We were in residence at Matralab research-creation centre throughout the entire process. Thanks to Sandeep Bhagwati and the Matralab team for its continued support!

Most of the research-creation process involved Concordia’s Hexagram Institute for Research/Creation in Media Arts and Technology. We thank them for their continued technical, moral, and material support over the three years; and for access to a much needed laboratory space in 2011-12.

The Department of Theatre at Concordia and our colleagues there were extremely supportive of the process and tolerated our begging, bartering, borrowing, and even fully collaborating with us in year 3 with an ambitious production of Witchcraft.

Thanks to the Department of English and to the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Culture and Society for its support throughout, and especially to the PhD in Humanities program for allowing its students to devote themselves to such a time-consuming project.

Programs of each of the three years’ productions are in PDF form on the website.
