Barry Bilinsky

Barry Bilinsky (He/Him) is a Theatre and Film Creator originally from Amiskwâciywâskahikan, Alberta. Of Metis, Cree, and Ukrainian Heritage, Barry’s work explores the intersections of culture quite common on the Prairies – a confluence of perspectives sometimes complimentary but often contradictory and misunderstood. Since graduating from the University of Alberta in 2012, Barry has been involved in several productions that have shaped their craft – from Pochinko Style clowning with Fool Spectrum Theatre and Greenfools, to intercultural exchanges with Making Treaty 7 Cultural Society and Ancestors and Elders with Shumka Ukrainian Dancers. Most recently, Barry was the Creative Director of Content and Media of the Internationally acclaimed “Indigenous Peoples’ Experience” attraction at Fort Edmonton Park in Edmonton and is also Artistic Director of Tantoo Cardinal’s Taproot Actors’ Academy in Kikino Alberta.
