Research Coordinator,
Balancing Act

Morgan Brie Johnson is a Dora award-winning theatre artist. She is currently Co-Artistic Director of Common Boots Theatre and for the past decade has co-run Animacy Theatre Collective, a physical theatre collective dedicated to strange, ecological, and feminist storytelling. Her artistic work sits at the intersection of several disciplines of creation and performance, primarily: clown/mask/bouffon, playwriting, and dramaturgy and her practice is driven by questions of boundary blurring and belonging, particularly around land, gender, and home. She has also published creative fiction in several literary magazines and holds a PhD in Environmental Studies from York University. Recent works as a creator and performer include the immersive outdoor winter show A Raccoon Solstice (upcoming with Theatre Direct and Common Boots Theatre); the dark satire JUICE BREAK (What the Festival 2025, directed by Karen Hines); and the performance installation Slow as Snails (ROM After Dark Series 2025). Animacy’s Dora award-winning TYA show Finding Home continues to tour across the province with Theatre Direct.
