Facilitator turned artist/owner-member
The QTE's (pronounced ‘cuties’) formed in 2019 through a workshop series called Shakesqueer co-produced by DaPoPo Theatre and Shakespeare By The Sea. We are currently in our second session of creative development thanks to funding from Canada Council for The Arts and Fundraising by DaPoPo Theatre. We have decided to become an independent collective and have a wide variety of skills and knowledge in our collective ranging from collective creation, to technical theatre, puppetry, clown, music performance, composition, craft as performance, producing and more!
Our current members include: Rooks Field-Green, Lara Lewis, Steph Kincade, Jordan Jeremiah, Madeleine Tench, Sophie Schade, Sara Tilley, Alexa Kirste, James Thornton, Garry Williams, and Quincy Russell.
