We would like to officially welcome Kristina Lemieux (she/her) as our new Agents and Managers Program Coordinator. She will work alongside this program’s Steering Committee, to carry out the development of a program for performing arts agents and managers. The project aims to allow participants with different levels of experience in the sector to share knowledge, to support the emergence of new, diverse voices, and to identify solutions to sector barriers and challenges to make the sector more sustainable.
Kristina is a contemporary dancer and accomplished arts manager with more than 20 years of professional experience across Canada. In all that she does, Kristina works to support independent artists across performing disciplines in finding ways to make art outside of the currently prescribed modes.
Raised in Treaty 6 territory (rural Alberta), Kristina graduated from the University of Alberta and has lived, worked, and played across Canada from Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, and most recently, Saint John. Her passion for the arts has driven her involvement in collaboration, creation, and innovation in the national arts scene for over a decade. In 2016, Kristina made a move to Toronto to take on the role of Lead Producer of Generator. In her five years in this leadership role, Kristina coached over 100 artist-producers to strengthen their producing and financial acumen.
She is now based out of Saint John, New Brunswick, on the unceded traditional territory of Wolastogiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati.
