Melvin Daligdig

Melvin Daligdig is an emerging Filipino filmmaker and photographer whose work focuses on perseverance, community, and exploring the unknown. While Melvin's main inspirations have been action/adventure films like Kung Fu Hustle (2004) and Upgrade (2018) he has recently enjoyed branching into the comedy and horror genres because of shows like Dollface (2019) and anthology series like V/H/S/94 (2021).

Arlea Ashcroft

Arlea Ashcroft is a French Anishinaabe/Saulteaux multi-disciplinary artist from Treaty 1 Territory, with ancestral connections to Minegoziibe Anishinabe (Pine Creek First Nation). Her creations often explore themes of mixed-blood identity, cultural heritage, mental health, and gender dynamics. Her art serves as a platform for storytelling and activism, particularly advocating for Indigenous communities and addressing social issues.
Ashcroft's style is recognized for its punk rock aesthetic and raw, confrontational elements, often challenging Western artistic norms by portraying subjects with sharp, vibrant, and sometimes dissonant visuals. She integrates personal experiences, community narratives, and historical contexts to create works that are both visually striking and emotionally evocative.
Her work has received local, national, and international attention, not only for its artistic quality but also for its role in fostering dialogue around identity and resilience. Ashcroft's impact highlights the transformative power of art as a medium for truth-telling, continuing to channel her raw, rebellious energy into her visual, multimedia, music, and literary works. She is happiest chasing sunsets and camping fireside under the stars.

Yvette Cenerini

Yvette Cenerini (née Lagimodière) is a francophone Métis visual artist from Treaty One Territory. Her work in photocollage examines the intricacies of relationships and emotions through a simple aesthetic. Having obtained both a BEd (2001) and a BFA (2010), knowledge-sharing through art in the forms of teaching and community engagement is an important facet of her practice.

Hera Nalam

Born and raised in the Philippines, Hera Nalam (she/they) first came to Treaty One Territory at 16 years old. Ever since then she has immersed herself in the local creative platforms all over Winnipeg from music, theatre, film and fashion and is making waves as a true inter-disciplinary artist.
Hera attended the University of Winnipeg and acquired her Bachelor of Arts with Honours for Theatre and Film Performance in 2019. She wowed audiences with her charm when she first performed on school productions at university such as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Concord Floral and Time and The Conways (University of Winnipeg). Coming out of University, she was quick to book performances all over the city of Winnipeg in theatres including The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, Prairie Theatre Exchange, Shakespeare in the Ruins and Manitoba Theatre for Young Audiences. She also dabbles into film and landed gigs including stunt gigs for Escaping The Madhouse: The Nellie Bly Story (2019). She was last seen on screen on Winnipeg's hit Rom-Com of 2020, screening in over 8 theatres across Canada, I Propose We Never See Each Other Again After Tonight when she debuted on film as the lead actress. Hera received high praise from critics all over Canada including the Winnipeg Free Press, The Globe and Mail as well as the National Post. Hera’s performance also earned her a spot in iHeart Radio Ace Burpee’s list of Most Fascinating Manitobans of 2020.

One Trunk Theatre

One Trunk was created in 2012 as a place to conduct theatre alchemy- mixing the ingredients and tinkering with the process in pursuit of new results- a new discovery of what theatre, and by association the human experience, can be. All of our work is new. One Trunk Theatre has changed and adapted the way we work while constantly asking our favourite question: what else can theatre be?
The purpose of One Trunk Theatre, is to seek the trunk where all artistic disciplines begin and through creation and collaboration, branch out to create innovative performance styles. One Trunk Theatre aims to offer creative spaces, processes and opportunities that allow artists to work to their full potential; and to expand the theatre art form, through collaboration and partnerships with other artists, students, community members and organizations. The process is as important as the product.
