Lisa Channer moves between theatre, film and performance as a director, producer and performer.
Although she happily directs classic scripts, she primarily celebrates the making of new work in all forms through collaborations with exceptional writers, designers, choreographers, composers, actors, and producers. She is a co-artistic director of Theatre Novi Most in Minneapolis and a freelance artist. Her work has been seen across the U.S., Ireland, Europe, and Russia and she is a Fulbright Scholar.
Since 2007 she has been based in Minneapolis where she raised two humans, Sasha and Daniel, and is on the faculty at the University of Minnesota as Head of the BA in Performance Creation program. She is originally from New York’s Hudson Valley and holds citizenship in the U.S. and the U.K.
