desirée leverenz
Stratford: Assistant director of 1939. desirée is a theatre director, creator, mover and shaker, who will never wash Treaty 6 soil from beneath her feet. She exists here to bring questions and reveal stories and conversations for artists and audiences alike, so that we can all dream of a better future together. desirée is attracted to epic stories: epic in content, in aesthetic, and in spirit. She’s received institutional education from University of Alberta (BA), and York University (MFA) and has directed in large institutions and quiet back alleys. desirée has a particular affinity for working on art that is devised in nature and loves to play with traditional text in a way to transform ideas and institutions that are no longer serving us.
