Life = change.
Theatre = change.
Pandemic = change = life = theatre.

Straight out of University of Calgary’s MFA programme, I am working for one year as Assistant Professor (Playwriting) in the School of Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia.

I’m back in Vancouver.
My hair is blue.
My life is a constant state of discovery.
The students are remarkable.
I have no time.
When I have time, I have no more brain cells.
But it’s good.

One day soon I will write about what I’m doing and experiencing here. In the meantime, here are some photographs of the wonderful Amy Chartrand, Creative Director of Montréal’s internationally renowned immersive multimedia studio, Moment Factory. She’s giving a phenomenal workshop this week and next, to my New Media class and also Professor Jennifer Moss’s. I’m proud and grateful to have brought her and some of my favourite artists and creators in to talk to/work with my students: Carmen Aguirre, Chirag Naik, Joanna Garfinkel, David Yee, and Jovanni Sy. Much more to come this semester.

I have a show on in Montreal getting wonderful reviews, and am involved in two more – Red Phone and Clémentine – coming up this month in Vancouver. This fall, as I started this job, I published I Am William and Wildfire & The Shoe, premiered a play, and won a Dora. Broke my foot. Moved.

Stay tuned for real updates. Right now, the new stuff is a firehose, and these students come first. Thanks for checking out the site.
