ABOUT ME

Hi there! 

 

My name is Olivia (she/her), and I am a Canadian performer, director and producer.

​

With a childhood defined by movie musicals and ballet class, my love of the performing arts sparked early. Growing up in Toronto, I trained at Canada's National Ballet School and The Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts, and spent several summers at The Stratford Shakespeare School. By the end of high school, my interest in theatre had broadened to include directing and producing in addition to performance.

 

I continued my theatre education in New York City, earning  a BFA in Drama from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where I was fortunate to study at both Playwrights Horizons Theatre School (directing) and The New Studio on Broadway (musical theatre). I also hold a minor in Philosophy. 

 

I returned to Toronto post-graduation, right at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was then that I co-founded Artists in Residence, a platform to supporting artists' mental health by providing opportunities for connection, community and social engagement.  

 

In the years since, I have continued to seek out artistic endeavours rooted in collaboration and community building. Across all disciplines, I am driven to create and drawn towards art as a means of connection and opportunity for gathering.

For 

With every new project, I strive to embody a spirit of openness, discovery, and joy!
