Over the years, Louisa Ferguson’s artistic path has taken many forms. She has studied music, dance, theatre, and numerous visual art disciplines, including a 15-year career as a contemporary glass artist. She also holds an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Saskatchewan.

Her MFA thesis explored artistic practice as an embodied response to the rolling landscape of the prairie pothole region where she lives, shaped through collaboration with place.

Louisa’s history with Dancing Sky Theatre began as a co-founder alongside Angus, serving as general manager for two decades and performing in various productions over the theatre’s 33-year history.

She is delighted to return now, stepping into the role of storyteller.

Angus was born a long time ago in the magical hills in the South West of England. He grew up and went to school there and was a fairly normal English boy. When he was 15 years old, his Mum fell in love and remarried, and it was decided that the whole new family was going to move to Canada. Angus had never been to Canada, and he knew very little about it, but it all sounded like an exciting adventure. A house was bought in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan which sounded very exotic and different. So, the first time he set foot in his new land was when he moved here. It was January 3rd 1978, at 1:30 in the morning. It was 35 below with a pretty serious wind. Angus had never felt anything like it before in his life.

​

Once he was properly equipped, Angus started to explore the Canadian Prairies and slowly fell in love with them. Apart from one 4-year stint in Montreal where he met his wonderful wife Louisa, he has lived and worked in his new home, Saskatchewan ever since.

Angus is very proud that he has been able to make a living through the Arts – sharing stories with other people and making things.
