Andrew Barrett (he/him)
Statement: The Administrative Cohort was born out of my desire to bring some of the process we value in our artmaking to the ways we administrate and produce. Most of the challenges I faced while practicing my producing skills were on my own. The Cohort offers a chance to demystify the systems that surround artmaking, affirm the instincts and values we already hold, and to connect and share our successes and challenges with others. About: Andrew is a queer multidisciplinary performing artist based on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen-Speaking Peoples/Victoria, BC. He is a creator, choreographer, performer, director, educator, administrator, and founding Artistic Producer of Impulse Theatre. |
