Matthew Romantini

Acting Foundations; VTM 4; Scene Study 5

As a creator and artist, I work in dance, theatre, and with orchestral ensembles across the continent. I have been nominated for and won several awards endowments and grants, and more importantly, I have been fortunate to collaborate with notable artists and audiences across the globe, from Toronto, Vancouver, New York, LA, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Edinburgh Sydney, and Tokyo, and continue to bring together the influences of my wellness and artistic practices to positively affect both. I am the Artistic Director of Omnivore Performance, a company mandated to produce, commission and create high calibre works across multiple artistic disciplines in order to inspire, surprise and transform our audiences. I have taught for Canadian Stage, MurmurSpace (Cincinnati), The Classical Theatre Project, and have consulted for individual artists and companies throughout Canada and the United States. I operate a parallel wellness practice, Sadhana Embodiment, which uses many of the techniques I employ as an artist and teacher to help people increase their internal self-awareness and self-care.
