Author Information
Altaire Productions & Publications first opened in the 70's as Studio Altaire in Toronto’s Kensington Market as a public art studio for the works of artist Terrence Tasker. In 1981, Tasker and Marie Slaight moved to Montreal in the late 70's and opened Studio Altaire on the infamous St. Lawrence Blvd in 1981. They occupied 12,000 sq. feet of loft and office space above the French café-theatre La Licorne. Comprised of a 100-seat theatre and a separate art gallery as well as workshop and recording space, Studio Altaire featured theatre companies such as The Painted Bird Ensemble and St. Antoine Street Theatre companies, late night jazz and punk concerts, poetry readings, acting workshops, art exhibits and more. Altaire Productions & Publications was then founded by Marie Slaight in 2008 in Sydney, Australia, as an arts production company for independent artists. Altaire has co-produced such films as Bury The Hatchet (USA) and Raymond Carver’s Whoever Was Using This Bed (Australia) as well as jazz recordings and other works. The first book publication from Altaire was The Antigone Poems, a book of poetry and art created by the original Altaire founders while living in Toronto and Montreal in the 1970s. They are presently located in Port Adelaide, Australia and are publishing the 29 distinct directories of The Altaire Manuals: International Publisher and Author Resource in 14 volumes.
