After studies in Visual Arts, I decided to become a puppeteer, a career I enjoyed for more than twenty years. From the Vagabond show performed on a trailer for the Ville de Montréal to Éducanima (music and puppetry) and the Théâtre Sans Fil with shows like Le Hobbit, Le Corbeau blanc, Jolis Deuils, Le Seigneur des Anneaux, Rabelais, and La Couronne du Destin. I was lucky enough to be involved with all the “strings” in this wonderful craft, from design and direction to operating the puppets themselves. In 1996 I set up my own puppet theatre company, La Nuit des Temps. For the past several years, I have been self-employed as an accountant and in doing other administrative tasks; my main clients are companies working in the arts sector.
