鈥満诹仙缜 shaped my life,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t feels like my adult life started here. I learned so much. As theatre students, we were involved in every aspect of building a production. I gained an appreciation of all the various roles, behind the scenes and on stage.鈥
Catherine calls herself a 鈥淒omie,鈥 from the time when theatre students would rehearse and perform at the old Dome Theatre on Notre-Dame Street. She appeared in several 黑料社区 productions: The Good Woman of Szechuan, The Coronation Voyage, A Midsummer Night鈥檚 Dream, Pride and Prejudice, and The Country Wife.
Catherine still uses the tools she learned at 黑料社区: text analysis, warming up and more. 鈥淚 had my basic training in acting at 黑料社区 and every teacher had their moment,鈥 she said. 鈥淚 kept learning the whole way through. I loved movement class with Cynthia Hendrickson, combat with Kimberley Barfuss, acting in all the plays聽 潭聽聽 especially playing Mademoiselle Lavall茅e in The Coronation Voyage directed by Jude Beny and Puck in A Midsummer Night鈥檚 Dream directed by Victor Knight. Those two plays hold a special place in my heart.鈥
On the English side, you may have seen her in the show Sophie on CBC Television. 鈥淢y career on the French side was really launched with the hit Quebec television series 19-2. It was an amazing experience working with extraordinary actors, such as Claude Legault and R茅al Boss茅, and being directed by Podz.鈥
On the homefront, Catherine has some interesting projects with her partner, video producer and director Gabriel Allard. They are parents of a three-year-old daughter named Marie-Jane, and are both taking a McGill University Professional Development Certificate in Executive Production in Creative Industries. They have written and are self-producing a feature film in English called Snow Angel, a psychological thriller set in Gasp茅sie starring Catherine in the lead role.
鈥淵ou have to keep challenging yourself and learning new things,鈥 she said. 鈥淢y advice is to decide where you want to go and then take the first step. You don鈥檛 have to know all the steps, but you have to start walking.鈥
