We mined the great Canon of the Great Bard for 200 monologues that are typically performed by women. I teamed up with Jonathan Heppner and Kimberly Purtell to whittle the list down to 50 for piece we’re developing, SHAKESPEARE’S VOICE. Produced by Theatre Local and with development assistance by Videocabaret, SHAKESPEARE’S VOICE was workshopped in September […]
Ever a highlight of the Toronto festival season, I was once again excited to be part of the 2012 Luminato Festival.

With the festivals support and though partnerships with Theatre Local and Rose Jacobsen through PicassoPro/Creative Trust, I ended […]
Springing out of a coincidental conversation at the ARTISTS’ WEEK FESTIVAL in 2009 I began collaborating with Ruth Tait of Talking Pictures. Over the course of 6 months I we put together My Origami Motorcycle, the graphic novel. It has since been published by Domestic Tragedy Press with distribution in Toronto Montreal and New York […]
RPM has to be one of the coolest projects I’ve ever worked on. Getting together with my collaborator of almost 10 years, respected Quebec theatre artist Émilie Gauvin and writing on bikes for a month was truly incredible. We ended with a workshop presentation at the Studio de creation of Théâtre français de Toronto made […]
