Jessica McGlynn (she/they) is a Queer, Métis theatre artist that creates theatre as both an actor and director for traditionally underrepresented communities, such as the LGBTQ+ and indigenous community. She uses empathy based and decolonial practices to create a working environment that allows performers to create dangerous work that is fulfilling and fun for them. She also puts forth work that ensures that audiences can have an opportunity to see themselves in it. Audience members and performers feel they have been seen through the work she puts forth and that their experiences are valid.
