Dealer’s choice: what would you like to share with everyone?
I came to Cranbrook from Edmonton where I was a child and youth care student also working in the field at a youth engagement program ran by the University of Alberta. I am also an artivist (artist/activist) as well as trained in theatre of the oppressed. I did a lot of activism work in Edmonton supporting LGBTQ youth rights. I am always looking for opportunities to use my unique skill set. If you need a theatre of the oppressed practitioner or artivist I’m here and ready to find my next project to work on!
