Assistant Director

 

Derek Birkbeck (He/Him) is a director and actor. He is currently in the 3rd year of the Acting Program at Dalhousie's Fountain School of Performing Arts and is absolutely ecstatic to have the opportunity to assist Ann-Marie with Concord Floral. Derek is also excited to get the chance to work on one of playwright Jordan Tannahill's plays for the second time, having previously directed Tannahill's Botticelli in the Fire in 2019 (DTS). Other past directing credits include Doctor Faustus (DTS) and Chicago (DTS). Derek is grateful to work with such an amazing cast and creative team.

This show has been created in Mi'kma'ki, Anishinabek, and the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut'ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations and the Métis Nation (Region 3) Likewise, the platforms we use are based in Indigenous lands and benefit from the riches of these lands. The Zoom's headquarters are located on the land of the Ohlone, and the Vimeo's headquarters are located on the land of the Munsee Lenape.
