          Hi! Bonjour! Привет!

           

          I'm Aisling (pronounced Ash-ling). My pronouns are she/her.

           

          I'm currently based in Ottawa, ON.

           

          As of September 2021, I'll be based in Toronto, ON.

           

          Thanks for visiting my website!

           

          Feel free to contact me for:

          • Freelance dramaturgy, translation (French-English), transcription, copyediting, or document design. If it involves words, I can probably do it.
          • Existential chats on the nature of Canadian theatre criticism and Taylor Swift.
          • Resources pertaining to Sarah Kane, Canadian theatre criticism, and/or verbatim theatre.
          • Cat photos.

          Bio

           

          Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Aisling is a playwright, critic, dramaturge, and academic.

           

          In 2020, Aisling's first play, Feast, was developed with the Tarragon Theatre Young Playwrights Unit in Toronto; following the closures spurred by COVID-19, Feast was granted an #ArtApart grant by the National Theatre School of Canada.

          Feast will be featured as a short case study in the upcoming Routledge anthology, Undergraduate Research in Theatre.

           

          Aisling is also the 2020-2021 Arts & Culture Editor for The Fulcrum at the University of Ottawa and an Associate Editor for Intermission Magazine in Toronto.

           

          She'll be graduating Magna Cum Laude with her Honours BA in Theatre from the University of Ottawa this June, and (big news!) re-locating to Toronto to pursue her MA in Theatre, Drama, and Performance Studies at the University of Toronto this September.

           

          She's also a Taurus (if that wasn't abundantly clear).
