Chapter Director: Samantha Abbott (Inuksuk High School)
Originally from Newfoundland, Samantha received a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Theatre/Acting) Degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2004. Her love for theatre and education saw her go on to complete both a Bachelor and Masters of Education shortly thereafter. Since then, Samantha has been teaching Drama in various schools in Newfoundland, just outside London, England and eventually in Nunavut. Currently she teaches Grade 9-12 Drama to Students at Inuksuk High School in Iqaluit, Nunavut.
Driven by a love of performance art, her classes are active and focus on the belief that theatre is a necessary part of educating the whole person. Her classes strive to offer a wide breadth and depth of theatrical techniques and processes that centre around movement and mindfulness to unlock student confidence. She loves the richness of culture provided by her students and is grateful to learn as much from their robust experiences as they do from classes.
