In this new and revised edition of Art and Politics, Sarah Jennings covers the highs and lows of Canada's most important national performing arts institution over the course of five decades, bringing the story up to the present. Art and Politics is a riveting tale of Canada's finest musicians, actors, and dancers and efforts to put their art at the forefront of both the national and international scene. Through over 150 interviews with artists, top officials, senior politicians, and others who affected the fate of the National Arts Centre, the book recounts the organization's early years; the impact of government monies first lavished and then withdrawn, which resulted in its near collapse in the late 1990s; and how in the past two decades, its CEO, Peter Herrndorf, a gifted leader, brought it back from the brink. The most recent transformations revealed by this new edition include the architectural makeover of the organization's Brutalist-style building in Ottawa, responses to the changing cultural milieu in Canada, and the launch of a national Indigenous Theatre Department in the fall of 2019. Told through the voices of those who created the organization, Art and Politics affirms that the National Arts Centre embodies its motto: "Canada is our stage.""--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 29, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 National Arts Centre|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n80051756|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 610 27 National Arts Centre.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 543992 650 0 Performing arts|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85099818|zCanada|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79007233-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Centers for the performing arts|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85021856|zOntario|zOttawa|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79063073-781|xHistory. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Performing arts.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1057887 650 7 Centers for the performing arts.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/850647 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204310 651 7 Ontario|zOttawa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1205408 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJennings, Sarah, 1941-|tArt and politics.|bSecond edition.|dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019 |z0773559507|z9780773559509|w(OCoLC)1096468538 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2255708|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
