Authors & Headliners
Connor Yuzwenko-Martin

Connor is the founder and artistic director of The Invisible Practice, a Deaf arts collective based in amiskwacîwâskahikan. He is a producer, performer, and playwright. His first two major original productions, After Faust and CARBON MOVEMENTS, both premiered in Edmonton in 2023 after several years of development, and a third show is in the works. He has nurtured a lifelong passion for theatre and accessibility, and relentlessly explores the relationships between Deaf/Disability experience, art, politics, therapy, and advocacy, with a constant eye toward the collective liberation of all intersectional human beings.
Connor is a certified Access Activator through Tangled Art+Disability’s training program. While he also happens to hold degrees and diplomas from both University of Alberta and MacEwan University, these institutions have demonstrated complicity and aggression in colonial and genocidal projects. He no longer claims identity with these institutions until there is sufficient systemic change toward collective liberation.
