Lead actor gets new headshots in the beautiful autumn light.
I’m currently designing a micro theatre shaped like an overgrown tree stump with moss and mushrooms and berries growing on it. It will be a soft sculpture and also a tiny theatre for small puppet plays for very small audiences. Micro theatre! First up: The Bear and the Tree. I’m looking forward to sharing more as it all takes shape.
I was interviewed by Zachary Russell of CBC’s Labrador Morning about my upcoming residency at Melville Public Library. The interview aired on Sept. 20, 2024, but you can listen to the podcast version here.
I'll be spending a month this fall as the Writer-in-Residence at Melville Public Library in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and I'm really excited to read what you've been working on. I will be offering one-on-one writing consultations with writers across Labrador, holding a weekly co-writing session and hosting an open mic reading event. Stay tuned for all the details!
