PERFORMING ARTS AGENCY
Hello !
My name is Dani, and Interplay is a performing arts agency that was started with the help and support of some great creative minds in order to connect Montreal theatre artists and companies to performance opportunities outside of our local markets. In 2021, three local theatre companies were looking to recruit someone who would develop an agency in order to promote and share the excellent and unique creative work we do here. I am so pleased to step into the role of artist representative and help connect our community to new places, new audiences and new contexts.
I love connecting with people who are passionate about the arts.
My professional bio is below.
