Performing

In 2011 I had the pleasure of performing with a new company, Keystone Theatre. The show is called, "The Last Man on Earth" and opened at the Toronto Festival of Clowns as well as playing in Hamilton in August 2011. The show is presently touring the Fringe Theatre circuit, Montreal, Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton. Here is a link to their website; www.keystonetheatre.net and you can check out reviews in the peanut Gallery.

Mask Messenger (Faustwork Mask Theatre) Solo show featuring masks and body language for all ages. Touring again in the 2012/13 school season. Show is available for booking all year round. If you need the show during non-scheduled times then please contact Faustwork Mask Theatre or Prologue to the Performing Arts and request the show.

I am working with Crow's Feet Physical Theatre and Artistic Director Alisa Walton again developing a new show for workshop this fall and production in 2013.

My long time friend and colleague David Langlois, Artistic Director of Metaphysical Theatre needed some help with his Toronto Fringe 2012 show, "Pierrot and the Moon" so I jumped in to fill a couple of small roles in the play. You can read a couple of reviews in the Peanut Gallery in the Press section. The play was chosen for the Best of the Fringe but unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts the play could not take part and another play chosen in our place.

Teaching

Master class in Commedia Dell'Arte in Winnipeg on August 28/12. Class for theatre company and public workshop.

I continue teaching, offering workshops throughout the year when I am not touring. You can read a list of available workshops and description details in the Teacher's Lounge section.

I will also be offering a workshop series titled "Reach Out Dramatically" which will be used to raise money for relief work for poor communities in Haiti. Workshops for this program are available throughout the 2012/13 school year.

Other Projects

Third World Awareness. I continue my work with this terrific organization and recently returned from Haiti in May. I am a former member of the Executive Committee. Next trip is May 2013.

I will be volunteering soon once again for the Canadian Department of Peace Initiative Toronto Chapter. The first ever legislative Bill for a Department of Peace in the Canadian Parliament, BILL C-447, was tabled on Sept. 30, 2009 in the Parliament as a Private Members Bill by the NDP MP Bill Siksay (Douglas-Burnaby), and seconded by the Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis (Scarborough-Agincourt). The Bill calls for a Federal Department of Peace, headed by a Cabinet level Minister.
