goodnight, peter. the father of us all, the greatest of the age, and a legacy, now, for all time. i am so grateful to have known you & for your wit & love & guidance. you found such joy & wisdom in so many empty spaces: & in the loneliness of an artist's restless, endless search.

We are deeply saddened by the news that Majdi Bou-Matar, director of Suitcase حقيبة/Adrenalineأدرينالين (from our 19.20 season), has passed away. Our thoughts go out to friends at @theMTspace and Theatre Mada, and all those who were lucky to witness Majdi's work in the arts.

I produced this series through a pandemic, without childcare, while processing anger, grief and trauma with 100+ other BIPOC creatives and yet the only word I can use to describe it all is JOY. Thank you @obsidiantheatre @CBCArts @TheCdnAcademy for this Best Series win 🏆

#InternationalWomensDay is not for celebrating. It is for protesting against and raising awareness about the fact that people are still being oppressed or treated differently because of their gender.

A piece I’ve written for @macleans about the last few days. For my fellow Ukrainian-Canadians. For Ukraine and Ukrainians. For anyone caring from afar, trying to make sense of senselessness. Thank you @sarah_fulford for inviting me to write my heartache. macleans.ca/news/canada/my-l…

We’ve already emitted 89% of the CO2 budget that gives us a 66% chance of staying below 1,5°C. That’s why historic emissions not only count - they nearly make up the entire climate crisis. And yet they’re still being almost completely ignored by media and people in power.
