OUR TEAM
Jessica Watkin: Artistic Director
I was born in small town Ontario and moved to Toronto for graduate school. I'm pursuing my PhD in accessible approaches to creating performance by disabled artists in Canada. I think and practise care and support daily, love wine and coffee and books, and I am drawn to any body of water. I write plays and poetry, tweets and blog posts, greeting cards and loving gooey text messages. I love my friends and sweaters and November to February. I like singing at sunset and making bad jokes. Sometimes I struggle and sometimes I'm an island and sometimes I reach out and I always believe in it taking a village to survive these days. I have three tattoos that are all about my family and I like to bring people flowers. I love hosting. Oh, I'm blind, and I travel the world and live alone and am a lover and a fighter.

Social Media
Zoe Elisabeth
Social Media Coordinator
Hello, my name is Zoe Elisabeth and I am a Sociology and Gender Studies student at Trent University. I love school and learning and have dreams of one day getting my PhD and being a mediocre professor that students do not totally despise. I have a passion for all things social activism but focus majorly on disability rights, reproductive justice, and environmental activism. I am looking forward to delivering content from our wonderful writers to the world.
