hi from Tkaronto! I'm an artist & arts manager originally from the Ottawa-Gatineau region and a mish-mash of random skills & facts that are sometimes useful when I perform, create, devise, mess around with lights, installations, costume design, directing, and managing projects & exhibits.
SO WHY AM I HERE?
My role in Dissruptiv Theatre & with the show stems from my friendship and love for chadia. As a white settler and decendant of colonizers, I'm still figuring my shit out and conscious of my involvement in this company. I support chadia's projects financially and through admin work, and other ways as needed throughout the process.
I'm a York University's Theatre & Performance Studies M.A. grad, which complements my B.A. (Hons) in Drama and double major in Arts Administration from Bishop's University.
I'm recovering from chronic migraine - I like alpacas, ice cream, canoeing, and helping people make art that's full of care <3

Jasmine Case (she/her) Choreographer / Fight Coordinator
Jasmine Case is a Caribbean-Canadian creator and actor who was born and raised in Toronto Ontario. She loves theatre and has been immersed in it since she was a little girl. She is always the first to volunteer and has just loved performing since she can remember. Jasmine’s first theatre memory was seeing The Lion King as a little girl. It was while watching this show lead by Black actors that Jasmine knew she would love to pursue theatre with a fierce passion. From that point on, Jasmine's dream has been to connect with people through her acting, in the same way The Lion King connected with her.
Jasmine is a recent graduate from The National Theatre School of Canada and Brock University and the Dramatic Arts Program with a concentration in performance. Where she worked Jessica B. Hill, Jackie Maxwell, Jessica Carmichael, Marcel Stewart and Karen Lisa Cox, among many others. While attending Brock, Jasmine had the opportunity to participate in a course at the Shaw Festival, where she worked with Barbara Worthy and chatted with a number of artists including the Associate Artistic Director Kimberely Rampersad and Artistic Director Tim Caroll.
She is intrigued by roles that challenge her, as well as roles in which she can grow as an artist and as a human. She is excited by the world of theatre, specifically collaborative rooms where all voices are heard and all opinions are respected and valued :)
"FUCK YOU TIM!"
