My name is Susanna Fournier. I'm a writer, actor, and the artistic producer of PARADIGM productions. I'm a member of the teaching faculty at Armstrong Acting Studios in Toronto. I work in various performance mediums, primarily constructing new texts for theatre. My work interrogates socio-economic-gender power relations and their perversions. I'm keenly interested in what story-telling can and can't do, why and why not--and says who. I'm a feminist with a dark sense of humour and I will happily argue imperial economics with anyone willing to go toe to toe. When I'm not telling stories, I'm collecting them through my love of travel, food, music, and booze. I split my time between Toronto and Berlin, but think of all kinds of places as home.
I make art because I desire.
