Sharon A Feder: An Honor

I want to let you all know that I even though I have had to stop my work as Program Director of the English Online Training Program, I continue to collaborate and consult for them, with deep appreciation and friendship. I am ever so moved that they have asked me to be Honorary Member.

« A Note. Our friend Sharon Feder, who organized the English online program will no longer be with us. We wish her the best with her life in Vancouver, and with her own professional projects - and we thank her greatly for the quality and success of the online program she set up for us. She will visit us, maybe join in from time to time, and share with us her performance work. She is now a Pantheatre Honorary Member. » - Enrique Pardo and Linda Wise

BIOGRAPHY

A performer, director and scenographer, Sharon Feder creates cross-disciplinary theatre, performance and installation. Her devised work explores the site of convergence of different artistic forms, new and old sound and image technologies, as well as solo and collaborative processes of artistic creation.

Whether created for a stage, a gallery or site-specific, Sharon's work puts the body on display in atmospheres of felt reflection, critical risk and inspired intensity drawing on both improvisation and structure, strategy and surprise. She has treated varied themes from the memory of the holocaust in “Testing”, to homesickness in “Nostalgia Trip Tic”, and the transformative process of creation in “Destruction Etc.”

Sharon's approach combines: 1) Foundational training and education in classical text based-theatre with the B.F.A. (Bachelor in Fine Arts) program in theatre-acting at the University of British Columbia (Canada); 2) Artistic collaborations in image-based theatre and extensive training in improvisation, object work, choreographic theatre, voice performance and extended range vocal technique with Pantheatre and The Roy Hart International Artistic Centre (France); and finally, 3) Studies in scenography in L.E.M. (Laboratoire d'Etudes du Mouvement) at the International Theatre School of Jaques Lecoq (Paris), followed by a M.A.S. (Masters in Advanced Studies) in Scenography from the Zurich University of the Arts (Switzerland).
