Erin Pettifor is an emerging queer theatre artist based in Amiskwaciwâskahikan/Edmonton. In the 2023 Edmonton Fringe she premiered her show Stigma, Pistil and Style, directed by Jacqueline Russell with Wee Witches. Erin performed in Larrikin Entertainment's new musical, WYRD, a thrilling musical with themes on patriarchy and the cycle of abuse. She has co-created and performed multiple physical theatre pieces for various festivals and cabarets. Erin has several performance credits from the Edmonton Fringe Festival, independent local productions, workshop readings, and theatre for young audiences. Clown, embodiment, meditation, emotionally integrated voice (taught by Fides Krucker), and her work with her mentor Jacqueline Russell have greatly informed her practise. Erin has a BFA in Acting from the University of Alberta, a diploma in Theatre Performance and Creation from Red Deer College, and has taken several wonder-ful classes with John Turner. She celebrates art in its many forms for its ability to honor the human experience.
