Hakim Therrien Boulos

Hakim (they/them) is an artist: theatre deviser, director, musician, kitchen witch, puppeteer, and designer, they have roots in the Nile Delta and northern France via Abenaki, Anishinaabe, Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, and Squamish territory. Slow and playful, their practice is process-oriented and uses laughter and pleasure as entry points into difficult topics.

Hakim has many years of experience leading kids and youth through the basics of collective theatrical creation: they have led workshops in schools, facilitated summer camps, and directed community theatre shows. They know that kids and youth are innately creative and playful beings and believe the job of helping them access that potential to be a great privilege and joy. 

As a trans, non-binary, and racialized artist, Hakim brings their lived experience into the classroom and strives to make the playing space as safe and comfortable as possible for the diversity of students they work with. They know that creativity and curiosity flourish best from a place of comfort and they do their best to extend that as far as they can.
