Que signifie \u00eatre finaliste pour moi ?<\/strong>
Je suis profond\u00e9ment honor\u00e9e de me trouver parmi la communaut\u00e9 d\u2019artistes pionni\u00e8res du Prix Gina. Je suis remplie d'admiration et d'une inspiration sans bornes.<\/p>

Je partage cet honneur avec les artistes et les collaborateurs qui laboure dans les m\u00eames terres que moi dans le Trait\u00e9 n\u00b0 4. Un rappel que de rester ancr\u00e9e ne signifie pas rester petit, que notre travail n\u2019est ni p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique ni isol\u00e9, mais qu\u2019il fait partie d\u2019un dialogue vivant sur ce que peut \u00eatre une vie dans les arts.<\/p>

Je n\u2019ai jamais rencontr\u00e9 Gina, mais comme Jennifer Brewin, la personne qui a propos\u00e9 ma candidature, a partag\u00e9 \u00abGina comprenait que la nourriture, les enfants, et la pl\u00e9nitude de la vie ne sont pas des distractions \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation artistique mais au contraire en sont essentiel. \u00bb C\u2019est cette \u00e9tique que je m\u2019efforce de perp\u00e9tuer : cr\u00e9er des espaces o\u00f9 les gens se sentent nourris et accueillis, libres d\u2019\u00eatre eux-m\u00eames dans leur int\u00e9gralit\u00e9\u2026 avec leurs imperfections, leurs espi\u00e8gleries et cette part sauvage et essentielle qui fait de nous des \u00eatres pleinement humains.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Le talent artistique interdisciplinaire de Gina en tant que danseuse, artiste visuelle, com\u00e9dienne, dramaturge et metteuse en sc\u00e8ne l'a impos\u00e9e comme une dirigeante et une collaboratrice audacieuse, forte et inventive du th\u00e9\u00e2tre canadien. Elle croyait en la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de s'amuser dans la salle de r\u00e9p\u00e9tition, sur sc\u00e8ne et en coulisses, et dans tous les aspects de la vie.
