Artist Advisor

Lisa Cooke Ravensbergen (she/her/ikwe) is a tawny blend of Ojibwe/Swampy Cree and English/Irish. She is a multi-hyphenate theatre artist and scholar based in unceded Coast Salish territory (colonially known as Vancouver). Her joyful practice is strengthened by her mother-heart as it encompasses a love of performance, new work, big thoughts, traditional culture, and activism. Lisa is an Associate Artist with Full Circle: First Nations Performance and currently serves as the Advisor for Indigenous Futures at the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival. She raises her hands in thanks to her hosts to her Coast Salish relatives on whose land her artistic practice was born.
