The Dramaturgy of Education: Digital and Textual Avenues for Stratford Festival Student Enrichment

The post-doctoral fellow will act as an academic liaison between the Stratford Festival’s Education Department and the University of Waterloo, including contributing to the Games Institute’s joint project on a series of Shakespeare-themed video games and apps, academic support for future Festival artistic endeavours, and development of the Education Department’s distribution materials. The Festival will benefit from a development of new games, collection of metadata, and dramaturgical support. This project also offers numerous scholarly products as output, including a growing partnership between the Stratford Festival and the University of Waterloo, a collection of research articles, transferable tagging protocols and ongoing interface design.
