TV, Theatre, Teaching...

Quick updates!

In the spring of 2021 I finished my contract as Assistant AD at Tarragon Theatre (a wonderful learning opportunity of me, despite strange pandemic circumstances), and returned to freelance life.

Summer 2021 found me shooting some TV, notably a series with ATO Media called Love et Lajoie, airing this winter on TFO. I also shot a few other projects, a favorite being a wonderful weird project with the NAC Orchestra and composer Nicole Lizée, Episode three of the UnDisrupted series now airing on CBC Gem.

Now as we approach the fall, I’m overjoyed to be back in the rehearsal hall as a co-director/dramaturg on The Home Project, a devised piece starring Cheyenne Scott, Akosua Amo-Adem and Qasim Khan, co-produced by The Howland Company and Native Earth, presented by Soulpepper. The whole run is nearly sold out!

Soon I’ll be started courses at Sheridan College, where I’m returning for my third semester as an instructor, and also joining Ryerson as an instructor for the first time.

On the horizon: upcoming student productions at Sheridan and York University, as well as a number of as yet unannounced development workshops. Pandemic permitting, fingers crossed.

Stay safe out there!
