charters

Join Owen Charters, President and CEO of the Boys and Girls Club, for a presentation about how nonprofits engage others in their causes.  How do we ‘pitch’ empathy powerfully, but in a short amount of time and where audiences have fleeting attention spans?  Ultimately, we have to create an emotional connection, often in a span of only 30 seconds.

Our 2016 lecture by Jillian Keiley marks the third collaboration in a partnership between Museum London, the Public Humanities, and the School for Advanced Studies in Arts and Humanities at Western University.

In 2012 Keiley was appointed Artistic Director of English theatre at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa where she continues her prolific work in the arts. Originally from St. John’s, Keiley founded the theatre company Artistic Fraud, an active troupe that produced Robert Chafe’s Lemons, Afterimage, Oil and Water, and Under Wraps; Ron James’ Up and Down in Shakey Town, and Keiley’s productions In Your Dreams and Freud.

At the National Arts Centre, Keiley has produced Metamorphoses: Based on the Myths of Ovid as well as a new interpretation -- with Andy Jones -- of Tartuffe set in Newfoundland. More recently, she has directed the premiere of Colony of Unrequited Dreams for Artistic Fraud in St. John’s, and The Diary of Anne Frank for the Stratford Festival. Her production of Alice Through the Looking-Glass has toured to the Confederation Centre (Charlottetown), the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre (Winnipeg), and the Citadel Theatre (Edmonton), featuring local casts in each city. In 2016, Keiley is directing Twelfth Night for the National Arts Centre, and As You Like It for the Stratford Festival.

Keiley won the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council Emerging Artist of the Year Award in 1996, the Canada Council for the Arts’ John Hirsch Prize in 1998, and the Siminovitch Prize in Theatre in 2004. She is a graduate of York University and the recipient of an honorary doctorate from Memorial University.
