Chande...l studied theatre at both the University of Guelphand Stratford Festival Theatre, before completing an Artist in Community Education teaching degree at Queen’s University.This training prepared her to work with a range of organizations: from TIFF to Opera Lyra Ottawa, to teaching arts and culture in rural high schools, to coordinating emergency assistance for artists through The AFC. Over the years, she has worked on projects in Canada and overseas, either as a performer, stage manager, or assistant director. Select acting credits include: The Financiers (Odyssey Theatre), Venus in Fur (Plosive Productions), and I’ll Be Back Before Midnight(Classic Theatre Festival). Chandel has helped develop and present a range of unique projects across Ontario, including Murray Schaffer’s Asterion,Anandam’s Divergent Dances, and an HIV theatre education tour based on her research in Botswana, Africa. As a playwright (and thankful recipient of Theatre Creator Grants provided by the OAC, Theatre Direct, and Pat the Dog, which supports writers across the province), her recent scripts have focused on Canadian history, social injustice, and tumultuous journeys of self-discovery. Chandel is currently working for SPARC Supporting Performing Arts in Rural and Remote Communities as their Northern Outreach Consultant, to help create a more vibrant and supportive arts scene across Ontario’s rural and remote communities.
