ADISQ, Best Music Video of the Year 2012 - Camouflar

Corinne Merrel, Louisa Schabas and I created a maquette world for Galaxie's music video, Camouflar.  Inspired by B-movies of the 1970's we built a black & white city with a hill-side oasis.

The video was recently awarded best video of the year, 2012 (videoclip de l'annee, 2012) by ADISQ, it is also a vimeo staff pick.

Directed by Matthew Cyr
Produced by C4 Productions & Parce Que Films.

Richard III


I recently designed the set, costumes and props for a production of 
Richard III in the Segal Studio with  Metachroma, a new theatre company in Montreal.  This company is composed of a lovely group of theatre artists whose mandate is to open the stage to actors of visible minority.  
It was a pleasure to work with Joel Miller and this team over the past few months.

The Seventh Seal



I've had the good fortune of teaching at Concordia University for just over a year.  In that time I've been  acting as co-artistic director and well as teaching various classes and guiding the designers through the mainstage productions, one of which is fast approaching! 
Come see our interpretation of Ingmar Berman's classic The Seventh Seal adapted for the stage.

Opening night is this Thursday, October 18th.
