(CLOSED) 📣 WE’RE HIRING! Artistic Director/Leadership
We’re Looking for New Leadership
Our founder, Debbie Patterson, is preparing to step away as our Artistic Director. Her departure is designed to make room for a new leader. We are not framing this as a search for an Artistic Director, Managing Director, or an Executive Director specifically, but as a search for new leadership.
We are less focused on highlighting potential titles, than in finding the right person/team as a strong fit with our mission.
We are open to either one person or a team. We would be satisfied to see one person with all the qualities, skills, expertise and lived experience we are seeking, but we also know that we may see a duo, who combined, have all those attributes or the capacity to develop them.
“Building Sick + Twisted Theatre from the ground up has been a labour of love, but it’s not something I’ve done alone. Everyone who has ever worked with Sick+Twisted in each and every capacity has had a hand in making
Sick + Twisted the highly respected and influential organization that it is today. I know, as a leader, that I’ve taken this organization as far as I can and it needs someone with a new vision to take it to the next level. I can’t wait to see where this company goes next!”
- Debbie Patterson
Who We Are
Sick + Twisted is a Winnipeg based theatre company and registered non-profit charity dedicated to creating work exploring the experience of living with a disability. We don’t create theatre for disabled people; we create theatre for everybody. We believe that there are deep universal truths of the human condition hidden behind the veil of disability. We believe our bodies tell the truth, and when we listen clearly and with curiosity, we can create work that reveals an audience to itself.
