I am an actor, artist, and performance creator. I like to make performances that invite audiences to imagine new ways for us to be together. I’m interested in what happens to a performance if we replace traditional dramatic conflict with collaboration, with an invitation to make something together.

I make most of my performance work with UnSpun Theatre, and you should definitely check that out.

I’m a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada, the University of Guelph, and I’ve just completed an MA in Theatre & Performance Studies at York University.

I live in Tkaronto on the territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit, Wendake-Nionwentsïo, Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ and the Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga. I make a lot of performance work with my husband, Chris Hanratty. We are raising two children together, Calla and Geneva, who are very cool and funny people. I use she/her pronouns.

Of Note:

  • I performed a sold out run of The Haunting with Tarragon Theatre in January 2024 as part of their Greenhouse Residency.

  • I was thrilled to bring Lost Together to OFFTA 2023. Michaela and I made almost 50 art objects over the course of ten days, and met the loveliest people.

  • You can find my essay “Keeping Good Company” in the Winter 2022 issue of Canadian Theatre Review.

  • I’m an Associate Artist with Theatre Direct and I’m on the Steering Committee for Balancing Act.

  • My performance Lost Together won the 2018 SummerWorks Performance Festival Production Award. NOW Magazine called the show “brilliant, and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced at the festival.”

  • Lost Together was presented at Progress Festival in Toronto, as well as at In the Soil Festival in Niagara, and was part of Nightwood Theatre’s 2020-2021 season.

  • I was thrilled to visit Vancouver (two weeks after my second child was born!) to participate in the PuSh Festival’s Pitch Session.

  • I perform in a lot of neat projects, including Re:current Theatre’s production of The Smile Off Your Face, which won the 2017 SummerWorks Festival Production Award.

  • Our commissioned performance installation, All the Things I’ve Lost, premiered at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto.

  • The Speedy, which premiered as part of Harbourfront Centre’s World Stage Festival, was the subject of a scholarly article by Dr. Denise Cruz in American Literary History, Summer 2017.
