On March 6, CBC radio host and advertising industry veteran Terry O’Reilly and Charles Acland, professor and Concordia University Research Chair in Communication Studies, discussed the history and shifting world of advertising, from its 19th-century beginnings to challenges and opportunities in the present-day wired reality.
And on March 12, Lyn Heward, former director of creation at the Cirque du Soleil, was joined on stage by Louis Patrick Leroux, an associate professor in Concordia’s departments of English and French Studies.
Following a brief, modern circus performance, their talk included Leroux’s experiences imbedded in the creation of a circus show and Heward’s take on Cirque’s success.
