I’m Joy, a Venezuelan-Canadian theatre performer, storyteller, and teacher.
As a theatre artist, my story features heavily in what I create. I know from my personal experience that finding a sense of belonging in the world is challenging. I also know there are a million reasons why youth don’t feel at home in their own skin. Through physical, vocal, and written theatre exercises, I hope to give students the tools to explore their own lives, and find empowerment by telling their own stories.

Creative Approach and Experiences Offered
*I am still building this curriculum. Please get in touch if you want more specific information!My goal is to use personal storytelling to help young people step more confidently into their skin, and through the world.
I overlap many techniques in my workshops to help students mine their lives, create content, and find the confidence to tell their stories.
The techniques I use are:
Group games and play
Improvisation
Creative writing
Original movement
**Note, that I can adapt workshops depending on the needs and interests of each group.
