Heather Davis-Fisch will be leaving UFV at the end of June to take up the position of Dean of Fine Arts at the University of Lethbridge. Her presence and leadership will be greatly missed among the students and the UFV community. Heather has been the director of SoCA since its formation in 2019 and has been a faculty member in Theatre since 2011.
SoCA is thrilled to welcome Shelley Liebembuk as the new school director starting in July 2023. Shelley Liebembuk is an assistant professor in Theatre at UFV and has directed the productions Antigone and The Laramie Project. As an educator, Shelley’s focus is on praxis-based learning and inspiring creative and critical engagement in the studio and the seminar. Shelley’s theatre scholarship is informed by her professional work as an actor and dramaturg. Her current research projects are on contemporary multilingual performance ensembles and remote acting pedagogy.
“I am excited to support and amplify the work of SoCA students, faculty, and staff in this new role, and look forward to stewarding our dynamic and innovative School of Creative Arts as it continues to establish itself as an educational leader and community partner in the Fraser Valley,” says Liebembuk.
