Kira Fondse - Actor
Kira is a storyteller through music and theatre from Winnipeg, Manitoba. She recently completed a Bachelor degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Manitoba, and frequently performs in musicals, operas and co ncerts. Kira desires to bring joy to people in Canada and around the world through the sharing of stories, art and culture, and she dreams of empowering young people to do the same. Kira is seeking new ways of starting conversations, asking difficult questions, and helping to speak out for those whose voices have been silenced. She cannot wait to discover and grow as an apprentice with Pacific Theatre this year.
What did you spend the last year doing?
Finishing my music degree, performing, teaching, and going for long walks when it's not 40 below.
What are you most looking forward to about being an apprentice?
Being immersed in theatre, challenging myself in new ways and learning from others.
What is your favourite theatre experience to date?
Performing The Dream Catchers with the Charlottetown Festival's Young Company last summer, and taking the show on tour via bus from PEI to Vancouver Island. The people, the places, the adventures...it was an experience like no other, and an inspiring project to be a part of.
What is your non-theatrical specialty?
Making music that's good for the soul, and food that's good for the body :)
If you received 1 million dollars that you could not spend on yourself, what would you do with it?
I think I'd split it up! Donate to local causes such as human trafficking awareness, pregnancy support centres and non-profit organizations such as the Tusarnaarniq Sivumut Association that provides musical instruments and training as positive creative outlets for Inuit youth in Nunavut.
