Katie German - Maintaining a Work/Life Balance
A work/life balance, how do we sustain such a thing in this fast paced industry? Katie German is here to remind us that it's always in flux and as individual as we are. This season, T+T Productions has collaborated with the Canadian Guild of Stage Directors and Choreographers (CGDC) to bring you a series of episodes centred around assistants and associates directors and choreographers. This series is for EVERYONE and shares all the behind the scenes magic of theatre creation from the industry’s very best. Today, Katie shares practices on how we can manage and maintain a work/life balance, how to cultivate a more inclusive work space for parents and caregivers, and reminds us to ask for what you need, and if they say no, ask why.
Katie is a Métis director, performer, educator and mother based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Katie is currently the owner and director of Junior Musical Theatre Company (JMTC), and the Assistant Program Director of Pimootayowin Creators Circle with Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre. Coming up Katie will be directing This Is How We Got Here at Persephone Theatre. Other recent directing and performance credits include: A Pickle (Dir - WJT), Frozen River (Dir - Manitoba Theatre for Young People), Rez Sisters, Into The Woods (Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre), Hockey Sweater, Breaking Up Is Hard to Do (Rainbow Stage), Embodying Power and Place (Dir - New Harlem Productions, Nightwood Theatre & Native Earth Performing Arts), Winn nipi (Dir - Prairie Theatre Exchange), CAN Premier of Tuck Everlasting (JMTC), and Elizabeth Rex (Bunbury Productions)
