Biographie

Jo's work is community driven and can be seen across Canada. She has worked as an arts educator, theatre and movement coach, puppeteer and mom. With a background in expressive arts therapy, peacebuilding, and placemaking the nature of her work is constantly changing to bring out the best in her collaborators and students. Jo’s work includes theatre and performance art, puppetry, dance, installation, storytelling, visual art and sculpture. From directing theatre with and for the young, creating inter-generational art, devising multidisciplinary experiences to whatever your community is willing to dream up with her next, Jo is willing to give it a go!

Échantillons des projets ou du programme

Puppetry

Making objects come to life! Making puppets and techniques for how to use them, such as focus and movement. Sock, bunraku, finger or large scale different styles of puppetry to engage any age or group.

Creating Characters

Making characters for stories, comics or stage. We go through the essentials of developing characters into dynamic players in their story or script.

Making together

Collaboration! The skills and building blocks needed to make something together from nothing! Learning how to accept and use each others ideas in a collaborative way, participants will crate a work of art together by the end.

Témoignages

The most impressive thing in my opinion about Jo is her ability to mentor and create an environment of confidence and fearlessness.
