About
Arts are a major instrument of social change, essential in building strong communities based on respect, connection and collaboration.
Through multimedia and arts productions, as well as facilitating access to artistic practices, Echoing Frog Projects encourages the development of imagination to support transformative outcomes.
Echoing Frog Projects is flexible to move with the flow of my and our imagination.
The frog is my spirit animal, a symbol of transformation. Being in and out of the water, it releases old energies and absorbs new ones. It's a catalyst for change.
Our actions have a ripple effect, they echo into the world, they have meaning and they have an impact. However big or small, the universe cares.
About me
How to introduce myself… What defines us really, I'm not sure. So maybe I'll just throw some things into the air, in no specific or meaningful order.
French. And Canadian. But not French Canadian.
Creative. And down to earth. And also a spreadsheets junkie (yes, I know, go figure).
Passionate dancer. For more on my relationship to dance.
Avid reader, though not as much as I used to or would like to.
Writer.
Voice actor.
Found a new interest and love for sound creation and podcasts.
Working in broadcast media, on the tech side. For now.
Already had many lives professionally speaking. Will probably have many more. All in cultural/artistic fields though.
Bilingual in French and English.
Learning Mandarin Chinese. Passionate about Chinese language, culture and history. Learning Chinese calligraphy, painting and poetry.
Also learning some Korean.
Love drawing, very bad at it.
Yoga practitioner.
Walk everywhere.
Nature lover. But not an outdoor person (I know it's odd).
Advocate for degrowth and sobriety, permaculture, social justice, anti-capitalism, and a bit, or very (depending on who you ask), annoying about it.
If you want a more professional introduction, it's here.
For a long time, I was feeling bad for not settling into one specialty or job. I thought my constant need for change was a sign of a fear of commitment or even a sign of frivolity. That was until I discovered Emily Wapnick. Emily has written and talked extensively about what she calls the multipotentialites. Listening to her and reading on this made me realize that I had many callings that could evolve and change over time.

You can also follow me on different social media platforms.
\\ Mastodon //
I would call it my social HQ in the Fediverse. I share everything from my different creative channels on here as well as some short writing pieces that live only on Mastodon. So if you're interested in everything I do, then I suggest you follow me there.
\\ Writing blog //
Where I share my writing: mostly poetry, but also short stories, articles... Mostly in English but some in French as well.
\\ Visual Arts blog //
Where I share my visual art: abstract drawings, mandalas, Chinese calligraphy...
\\ PeerTube //
Where I share my dance videos, my voice acting videos and also some sound creation experiments. You can follow the whole account or each channel individually based on your interest(s).
\\ Instagram //
And because I'm aware the Fediverse is still quite confidential, I'm still on Instagram for now. I mostly share links to content posted elsewhere via Stories, except maybe for short dance videos once in a while. That's also mainly where I promote the dance classes I organize.
