Persona TV

November 14 – 18, 2026 | Instagram Live

Join SCA Theatre & Performance students living in their new art personas for 24hrs. Audiences can tune-in for the following 10min episodes on their persona accounts:

From drag queens to politicians, social media influencers to nightlife icons—persona making is arguably one of the most contemporary forms of performance practice. Throughout this course, students develop a unique persona for the stage and beyond. We examine a broad history of personas and alter egos in performance, including Dynasty Handbag (Jibz Cameron), La Chica Boom (Xandra Ibarra), Reverend Billy (Bill Talen), Roberta Breitmore (Lynn Hershman Leeson), Mythic Being (Adrian Piper); and study Canadian icons, such as Mr. Peanut (Vincent Trasov), Dr. Brute (Erik Metcalfe), Anna Banana (Anne Lee Long), and Marcel Dot (Michael Morris).

In studio each week, we test and build out voice, gestural vocabulary, costume, context, and props.
