ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:

Kodie Rollan is a Philippine-born, Scarborough-raised, Moh'kins'tsis (Calgary)-based, playwright, dramaturg, lyricist, and producer. He is passionate about creating care-forward environments where artists and collaborators can dream their dreamiest dreams, show up in the fullness of themselves and thrive in their artistry. The majority of the work that he creates centers themes of justice in all its intersectional forms. As a playwright and dramaturg, he has worked with many organizations across Turtle Island including but not limited to: the Banff Playwrights Lab, Lunchbox Theatre, fuGen Theatre, the Musical Stage Company, and many others. He is currently the Artistic Director of Chromatic Theatre and spends most of his time (outside of the arts) talking and thinking about the Toronto Raptors.
