Here’s me.
Here’s me.
I am an actor and writer from Winnipeg, based in Toronto. I am a love addict and a people-ogler, with the kind of discipline that only dancers know. I have trained with some of the best, and I am here to share my skills, my sensitivity, and my silly, spirited energy.
I am a past Playwright in Residence with Mammalian Diving Reflex, and a graduate of the rAiz’n ensemble; the performance and training arm of b current performing arts. My current play-in-development is The Skinny Show.
I have received the Spotlight Award at Toronto’s SummerWorks Festival and Best Ensemble of the Toronto Fringe, and won Black Theatre Workshop’s new play contest. I have sat on jury for the Ontario Arts Council’s theatre program, and am a current jury member for the Dora Awards’ dance category.
I have been awarded several grants from the Ontario Arts Council (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Theatre Creators Reserve; 2008 + 2011 Access and Career Development; 2008 + 2009 Multi Arts Project; 2009 Theatre Project; 2010 Playwright in Residence) and the Canada Council for the Arts (2009 Travel Grant; 2009 Inter Arts Project).
