"Confronting your own bias, it's actually being conscience of your hiring practices" - Louisa Phung


Louisa Phung, Director and Writer, discusses systemic racism and sexism in the Film and Theatre industry in Canada. She explains how taking on more creative roles exposed her to systemic racism and sexism that she had not experienced in more service-oriented roles within that industry.

Multi-award-winning Vancouver-based Ruby Slippers Theatre imagines an inclusive world where diversity is celebrated through a deeper understanding of each other. To bring this vision to reality, RST illuminates under-represented perspectives by giving voice to diverse artists from across the country including Quebec works in English translation. RST defines diversity as gender equity, cultural background, sexual orientation, identity, physical/mental ability, and age.
