Spotlighting Canada’s Jewish artists
Join actors Ilana Zackon and David Sklar as they shmooze with creative Jews of all disciplines, taking you behind the scenes of what matters most to Canada’s Jewish arts community—and why our cultural representation matters. Please send pitches to producer Michael Fraiman at [email protected].
David is a performer, writer, educator and jack of all trades (except for the actual trades). He has lived in Montreal, England and Jerusalem before moving to Calgary, where he has made a home since 2014. He was part of the inaugural program of Achvat Amim (Solidarity of Nations) teaching English to Israeli and Palestinian children at Hand in Hand, a co-educational and bilingual school in Jerusalem. During this time, he also worked as the associate artistic director with Theater in the Rough, the only English-language Shakespeare company in Israel.
Ilana Zackon is a classically trained actor, singer, writer and creator. She has performed on stages across Canada, as well as in Edinburgh and New York City. Notable theatre performances include Mazel Tov (Infinitheatre Montreal), So, How Should I Be? (Presentation House Theatre), The Array: The Light We’ll Never See (Upintheair Theatre/Theatre Conspiracy) and Under Milk Wood (Edinburgh Fringe Festival). With 30+ voice-over credits in commercials, video games and animation, she can be heard in The CJN’s Justice: A Holocaust Zombie Story. On-screen credits include Motherland: Fort Salem (Freeform) and Riverdale (CW). Her writing has been featured in The CJN and Kveller. See more at ilanazackon.com .
