Title A name given to the resource Charles Henry Danielle Description An account of the resource Charles Henry Danielle was born on November 1st, 1830, in Baltimore, Maryland. He moved to Newfoundland in the 1860s, self-advertising as a “dancing instructor and fancy dressmaker.” While he owned a variety of businesses over the years until his death in 1902, the most memorable artistic and profession pursuit of his was the Octagon Castle hotel at Octagon pond, Topsail, in 1896. He operated this establishment until his death in 1902. But rather than have a somber funeral, he chose to make his own casket and host a party instead (or, really, have his attendees party). Allegedly, 10,000 people gathered to witness his procession, and there were fights to view his casket. Though he never married, Danielle did have an heir, Frederick A. Brazil. He assisted and worked for Danielle in the last few years of Danielle’s life, and is recorded as having been legally adopted a year before Danielle’s passing. Danielle’s avoidance of matrimony is likely because of his queerness — an old friend of his, C.H. Waugh, once wrote to Brazil that Danielle “was a great lover of men. He used to hug and kiss them and want to sleep with them. I did not like this, But there was much about him that I did like.” There are sporadic records of Danielle’s life, and in all likelihood, not all have been found yet. And while there are only a few accounts of his death, the surviving depictions of his funeral point to a loved, cherished, (and probably even envied), man.

Text Any textual data included in the document Interviewee: Nathalie Brunet [NB] Interviewer: Amy Smith [AS] Transcribed by: Amy Smith Location: Memorial University of Newfoundland Date: October 29, 2023 Length of Interview: 11 minutes and 59 seconds AS: So, you had some personal anxieties around holding and leading the G.S.A. and what helped you to work through those to continue or to motivate you to keep on like leading that space/providing that space? NB: It was just so incredibly gratifying and satisfying. It was obvious that I was, y’know-with the the reasonable rational part of my brain, I knew darn well that I was not doing anything harmful AS: Yeah NB: To anyone there. There was so much positive response, there was so much support for me to do that from the larger- there it is, haha, finally. [NB: found a picture from her time with the LGBTQmunity that she had been wanting to show me] the larger- y’know, queer community around me, the people that just sort of would know that I was doing this, y’know, I’d be putting things on facebook when it was starting to happen that were appropriate and not infringing on privacy AS: Mhm. NB: But, you know you get all kinds of people saying “Oh my god that’s so wonderful and I wish I’d had that when I was in high school.” And I certainly would have loved for a trustworthy teacher to be there for me in that way too. AS: Mhm NB: It was not hard to keep going. It was a constant joy and delight to be doing it. And I’m sitting here ten years later and reminiscing and it’s such a vibrantly joyful and loving part of my life and I miss the hole that it- y’know it’s left a gap in my life and I really miss that now that it’s- that I’ve retired uh so uh, stopping was never a question [NB: laughs joyfully] AS: That seems like just another way in which you were teaching uh while being your whole self, right? You bring your baggage and your past experiences into it. NB: Mhm AS: Um, yeah. Is there anything else you’d like to tell me about your G.S.A.? NB: I have a whole bunch of pictures! [Nathalie laughs excitedly] AS: Yeah! NB: So [NB: clears her throat], okay, so this one was of when I first decided to set it up. This was in October 2013, as you can see there. What you don’t see there is the original sort of getting people’s attention at first. There was support from the district, I knew that it was fine for me to be doing this, my administration was supportive, there was no obstacles to do it, I just knew that if I just announced on the intercom “There’s going to be a G.S.A. in the school,” People would- kids included, would’ve all said “What’s a G.S.A.?” AS: Yeah NB: Ah, there was, y’know, I needed to build up the awareness first. So I took a page from a colleague who had used this as a trick to advertise some other event in the past. I thought I’d pique everybody’s curiosity, so I took some sheets of paper and one had “L”, “B”, AS: Mhm, “G.” “T.” “A.” yeah… NB: And so long, and “G.” “T.” “A.” yeah, with a few extra words like Ally, and I forget what else. AS: Would questioning maybe have been one of them? NB: Questioning possibly..? I think I had queer? Uh-nuh- I had Q, simply for whatever that would be. So it was just single letters! AS: Okay! NB: All over the school. AS: Mhm NB: What’s going on? AS: Mhm NB: A few days later, I added