Yigale Nyado

Graduated YorkU with a BA.Honors in Economics and work as a Retirement Specialist in Charlottetown, PEI which helps fund my Hoop/Skate obsession & growing hobby list. I have performed several Dance Hoop/Skate Acts at Pride PEI festivals, BHM Gala, Belfast Farm Festival, What’s Eating You Talent Showcase, and curated beginner HulaHoop Workshops during Polar Pride as well as multiple other community event facilitation like PridePEI’s Speed Friending and Movement Workshops. I was honored to debut my first (Public) spoken Word piece “UnGodly Hours” at The Guild’s ‘While Black’ Art Exhibition. My work has been published in community Poetry Anthology “Home” and working on more storytelling through various forms! I love dedicating my time, creating spaces for folks to lean into Rest and Play as grounds of healing and re-imagination. My Rollerskate and Hoop fever has seen me book multiple gigs for the last 4years and I intend on extending that track record.

My art has branched into various spaces like the Film industry to appease my love for writing & help bring ideas to life on screen. I’ve been exploring professional work by immersing myself in FilmPei workshops, completing multiple trainings like Grip&Lighting, DOP & Camera Prep, WomenInFilm & Assistant Directing workshops, eventually getting hired as P.A/Grip&Lighting assist for “The Last Ice Boat” a wonderful film made in PEI., and laying the groundwork for dream roles working Crew in future Short Films; eventually aim to leave my mark bringing audiences deep feeling in theatres.
