We are excited to introduce Shanique Peart (on the left) as our Communications Specialist and Skylar Flann (on the right) as our Arts and Programs Administrator for the next nine weeks!
Shanique Peart (she/her) is a first-generation, Afro-Canadian, multidisciplinary artist, educator, and arts administrator based in Kingston, Ontario. With a background in dance, photography, performance, and storytelling, her work explores the intersections of movement, identity, and environment. Shanique’s exploratory essence led her to become a self-taught dancer. Since then, she has explored and become versed in Hip-Hop, Freestyle, Dancehall, Afro Fusion, Modern, and Urban Contemporary styles. Rooted in collaboration and inspired by community, Shanique blends artistic disciplines to craft stories that reflect shared experiences and collective memory. Through vibrant compositions, she seeks to foster connection and evoke emotion. Beyond performance, she is actively involved in creative projects across theatre, education, film and arts administration, continuing to build spaces where art, culture, and community meet.
Skylar Flann (she/her) is an emerging arts and program administrator currently pursuing a BA in Drama and Sociology at Queen's University. As a multidisciplinary theatre artist, she has contributed to a wide range of experimental and unconventional projects, with experience in technical direction, stage management, and lighting design. Beyond theatre, Skylar is actively involved in Kingston’s music scene, where she produces live music events and performs with her student band. She is excited to bring her experience in community programming to the Tett Centre this summer, where she has spent time as both a performer and participant in its programming. Skylar is passionate about fostering opportunities for artistic expression, collaboration, and connection within the local arts community.
We're so excited that Shanique and Skylar will be joining our team to assist with marketing and communications, programming and outreach events for the next nine weeks. If you see either of them around the building, be sure to wish them a warm welcome!
These positions were both made possible by funding from the Government of Canada through the Canada Summer Jobs Program.