a little thing with the word, and a little paragraph saying, “Curious? Want to know more? Come to the library Monday at lunch time.” Whatever, so there was a meeting at the Library, I explained “What’s a G.S.A., and here’s what we- y’know, what we could do and it’s gonna be in my classroom” I picked a day of the week, day of the cycle, cause day 4 was easier than AS: Mhm NB: Cause, otherwise, if you pick, if you pick Monday then it’s going to interfere with your duty every now and then, AS: Yes. NB: So, day 4 it was AS: Mhm NB: And…so we had the next meeting, and there was a bunch of kids, and we talked about the LGBTQmunity because there was a pun was, the name that they chose, and so this would have been a week or so or few later [NB: shows AS: a picture of a sign for the LGBTQmunity] “Queer and straight together.” Drop here. “Drop in, Drop ins welcome. Meet here every day 4 at lunch time.” And that little sort of happy face there is sort of my trademark. AS: Okay yeah NB: Yeah, that was the first start. AS: Mhm. And uhhh so, you started off with a meeting in the Library on day 4? NB: Yeah, the - AS: Or it went to day 4 NB: Yeah the meeting in the library was just a one off, it was an information session so, for anybody who just wanted to know what this LGBTQ stuff was about. AS: Yes NB: So we went over that. And we talked about the G.S.A. and the invitation was made, anybody was here or anywhere else, y’know. “There will be a G.S.A. and if you are interested then you can come.” This was not meant, this was a an information for the whole- anybody who wanted to come and as part of the school population. I think we had, like fifty odd kids? Or something in there? It was AS: Okay NB: You got a lot of curiosity going. [Nathalie laughs] AS: Yeah, yeah, definitely! NB: And I can’t remember anymore how many kids actually started coming. AS: Mhm. AS: So what kind of things would these meetings involve? NB: For me I, ah, sometimes we would have a talking circle, sometimes it, a lot of times it was just hang out during your lunch break. Have a chance to sit with your group of friends and chat, an informal eat your lunch- it was their lunch break, how much do 12 year olds really really want to have like a serious meeting time happening at lunch? On a scale of 1-10 the answer is zero! [Nathalie laughs] AS: [Amy laughs] Yeah, absolutely. NB: We e did do occasionally talking circles which had some interesting bits uh, there was one group, probably not right from the start but you know, we’d go around, pass around something as the object and, you could just, you could pass all together, you could just say your name and your pronoun and if you wanted to state your identity you could because for some of them at some time it was like- and I remember when I was coming out I just wanted to shout it from the rooftop, and it was just such a drag that there wasn’t enough of times where people could ask you so you could tell them “I’m a lesbian!” [Nathalie laughs enthusiastically] AS: [laughs] yeah! NB: “So, If you want to tell the world, you can tell us right now!” But also nobody has to because that would also not be right. And then we were looking for just sort of topics that would get people sort of have something, innocuous to sort of just break the ice, and the group settled on “What did you have for breakfast?”. AS: Mhm NB: And they got all kinds of funny things like “The tears of my enemies” or [Nathalie has a burst of laughter] AS: [laughs] Of course! NB: Of course, I would not have picked that because it’s actually a question that could touch an awful lot of nerves. AS: Yeah. NB: If you didn’t have breakfast, if your parents were fighting over breakfast, if y’know, a gazi- if you have a eating disorder, there’s a gazillion reasons why that actually might not be a safe question, but the kids were- had really settled on it and there was enough opportunities to deal with it with enough-with a joke rather than being sort of lay down you got to give me a serious answer that I stayed with it. AS: Yeah. NB: It was theirs. Yeah. [NB: clears her throat]. So that sometimes happened. Much of the time they just wanted to hang out with their friends in a place that felt safe, and that was fine for me as well. AS: Yeah I think there’s a lot of value to those spaces. Um, yeah, giving kids a place to just like be themselves with people that are supportive, um. Yeah, that’s kind of like what uh, what we’ve got at camp. NB: Yes. AS: Um but also what I had from a… a special like Girl Guide troop growing up as a teen. So it’s uh, it’s important. Um… yeah, what do you have to show me? NB: This is back in 20, winter Olympics in 2014- if you’ll remember they were taking place in Russia, and Russia didn't want for people to be visually- AS: Mm yes! NB: Identifying as gay, and there was a lot of sort of blowbacks, and you know it’s