Pier Rodier

Born in Ottawa, Pier Rodier co-founded Vox Théâtre in 1979 and became its artistic director in 1987. Throughout his career as a multi-talented theatre artist, he has cultivated a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary practice. He devotes much of his energy to the creation, production and presentation of plays for young audiences in Ottawa and elsewhere in Canada. He works diligently in the field of arts education.  He has initiated many innovative social projects such as the Série Enfance Jeunesse (2002) and the Tout petit festival (April 2021) at La Nouvelle Scène Gilles Desjardins. In 2020, he received the Victor Tolgesy Award for the Arts, presented jointly by the Ottawa Arts Council and the City of Ottawa, and, in September 2021, the MARCUS - BMO Prize from the Fondation pour l'avancement du théâtre francophone au Canada.
