Across artistic disciplines, one thing brings Dawn‘s practice together: the Art of Story.
Story has the ability to bring people together. Shared experience creates empathy, understanding and transformation. Dawn is passionate about sharing stories that illuminate the experience of otherness, and has worked extensively with marginalised communities through her practice to bring to light stories that are unheard or misunderstood.
Dawn has a BA in Drama from the University of Toronto and a MFA in Theatre Studies from the University of Calgary. She has continued her skill development through ongoing classes and training and is currently a student of the ProActors Lab method with her coach Glen Gaston.

Dawn’s artistic practice focuses on Community Cultural Development and Social Practice, using contemporary art practices to create high quality artistic products that engage the community in the development of the project.
Dawn began her exploration of Social Practice through new play development , working with marginalised communities to share stories. Eventually, she developed a more multipdisciplinary approach, using whichever artistic medium best suited the topic at hand. Ultimately this lead her to working at the City of Calgary’s Public Art Program for 10 years in the Role of Program Cordinator for Community Cultural Development Initiatives.
Her personal practice focuses on body positivity, feminism, bisexual politics and the experiences of women in isolation. She explores these concepts through the written word as well as through using performance practice to create public art projects for temporary or permanent installation.
