I think of myself as a connector: connecting ideas and people, bringing dreams and schemes into reality. More often than not this means working across the boundaries between sectors and disciplines, forging unexpected partnerships and rising to the challenge to look at the world differently. My experience combines interdisciplinary production with advocacy, research, policy and program development for non-profit arts organizations and government. I designed and managed the Artist-in-Residence for Research program (AIRes), a collaboration between the Canada Council for the Arts and the National Research Council of Canada that supported collaborative research between established artists and leading scientists. My years as Associate Director of Le Groupe Dance Lab in Ottawa (1989-98) fed an inquisitive exploration of the convergence between art and technology. From 2002-05, I was Executive Producer of www.terminus1525.ca, an online and offline celebration of emerging artists and new artforms. I am deeply interested in the innovative use of technology to facilitate public engagement, in working with those on the fringe of the mainstream and in shaping a creative future.
