1958-2023
Actor, director, playwright.
Creative spark at the heart of Toronto theatre since the 1980’s.
Seen here pondering a musical transition during a break in rehearsal for “I Send You This Cadmium Red” by Art of Time Ensemble.
His passing is a huge loss, though unsurprising as he’s been living with cancer for several years.
I say ‘living with’ cancer, not ‘fighting’ or ‘suffering’ with it. Of course he did both these things in the face of this terrible disease, but he continued to work, to generously lead, always projecting calm and grace.
Like everything else he treated it as a negotiation, a voyage of self-discovery.
Always, the pursuit of Truth.
A great man. An inspiration to so many.
Thank you.
