community of artists in the MB
that the average student may not know about. Outside of sharing
elevators, why is there so little interaction between business and fine
arts students?
In the fall of 2011, students in the Theatre 498 class began to
interview peers, professors and staff in the John Molson School of
Business building about what it's like to co-exist with the three of the
nine Fine Arts departments. Eighteen student researchers interviewed
artists and designers, business undergrads, cultural policy makers,
civil servants, entrepreneurs, business professionals and more. This
research grew into
Theatre ___ Business: Fill Us In, a
documentary theatre show that explores the relationship between the arts
and business within, and beyond, the walls of the John Molson School of
Business. What the students discovered may surprise you - there are
some profound differences and a wealth of striking similarities between
these seemingly disparate disciplines.
