Four years after first joining the Generator team, I am moving on to a new role as Producer at Soulpepper Theatre at the end of this month. Generator and the people in and around it are such a big part of the person and the producer I am today, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to reflect on my time and my transition out of the organization in this blog post. I am also quite frankly humbled by the generous parting words long-time Generator leader Kristina Lemieux shared for the post:
“Annie has been Generator’s kiln. We have all brought her our incomplete drafts, our rough ideas, and our unpolished visions. She has a unique capacity to take it in and break apart what’s not ready and to clarify and solidify what is. Annie has been vital to what we have been able to accomplish and who we have been able to reach… Her sense of care and deep listening have brought our ideas further and our connections wider.”
