​

Adam is an award-winning performer, director, writer and producer. 

 

In 2014 Adam created BAD NEW DAYS to produce his own projects and explore his vision of a contemporary poetic theatre of gesture.

 

"I'm searching for an autonomous theatre that responds to, rather than reflects, contemporary existence. A theatre based in a practice dedicated to formal experimentation and collaborative, devised creation. 

 

I'm pursuing a theatre of affective interruption, cultivating an encounter between audience and performer that challenges the traditional ways through which we perceive meaning. My hope  is to foster a more active, empathetically engaged spectatorship, encouraging the audience to experience the work as an aesthetic 'caesura' in their lives, an existential pause in which to reflect on the world."

​In addition to creation work, Adam is a dedicated teacher. He's been a sessional instructor at the Soulpepper Academy, taught at Toronto Metropolitan University, the University of Toronto, Humber College and Brock University. 

He has given independent workshops in Scotland, France, India and China as well as all over Canada, using his own unique interpretation of the Lecoq pedagogy. Adam's goal as instructor is to help students develop a spontaneous mind and body connection through a coupling of formal technique and improvisation. 

 

He is a graduate of École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq, Ryerson Theatre School and has studied Corporeal Mime with the Decroux company Intrepido in Paris.

He independently studied Commedia Dell’Arte with Marcello Magni of Théâtre de Complicité, as well as mask-making with the Sartori Family at the Centro Maschere e strutture gestuali (Centre for Masks and Gestural Structures, in Abano Terme, IT.
