(she/her) is a Tkaronto based multidisciplinary artist of Ashkenazi Jewish and European descent who works in performance, theatre-making, research, writing, music, and facilitation.

 

With a practice rooted in the project-specific exploration of creative form and process and the tensions and play between them, Sasha's work explores climate justice, place, caregiving, ritual, intergenerational relationships, and the voice. Sasha has co-created performances in basements, bathrooms, schools, theatres, lofts and online. 

 

With a BFA in Acting from York University and an MFA in Theatre and Creative Writing from UBC, as a research-creation PhD student in Theatre & Performance Studies at York, Sasha's doctoral research explores care, relationality and decolonization in scholarship, creation and performance. She is curious about how ancestral and land connection might support artistic works of sacred relationship (to the earth, the more-than-human world, creators, participants/audiences) and seed emergence and radical hope.

 

Sasha teaches at The Centre for Indigenous Theatre and York, and has facilitated workshops and taught courses in theatre, writing, and voice across (so-called) Canada. Currently working on a grief ritual about parenting in the polycrisis, Sasha writes a newsletter, hosts writing circles, supports artists, and is adapting a play for the screen.​​

 

When not creating, you might find her walking by the water, dancing with her kid, or reading poems aloud.​ Thank you for being here. Please say hi.
