Cameron Peal
Cameron Peal (he/him/his) is a Vancouver based (Musqueam, Squamish, and TseilWaututh territories) theatre artist, from the Nisga’a Nation of Northwest BC. He is currently the
Indigenous Outreach Coordinator at The Cultch, and an artist in the Pakitinam Residency with Raven Spirit Dance. His current passion is in exploring the abstract; “how can I express
something beyond the boundaries of what’s literal, what’s already clear?” His work looks to blur the boundaries between art forms and genres.
He has had the pleasure of working, so far, for companies such as The Cultch, Electric
Company Theatre, Savage Production Society, Zee Zee Theatre, Pi Theatre, Raven Theatre, Neworld Theatre, Pacific Theatre, Raven Spirit Dance, Rumble Theatre, Touchstone Theatre, Ruby Slippers Theatre, Firehall Arts Centre, and Studio 58 (to name a few).
Actor/director/writer, Studio 58 graduate.
