Glorious Frazzled Beings

KATE DION-RICHARD currently lives, works and creates on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations with her husband Brett and their many plants. Trained in acting from the University of Victoria and London's Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Kate has worked across the country in several theatre, film, tv and voice productions over the years. Humbled and honoured to voice this incredible piece of writing, she deeply thanks Angelique and Sonya for entrusting her with such meaningful stories.
