Anne-Marie Donovan is the founding artistic director of InterArts Matrix, former artistic director of NUMUS Concerts and a founding member of the Blue Rider Ensemble.
She has directed a wide range of performance events from the performance installation Soniferous Garden by Richard Wyndeyer, to the opera The Salome Dancer by Tim Brady and John Sobol, to more standard fare like The Importance of Being Earnest and the cult musical The Rocky Horror Show at the University of Waterloo. In 2007, she created a series of ‘creative disturbances’ entitled Sounding Rituals for the Open Ears Festival.
As a performer, Anne-Marie has acted as a vehicle for many composers, having premiered, recorded or commissioned over 50 works. This spring, she performed in the premiere of Reaching for Nothing: Water’s Thirst by composer Peter Hatch and architect Dereck Revington at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Currently, she is involved in the collaborative development of Frankenstein’s Ghosts, a multidisciplinary work using responsive space technologies, with the Blue Rider Ensemble in Montreal and The Last 15 Seconds with MT Space, a multicultural physical theatre company in Kitchener.
Anne-Marie lectures in the Faculty of Music at Wilfrid Laurier University and the Drama Department at the University of Waterloo, where she was a recipient of the 2003 Distinguished Teacher of the Year Award.
