Playwriting

For the last 10 years my work came out of a deep research and interest in our relationship with the Internet and its platforms, our social life on its medias, and our relationships with AI, with corporate systems, and between social classes. This led to the creation of Mall Ratting, a site-specific secret podplay tour of the Rideau Centre Mall, Strata Inc., a community-engaged touring production about the tech sector and virtual reality, and TAHITI, about monetization of online identity, which is in its last stages of development.

My curiosities are shifting now to the wilderness (both real and spiritual), new social attitudes to parenthood and children, and finding light in impossible times. Two new works are brewing, one having to do with the Faustus myth and motherhood, and another with 18th century European monarchy and the current political circus.

TAHITI
A local Tahitian influencer brings aid to people without adequate medical access – until she is outed as white. In the ensuing global outrage she meets Rahi, an up-and-coming documentary filmmaker. As a person of colour with roots in a colonized country, he struggles with his own ability to shape her story.
A Little Fire
A famous child prodigy who paints direct messages from God suddenly stops having visions.
