Kris Alvarez is a Treaty 4 Filipina theatre artist who loves making art while making relationships. Kris enjoys a well-made metaphor, a big laugh, and a good cry. Like an 80’s mom in a flowered kerchief taming unbrushed hair, heading to a beach in a two-toned station wagon, blaring her favourite mixtape, Kris invites friends along the way to join her. “Jump in the back! Not sure when we’ll get there. There’s no seatbelts but there’s really good snacks.” Besides making art and gathering people, as a daughter-sister-Tita-mom-wife, Kris makes space for being herself with her family, daydreaming and rest. Kris is lucky to work in this province: as the creator of Burnt Sienna, Burnt Sienna Blvd, a Curtain Razors Artistic Associate, Sum Theatre 2024 TITP playwright, a Fadadance-er forever, and to have performed in Joey Tremblay’s work Bad Blood, Carmen Angel
