SPOTLIGHT to think and so a show like The 39 Steps was an absolute gift because
everyone had to do that. I think that with comedy that is particularly true
– you need innate musicality and physicality to find the essence of what
makes something funny. I also like extreme things – dancers always try
to see how far they can go physically and that is also true of clown work.
Everyone in the cast had that wonderful kind fearlessness that allowed us
to really play which gave us a fantastic amount of material to work with.
What are you most looking forward to this winter season at Centaur?
I’m looking forward to the whole winter season – each play has a story
about Montreal that is new to me and Ronnie Burkett’s puppets are
so magical and surprising - but the thing I can’t wait to discover is The
Wildside Festival. I have never been to it before and I am really excited
by the line-up. Every single show sounds so original and engaging.
I am also psyched to see the gallery space brought to life by the Offside
events. This year it is all music and stand-up generated primarily by
women with Iggy Pop thrown in just to keep everyone guessing! It all
sounds like my kind of party.
Why is it important for Centaur to engage in initiatives like talkbacks
and the salon series? What do you enjoy most about those activities?
I think that one of the most important things for me to do as the new
Artistic and Executive Director is to really get to know the audience.
Years ago when I was an Intern Director at the Shaw Festival I had to
give pre-show chats several times a week for the audience in the Festival
theatre. I discovered how much more engaged and curious they were
than I had expected. Since then I have become obsessively curious about
