In 2020, the Musical Stage Company (www.musicalstagecompany.com) turned their One Song Glory Training program into an online experience. Over 5 weeks, 100 youth from across Canada were immersed in musical storytelling; strengthening their craft, building transferable life skills, and bonding them as a community of peers. Participants worked alongside leading Canadian composers & lyricists to create 12 original songs based on their shared experiences and values.

​

I was invited to act as a director for one of Musical Stage Company's One Song Glory cohorts, where I was tasked to concieve and direct an original music video based on a song created by the students. I also led workshops on producing and assisted in new play creation exercises.
