(she/her) is a Tkaronto based multidisciplinary artist of Irish, British, Italian and Lithuanian ancestry who works in theatre-making, performance, 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, climate emotions, place, land connection, caregiving, ritual, intergenerational relationships, and the voice. Sasha has co-created performances in basements, alleyways, bathrooms, schools, theatres, lofts and online. Lucky to have worked with companies like Theatre Direct, Next Stage Theatre Festival, The Arts Club, Soulpepper, Jumblies, Brave New Play Rites, Convergence Theatre, Theatre Passe Muraille, Theatre Gargantua, Pleiades Theatre, One Yellow Rabbit, SummerWorks, and Playwright’s Theatre Centre, Sasha is currently a research-creation PhD student in Theatre & Performance Studies at York. Sasha's doctoral research explores performance as a place to imagine and rehearse emergent liberatory futures; settler-Indigenous collaboration; and decolonization in pedagogy, scholarship, and creation. 

 

With a BFA in Acting from York University and an MFA in Theatre and Creative Writing from UBC, Sasha teaches Voice & Speech at The Centre for Indigenous Theatre and York, and has facilitated workshops and taught courses in voice, creative writing and theatre-making across so-called Canada.

 

Sasha recently shared a grief ritual and performance about living and parenting in the polycrisis at FADO Performance Art Centre, and was a collaborator on Unspoken Futures. She writes a newsletter, hosts writing circles, and supports artists.​​ When not creating, you might find her walking by the water, dancing with her kid, or reading poems aloud.​