a- people in Canada and elsewhere including in St. John’s saying “Hey that’s screwed up and we were gonna speak out about that.” So it was in the news big time, [NB: clears her throat]. So I had, we talked about it and I had a display in my classroom [NB: shows AS: a picture of a display in her former classroom]- there’s a pride flag and underneath here is a French quote- but you speak French so I’m not even gonna translate it for you, it’s taken from the Olympic charter “La pratique du sport est un droit de l’homme.” [NB: raises her eyebrows at AS: ] AS: [Laughs as she says] Yeah NB: *“Chaque individu doit avoir la possibilité de faire du sport sans discrimination d’aucune sorte et dans l’esprit olympique, qui exige la compréhension mutuelle, l’esprit d'amitié, de solidarité et de fair-play.” And I’m pretty sure that there was a full cohort of kids at my school that came out of the Olympics with the idea that somehow Olympics and Pride was connected- and they might not have known why, but there was a lot of stuff all over the class- all over the school! AS: [Laughs] Yeah NB: So I remember the the, y’know, there was Olympic excitement and people were decorating their door- their classroom doors and stuff, and the number of classroom doors that had, in addition to the Olympic visuals, also included really strong Pride flags everywhere. I’m pretty sure there’s kids who to this day can’t remember why, but they’re sure there’s a connection. [NB: laughs] AS: [AS: laughs] Yep. [AS: laughs some more] Oh that’s funny. You know, I wouldn’t have thought that the Olympics were a queer icon but here we are. *You can find this quote sur page 9 dans le “Rapport annuel du CIO 2014” Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Charles Henry Danielle Description An account of the resource Charles Henry Danielle was born on November 1st, 1830, in Baltimore, Maryland. He moved to Newfoundland in the 1860s, self-advertising as a “dancing instructor and fancy dressmaker.” While he owned a variety of businesses over the years until his death in 1902, the most memorable artistic and profession pursuit of his was the Octagon Castle hotel at Octagon pond, Topsail, in 1896. He operated this establishment until his death in 1902. But rather than have a somber funeral, he chose to make his own casket and host a party instead (or, really, have his attendees party). Allegedly, 10,000 people gathered to witness his procession, and there were fights to view his casket. Though he never married, Danielle did have an heir, Frederick A. Brazil. He assisted and worked for Danielle in the last few years of Danielle’s life, and is recorded as having been legally adopted a year before Danielle’s passing. Danielle’s avoidance of matrimony is likely because of his queerness — an old friend of his, C.H. Waugh, once wrote to Brazil that Danielle “was a great lover of men. He used to hug and kiss them and want to sleep with them. I did not like this, But there was much about him that I did like.” There are sporadic records of Danielle’s life, and in all likelihood, not all have been found yet. And while there are only a few accounts of his death, the surviving depictions of his funeral point to a loved, cherished, (and probably even envied), man. Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Charles Henry Danielle Description An account of the resource Charles Henry Danielle was born on November 1st, 1830, in Baltimore, Maryland. He moved to Newfoundland in the 1860s, self-advertising as a “dancing instructor and fancy dressmaker.” While he owned a variety of businesses over the years until his death in 1902, the most memorable artistic and profession pursuit of his was the Octagon Castle hotel at Octagon pond, Topsail, in 1896. He operated this establishment until his death in 1902. But rather than have a somber funeral, he chose to make his own casket and host a party instead (or, really, have his attendees party). Allegedly, 10,000 people gathered to witness his procession, and there were fights to view his casket. Though he never married, Danielle did have an heir, Frederick A. Brazil. He assisted and worked for Danielle in the last few years of Danielle’s life, and is recorded as having been legally adopted a year before Danielle’s passing. Danielle’s avoidance of matrimony is likely because of his queerness — an old friend of his, C.H. Waugh, once wrote to Brazil that Danielle “was a great lover of men. He used to hug and kiss them and want to sleep with them. I did not like this, But there was much about him that I did like.” There are sporadic records of Danielle’s life, and in all likelihood, not all have been found yet. And while there are only a few accounts of his death, the surviving depictions of his funeral point to a loved, cherished, (and probably even envied), man. Still Image A static visual representation.

