Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Soulpepper Theatre Company was created in 1998 with a mandate to produce “the classics.” Since its inception, the Company has been committed to youth by providing opportunities for them to train as theatre practitioners and programs to foster an interest in the classics amongst young audiences. Its 2000 season included the creation of the Soulpepper Young Company (directed by Diego Matamoros, Soulpepper’s Head of Training and Professional Development) and the continuation and expansion of programming under Soulpepper Youth Outreach (directed by Martha Burns). The outreach included three programs: Mentorship 2000 for aspiring theatre practitioners between the ages of fifteen and twenty; VIP Youth Come Free, through which Soulpepper provided 1,000 tickets to selected community groups working with inner city youth in Toronto, allowing them to attend productions; and Bring Your Parents to the Theatre, in which young people could purchase tickets for a main-stage production at a student rate of $25 and receive a full-priced ticket for free. The two aspects of Soulpepper’s mandate – to produce “the classics” and to mount an extensive outreach program – raise issues relating to the politics of theatre as a site for educating youth, particularly when the “classics” produced by Soulpepper have been drawn from the repertoire of Europe and the United States – as if Canada has not produced a work worthy of being deemed a classic.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
