FISHBOWL COLLECTIVE

Noted for its distinct style, Fishbowl Collective is a Montréal-based company dedicated to creating new work through the medium of physical theatre and collective creation. Heavily influenced by clown, Tanztheater traditions, and contemporary gender theory, Fishbowl’s pieces combine precise and unique imagery with visceral storytelling to produce a distorted reflection of society- excavating, stretching, and highlighting as though looking at the world through a concave glass.

HANNAH KAYA

Hannah is drawn to the intersections of art, research, and activism, and spends the majority of her time doing the one, the other, or all three together. Her training at Canterbury High School, the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and the University of King's College has allowed for her to hone her skills alongside exciting young creators across Canada and the UK. Hannah's work reflects her interests in explosive gender theory and social/environmental justice, and she uses her many years of training in dance, physical theatre, and creation to explore these themes. She is an advocate for accessible creative spaces, unapologetic activism, and supporting the work of her fellow young creators. Her work has taken her from the National Arts Centre, to theatre festivals across Canada, to the Edinburgh Fringe and beyond
