about us

Glenys McQueen is a graduate of McGill University and the Jacques Lecoq School of Physical Theatre in Paris, France. She spent a year in New Zealand as a founding member of the group, Theatre Action, before moving to Mexico City. There, for 11 years, she taught, acted and directed in professional theatre, founded UNAM's University Theatre Centre movement program, and taught for CONASUPO's Brigadas de Teatro Campesino.
In Canada, she taught at the University of Alberta before moving to Brock University, where she teaches acting and directing. Glenys' research interests include experimental theatre practice; using music and movement as educational tools for cross-curricular integration; and developing open and creative teaching practices (Lecoq-based pedagogy for teacher-training).

Rafael studied humanities and philosophy at the Jesuit Instituto de Literatura in Guadalajara, Mexico, and the Jesuit Insituto Libre de Filosofia in Mexico City. He joined -as a composer- the theatre group "Teatro Epico," directed by the dramaturg and director, Luis de Tavira, and was twice named "The Best Theatre Composer" by the Theatre Critics Association for his works in the plays "The Good Person of Sechuan" (by Bertold Brecht), and "El General Madruga" .
His music was part of the Berlin Festival "Horizon 82", in Germany, with "El General Madruga", where the theatre company was enthusiastically welcomed by the critics. In Canada, he has devoted his time to researching ancient cultures, with emphasis on myths and poetry; he also has written music scores for dance and drama for TV Ontario, Brock University and the Toronto District Board of Education.

For the last 25 years we have been writing original music for the classroom and the performing arts, and we remain committed to our initial goal: to provide educators, students, performing arts practitioners and participants with original music that they can use for their projects. Our Company advisors include composers, artists, teachers, performers, and educational researchers, assuring that our CDs are designed for, and tested in the classroom before they are published.

As well as being a computer expert, Brian spends his time in the jungles of Mexico, exploring the Mayan ruins.
