Jo Dixon

Co-Artistic Director

Jo is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is distinguished by a collaborative aesthetic that values the input of co-creators. Rooted in the belief that the stories we tell ourselves and each other profoundly shape our connections, her work seeks to grow and strengthen those connections through significant experiences.

Jo’s work includes theatre and performance art, puppetry, dance, installation, storytelling, visual art, and sculpture. Jo has skills including arts organization leadership, event and volunteer coordination, stage and production management, directing and dramaturgy, technical skills, and arts administration.

Jo has been a teacher and facilitator in a number of different contexts — she loves to work with all ages and abilities.

Jo Dixon resides in Winnipeg/ Treaty 1 territory. She lives with her husband Paul, their four fabulous offspring, three cats, and one dog. Life is always a fun, full, creative, chaotic adventure and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sarah Higgins

Co-Artistic Director

Sarah is a theatre artist and writer based on Treaty 1 territory (Winnipeg, MB). Driven by a fierce belief in the power of stories and the necessity of community, Sarah’s work often uses speculative elements, humour, and tactility to explore family, identity, grief, hope, and climate change. She’s also a stage manager, percussive dancer, and clown. 

Sarah has a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia. She’s part of SCALE — Sectoral Climate Arts Leadership for the Emergency, a network of artists and organizations committed to addressing the climate crisis and environmental justice — and has been a part of the Climate Change Theatre Action project (commissioned playwright in 2023, producer/performer in 2025). She sees the art-shaped hole in the climate fight, and to it she says, “BRING OUT YOUR HOPE.”

Originally from Ontario, Sarah has lived, worked, stage-managed, studied, and made art across Canada, in each province and territory except Nunavut (so far). She’s quite excited to build stories in and with a community that spans this wide and wild land.
