YIN YANG THEATRE
Founded in 2018 by Megan Zong and Mackenzie Dawson, Yin Yang Theatre specializes in physical storytelling with an emphasis on using different mediums to explore and create new work. We experiment with the unfamiliar and the challenging. In the pursuit of excellence and innovation, we embrace risk. We believe in the importance of diverse representation and supporting the voices and stories of vulnerable and marginalized groups.
Playwriting
Recently, Megan made her playwriting, producing, and assistant directing debut with Unmasked, a semi-autobiographical story about her personal experience with psychosis. This production offered a unique portrayal of mental illness through combinations of physical abstraction, glow paint, and live music to create an aesthetic not previously seen in Saskatchewan theatre.
