Terri Fidelak is an intermedia artist and arts organizer. She is intrigued by what is often easily overlooked - endemic flora, geological evidence of glacial passage, and the ephemera of lived experience. Through performance, social practice, drawing, and sculpture, she questions how attention and value are interconnected and uncovers ways that objects, people and environments converge to resonate with unexpected meaning.

Terri has been an Artistic Associate with Curtain Razors Theatre since 2016, and this experience has shaped her interest in cultivating a dynamic and inclusive arts ecology. Collaboration is a staple of her creative practice and she has joined forces with numerous artists and community art initiatives over the years, including with the Dunlop Art Gallery, Common Weal Community Arts, and Neutral Ground Artist-Run Centre, to name a few. She has also participated in various artist residencies, such as Medalta International Artist Residency (AB), White Rabbit Arts (NS), and Signal Fire Arts (Oregon).

As an indication of her broad creative pursuits, her illustration and design work was nominated for a 2020 JUNO Award for Album Artwork of the Year. Her work is among the Saskatchewan Arts Board’s Permanent Collection as well as private collections in Canada, the US, and Japan. Fidelak lives and works on Treaty 4 Territory in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Joey is an auteur-director, playwright, theatre-maker and actor. He grew up in South East Saskatchewan in a hamlet called, Ste. Marthe. He received a B.F.A. in Drama from the University of Regina (1987) and a Diploma from the Vancouver Playhouse Acting School (1989). After working several years as a freelance actor, Joey co-founded Noises in the Attic, a theatre company mandated to produce and create new Canadian plays on the fringe festival circuit across Canada. From 1996 to 2001, Tremblay was the Artistic Co-Director of Catalyst Theatre in Edmonton. During this period, he wrote, devised, co-directed and produced as many as fifteen performance events and full-length scripts that toured across Canada, Great Britain and Australia.

Tremblay was a member of the English Theatre Ensemble at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa for 4 years. In essence, all of his work in theatre has been predominantly in the sector of new play development. However, the process in which he has tackled each new project has varied immensely – from non-linear, interactive, environmental installations to more linear, narrative scripts, where his involvement arguably began as a traditional playwright. Many projects, began as translations of classic work and then through re-writes and rehearsal, they evolved into hybrid interpretations that were far from their original sources.

Combined, this work has garnered over thirty awards and nominations for outstanding direction, production and acting, including two Scotsman Fringe First awards for outstanding writing.