KEVIN WALSH MAYOR THE TOWN OF STEPHENVILLE It gives me great pleasure indeed to welcome visitors to Stephenville on the occasion of the Stephenville Festival of the Arts. This is the second year that the Festival has been operated and is now a much expanded and enlarged operation. Being one of the few Festivals of the Arts in Canada, The Town of Stephenville is indeed privileged to have been selected by Maxim Mazumdar and his board. We know the Festival will be successful; and we trust that all who visit on this occasion will enjoy their stay and will return again next year. STEPHENVILLE is a modern town havlng many modern facilities. We have many Service Club Organizations, Sports Clubs, Recreational Centres, Gymnasiums, Shopping Centres, Churches, Parks. Natural Scenery, - and many more interesting things and places for happy and comfortable living and adventure and fun. A marvellous blending of the old and the new settlers in the Bay St. George area has created a unique individuality in our people and has placed a stamp of distinctiveness upon our very environment. Nowhere else can you experience the same warmth of hos- pitality the colorful accent and speech mannerisms, the acute sense of humour, or the unique personality traits. And nowhere else can you discover the same romantic rem· nants of centuries of history co-mingled harmoniously with modern commercial, industrial and social structures ln Institutions. Bay St. George is indeed a study in contrasts, and it is this very duality of its character that makes it well loved by Newfoundland- ers and highly regarded by visitors. WELCOME FRIENDS! WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR For a second year in a row, Stephenville is ho_sting one of the most exciting arts festivals in Canada. I am proud to be surrounded by the talent that this Festival has enlisted. The professional directors and guest stars are of a calibre that any theatre would be proud of and there is some exciting talent to be found among the young· artists who are part of this year's Provincial Drama Academy. Above all, the Festival is a tribute to the people of Stephenville. The time and support that the community has invested in developing our impossible dream into a reality is extraordinary- a Festival of international stature with its roots firmly in this province.

It is the most disciplined of the arts, requiring the emotions of· an actor, the sensitivity of a rrius- ician and the stam.ina of an athlete. No other art form lavishes such adulation on its members or discards them with more ruthlessness. But all artists, even dancers, have one tliing in common - the human instinct for sur·vival. In INVITATION TO THE DANCE Jonathan Arden has to face this for the first time. lie is no longer the great star of· the ballet that lie was. l~lours before his farewell perf~ormance lie sits in his dressing roorn brooding over the past. Two figures enact various characters in his life - his teachers, his family, his audiences; they are part of· liis Self Through them he relives his early triumphs, as well as liis struggle with alcoliol and ill-health. Slowly through these memories lie picks up the threads of· the future and before the end of the play he encounters unexpected help from a visitor. This play is a tribute to the art of the Ballet which I have grown to know and love ... and to all performers everywhere. It could never have been written or performed without the co-operation and help of the great English dancer, John Gilpin.
