I've been coaching and teaching for over ten years!

I've performed in numerous theatre for young audience productions and also work as an educator (Director, Instructor and Choreographer.

Favorite TYA credits include:

Canada's Wonderland, Missoula Children's Theatre, Carousel Players and Pirate Life.

Favorite Teaching Credits Include:

Artishow, Travelling Stage, TRAPT, Missoula Children's Theatre

Part of the magic of theatre and dance is making people forget about their daily troubles while focusing on their creative expression.

Being a teaching artist has given me the ability to help people come out of their shell, trust themselves and feel like their personalities and instruments are valued just the way they are.

MASK MINIS PERFORMANCE AND WORKSHOP- CAROUSEL PLAYERS

(Students of Christine Lowden at Lockview Elementary School)


"Thank you so much for the amazing presentation. I loved it so much, I'm so glad you taught us how to use our masks and how to get to know them.I think we learned so much from both the video and presentation. I also wished we got more time to see you and again I loved the presentation so much." -Adalyn

"I really enjoyed having you as a part of my class this monday and it was amazing. I learned how to handle the masks correctly so I don’t wreck them as well as other things. I love how you can act like a completely different person with expressions and emotions. I’m always shy around people but in reality I am always doing weird things. Sometimes I also like pretending to be someone else. Acting was always what I wanted to do and I liked how you helped me be more confident throughout the games the whole class did." -Cathy

PIRATE LIFE

piratelife.ca

 

"One of the best parts with Pirate Life In Ottawa had to be the pirate fight between Pearl (Kayla) and Pirate Pete." -Ottawa Mommy Club

 

"The crew was really interactive with us new members of the ship. They made sure that each of the younger members became involved in some aspect of our journey, from asking the kids questions; to having them help get rid of evil Pirate Pete, a pirate who was trying to stop us from finding the treasure, to learning pirate song and dances." -Ottawa Mommy Club
