Just a Few of the Contributing Creatives You’ll Find Here…
CHRISTINE BISSONNETTE
Creator and Managing Editor
actor, writer, spoken word poet
One of the questions I ask in all of the Creative Life interviews is: when did you first recognize yourself as being creative. My answer to that question is in grade 4. My first creative explorations took the form of poetry. I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to be connecting with you. READ MORE
MATT CLARK
actor, athlete
Injuries sustained gave me the break in my monastic athletic routine to self-assess and finally summon the courage to tackle the path for which I thought I was most suited: acting. Now I’m in the United Kingdom pursuing my Master’s of Fine Arts at East 15. It’s been a long road, with far more bumps than the original, but I feel this new trajectory inevitable and appropriate… LEARN MORE
SAM KAMRAS
actor and writer
Before crossing the ocean, I worked in New Brunswick, getting involved with as many theatre companies as I could. I managed to delve into Shakespeare, become part of new scripts that then toured to Vancouver and Toronto. Now, I’m pursuing my Masters in Fine Arts at East 15 Acting School in London, England. My philosophy is to love all, trust few, do wrong to none, and above all, just keep on smiling… LEARN MORE
KYLE GEST

JAYLEE HAMIDI
actor, artist, writer and teacher
I’m nothing you can imagine, and everything that is human. Since I was a kid I’ve found something magnetic in the storytelling process; to delve into another being, learn from them, and share their truth. I’m now pursuing a career in film and television. I have a foundation in theatre. A proud moment for me was… LEARN MORE
VICTOR AYALA
actor, writer, producer and teacher
I was dreadfully shy (still am, on some days). We had to give presentations in front of the class and I sped through my three minute speech in under sixty seconds. My knees were shaking, my palms were sweaty… you know the song. That was me. It was awful. I couldn’t wait to try it again. LEARN MORE
