Artistic Mandate
I am the artist
who embraces change I am the performer who creates and collaborates I am the innovator who takes from the past but reaches for the future I am the storyteller who seeks inspiration in the ordinary and absurd I am the student who never stops learning |
I am the woman
who demands a greater representation of my gender I am the feminist who fights the patriarchy I am the leader who teaches through action I am the human who recognizes error I am the Canadian who reinforces our culture |
