I led weekly creation sessions for a group of selected emerging artists. We were invited to create an immersive theatre experience for CSI's Toronto For Everyone's An Honest Farewell Festival. We activated a found space in Honest Ed's as part of the Public Exhibition which enjoyed sold out performances. The Creator's Unit went on to create another work entitled Sleepless Nights which premiered at the Paprika Festival and was remounted at the Toronto Fringe. You Can't Leave the Way You Came In is a journey into the surprising mysteries of things forgotten and things remembered. Follow your curiosity into back hallways to discover lost memories hidden in plain view. Imagined by Toronto's next generation of multidisciplinary creators, The Paprika Creator's Unit is the brain child behind this alternate universe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a607de4b0875c414ab64c/1406259625157-ACLKRSM8ZJ96PWLPCBP0/image-asset.jpeg Teaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a607de4b0875c414ab64c/1609138780974-AG8VLK55Q8J6TPDHOJCO/studio-58.jpg Teaching In 2020, I taught Shakespeare Scene Study and a Monologue Preparation Workshop for 4th, 5th, and 6th term students at the Studio 58 in Vancouver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a607de4b0875c414ab64c/1484662899864-KXCE7T89IGYFAPL9HMUL/image-asset.jpeg Teaching In 2016, I was the Movement Consultant for Silk Bath at the Next Stage Theatre Festival.

Clara and Cici are identical twins who have been in rivalry since birth and are now estranged, but their daughters Jamie, and Mallory are tightly connected–thanks to the interwebs. The two BFF cousins hatch Operation Double Happiness to unite their family for the Winter Solstice celebration in Taiwan. Jamie and Mallory narrate their mission to us in this heist-style, spy-movie episode—think The Incredibles meets 007. Will the wily cousins be able to restore family harmony? Operation Double Happiness is devised and co-written by Nancy Tam, Derek Chan, Jasmine Chen, Howard Dai, and Kristin Fung. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a607de4b0875c414ab64c/1582936962910-U2L1EUO20T8O0TS36MVY/20191023_163440.jpg Directing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a607de4b0875c414ab64c/1416173521596-W39TMJ4LPQIRQYTU2LY2/image-asset.jpeg Directing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537a607de4b0875c414ab64c/98fbc493-41b4-4138-959b-91525c15555a/unnamed.png Directing - Make it stand out We celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Eunice, RoRo, and Mabel. The three chum salmon swim upstream from the ocean, through the estuary, up the creek, and homeward bound into the forest where they will spawn. With rising temperatures and lowering water levels, The Three Chums will need to rely on their enduring friendships, new connections, the myth of Chang Er, and the legend of The Whooshhh—the salmon cannon—to get them safely home.

Starting at the Richmond Cultural Centre and moving through the Minoru Neighbourhood in Richmond, teams compete in language-based games to win points and earn the title of Language Exchange Champions. Created through a residency with the Gateway Theatre supported by the Ontario Arts Council, I created this intergenerational multilingual experience that facilitates play between two language groups using theatre devising games and techniques. This creation was made in partnership with the Richmond Cultural Centre, The Richmond Public Library and the Gateway Theatre. Recommended for ages 7+ and those who are comfortable walking outdoors. This project brought together Newcomers and longtime Richmond residents with a range of language abilities. Participants did not require any previous knowledge of Mandarin or English. Participants ranged from age 3-60. The Gameshow was featured in the Richmond News The Gateway Language Exchange Gameshow was presented by the Gateway Theatre Pacific Festival and received a sold out run.
