Moira Sauer
A graduate of McGill University in Montreal, Moira followed her years of academia with two seasons as a member of Repercussion Theatre, touring Shakespeare through Eastern Canada and the USA, and one season with The Montreal Young Company, working with directors Bill Glassco and Chris Abraham. She has been a member of Superior Concept Monsters, the official puppeteers of the New York City Halloween Parade since 2001. She has since spent one season with them in Morinesio, Italy, preparing for the village's summer solstice celebration. Each Autumn, she returns to the Hudson River Valley to construct and perform with these processional puppets. Moira took the Canadian National Voice Intensive in 2004. She has studied with David Smuckler, Gary Logan, Ian Raffel, Neil Freeman, Steven Lecky, Barry Karp, Judith Koltai, and Gerry Trentham among others. She has also worked extensively in puppetry with Eric Bass and Ines Zeller of Sandglass Theatre, having completed Summer Puppet Intensives I and II, and worked with the company on the Puppets in the Green Mountains Festival 2008. Moira wrote the award-winning script Dirty Life: A Small Exploration With Puppets which she and Celia McBride performed as a Sour Brides Production in Nakai Theatre’s Homegrown Festival 2006. She was also commissioned to write the first-ever All-Yukon Musical for Leaping Feats Dance Company, working alongside musician Kim Barlow and choreographers Lisa Stevens and Andrea Simpson-Fowler. Sisters Aurora had its debut on the Yukon Arts Centre Stage summer of 2006. Now a full-time Yukon resident, Moira can be heard at random intervals as Sweet Moira Sauer, radio DJ for CKRW The Rush 96. 1FM. Links I encourage you to check-out!
