	SUE PROCTOR (Primary/Junior Drama, Clowning) has performed interactive story theatre performances for many years that use narration, mime, and costumes with audience participation. She has also performed at many festivals as mime clown Pierrot, goofy Marmalade or granny Agnes. Recently, Sue has founded a seniors theatre company, the Drama Divas who create shows to support immigrants in learning English with humour. She is also currently involved in developing and managing the Linking Generations through the Arts project with Creative Retirement Manitoba, which involves archiving oral history, creating art, puppets and drama with students and seniors, and presenting community performances. She won a competition for the Puss in Cahoots* musical comedy that she directed this year at Manitoba Theatre for Young People (MTYP). She presently teaches at MTYP, YW/YMCA, with Manitoba Artists in the Schools, and clowns at St. Boniface Hospital.
	BRIAN RICHARDSON (Intermediate/Senior Drama, Storytelling) has been a fixture in Manitoba's theatre world for over thirty years, not only as part of the Winnipeg scene as an actor, playwright, and poet, but around the province as a performer and as an Artist In The Schools. Two collections of his poetry have been published and his poems have been broadcast on CBC radio. Like many from his native Ireland, Brian loves stories and enjoys telling them. In his capacity as host on the Winnipeg Folk Festival stage he once had to fill time for a harpist tuning up by telling an old Irish folk tale about a harp to eleven thousand people, the most he's ever told a tale to. For twelve years Brian played in Manitoba's Blarney Band. A proud achievement was the play he worked on with the students of Foxwarren school for the closing of their school.

Tusia has conducted Artists in the Schools workshops in Binscarth with Judy Cook, and she is delighted to be back here at Vagabond Theatre Camp. Tusia and Judy have worked together in many Manitoba communities including Neepawa, where they were co-instructors at The Holiday Festival of the Arts. Tusia also teaches piano and music theory.
