Emma Tibaldo

In 2008 Emma was named Artistic and Executive director of the national new creation centre Playwrights’ Workshop Montreal (PWM), where she has dramaturgically collaborated on numerous award-winning plays, including Jabber by Marcus Youseff, Squawk by Megan Coles, Instant by Erin Shields, and Behaviour by Darrah Teitel. So far in 2021, she co-created Skin, a new performance piece with the interdisciplinary company The Bakery, directed a digital staged reading of Behaviour by Darrah Teitel, and co-directed the audio play The Ringtone by Audrey Dwyer in April. Just last year, Emma was the recipient of the Elliott Hayes Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dramaturgy.

She feeds her inner (and outer) punk rocker by playing in the family band The Tibaldos.
