Susanna Fournier is based in Toronto but has lived in British Columbia, Montreal, and Berlin. She’s known in theatre for her distinct voice and interdisciplinary productions. Her work is rowdy, joyous, contentious, queer, and often called “impossible”. In 2018/19, Susanna produced her critically acclaimed trilogy, The Empire, across three Toronto venues and as a radio-drama podcast series available online. The Empire was published by Playwrights Canada Press in March 2022.
Her performance texts are wild landscapes: PYPER, HEART/BODY, Just a Trick, What Happens to You – Happens to Me, Always Still the Dawn, Still Human, take rimbaud, and antigone lives*.
Susanna is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada. She’s won the Patrick Conner Award, The Cayle Chernin Award and is a two-time nominee for the KM Hunter Award for theatre artist of the year (2016/18). She’s also been a finalist for the The Herman Voaden National Playwriting Competition and nominated for the Johanna Metcalf Performing Arts Prize.
