Improvisation exercises, Centre Culturel Georges-Vanier, 2023

An important part of my life is teaching and guiding groups and individuals on their personal and creative journeys, and has been for over a decade. As an educator, I use acting and storytelling practices from a socially engaged perspective, to help us develop key skills to the art of the vivre-ensemble.

My hope is to contribute to create a world where caring, fair and free from power imbalances relationships prevail.

I have extensive experience with the theatre of the oppressed, improvisation, acting, somatic and movement techniques, directing and playwriting.

As an educator, I've worked with groups in various contexts of marginalization or opression (immigration, refugees, alternative mental health, support for victims of sexual assault, LGBTQ+, etc).

My workshops are the result of years of practical experience in character creation as well as the art of socially engaged storytelling. Since it arises directly from personal experience, the theory is direct, precise and full of appreciation and sensitivity for the mysteries of theatre and life..

Because relational security is essential to vulnerability, emphasis is placed on practicing and learning reciprocal, conscious and intentional relationships. My approach aims to be anti-oppressive, trauma-informed and based on the foundations of caring communication and consent, and I’m constantly educating myself in these regards.
