Bó Bárdos - Artistic Leadership Resident 2026

Hungarian-born mezzo, actor, creator, and collaborator, Bó (Margaret) Bárdos, is based in Southern Ontario and loves touring. At home with classical as well as new, experimental music, her international appearances make use of her varied training: from Butoh dance and physical theatre to extended vocal technique and improvisation. Collaborations have included Luminato, Soundstreams, Crow’s Nest, NUMUS, Open Ears, and most of the major choirs in Ontario. She is a grateful member of the studio of Tom Schilling, is a peer assessor for funders across Canada, has sat on the board for NUMUS and InterArts Matrix, and continues as Company Manager at MT Space in Kitchener. When not on stage, in the studio, or working with arts organizations, she can be found on the back of a horse or meditating under her favourite clump of trees.
