ABOUT THE ARTIST

A professional artist in a wide array of creative live arts, Dora works to create and support art in the spirit of collaboration. Working predominantly in her hometown of Winnipeg, Dora has over twenty years of professional experience in theatre and film as a director, actor, producer, instructor, and administrator.

A graduate from the University of Winnipeg honours theatre program,
and a participant in Stratford’s Michael Langham Workshop for Assistant Directors, Dora’s training in direction, classical theatre, voice, and movement has led her down an enriched artistic path. As a director, Dora strives to produce risky, non-traditional work in safe, supportive settings where every person in the room has a voice.

Founding Producer of Shakespeare in the Pub, Youth Mentorship Manager at Creative Manitoba, proud member of The Fu Fu Chi Chi Choir, and her favourite role as “mama”, Dora wears many hats and is a driven cheerleader for our Winnipeg arts community.
