Taught by Heather Cornick
Workshops built around play, presence, and discovery
Heather Cornick is a theatre artist, educator, puppeteer, designer, and the performer behind Gee-Oh. She has taught at the University of Alberta, MacEwan University, and Red Deer College, and has led workshops for the Edmonton International Fringe, Alberta High School Drama Festival Association, Edmonton Public School Board, Theatre Alberta, and public libraries.
Schools and libraries
Heather has been Bookings Coordinator at Concrete Theatre since 2019, a theatre-for-young-audiences company touring issue-based work into schools. She knows the booking process from the other side of it: how division purchasing works, what a PD day needs, the difference between a single session and a residency, and how to get an invoice through.
Talk to her in those terms — tell her what you are planning.
