Jenny Montgomery

Before coming to Québec, Jenny Montgomery worked as a director, assistant director, and playwright in Chicago for seven years. In Québec City, she served as assistant director for Kevin McCoy's Norge (Trident). She has had three directing observerships with Robert Lepage: Lipsynch (2007); Frame by Frame, a dance project in collaboration with the National Ballet of Canada (2015); and Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a collaboration between Stratford Festival and Ex Machina (2025). In 2013, she translated Lepage's Needles and Opium into English. She directed L'Envol, her autobiographical project that incorporated dance (Chantiers 2016). Her current project in creation, We the Noras, brings together theatre, dance, and documentary interviews to explore women’s relationship with money. For this project, she translated key passages from Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House from the original Dano-Norwegian to French. In addition, Jenny has written four documentary plays on social and transcultural issues. jennymontgomery.net
