I have been a theatre artist in Saskatchewan for over two decades. I am a director, performer, dramaturg, intimacy director, administrator, and Clown.
As a returning councillor, I’ve had the privilege of advocating for Saskatchewan’s theatre artists and helping shape policies that impact our work. I believe my connections to both Saskatoon and Regina and my commitment to collaboration make me an effective advocate for our region's needs.
Over the next three years, I believe key issues like continuing the movement towards safe and equitable workplaces, getting our membership back on stage, and access to professional development will be crucial for Equity members both nationally and regionally. In Saskatchewan, I’m committed to ensuring that our artists have equitable access to opportunities and resources by comparison to our colleagues across Canada. We must also strengthen our advocacy for work life balance and mental health support in our industry.
I’m running again because I’m passionate about advancing the needs of our members. I want to continue building connections within our region and with Equity nationally. I believe in the transformative power of theatre, how it brings community together, and I’m excited to keep representing Saskatchewan’s growing and vibrant theatre landscape.
