Dawn Bird(I)
- Producer
- Actress
- Writer
Born in Kamloops, B.C., yet raised in Nelson, B.C., Dawn traveled
frequently from Nelson to Vancouver, B.C. and back again in order to
learn as much as she could about acting. One of those trips lead her to
study at Simon Fraser University at their Summer Symposium for Theatre
under the direction of Andrew Macilroy, where she took a serious turn
of interest that would be the stepping stone to her career. After
several years of performing in the Nelson Capitol Theatre, she decided
to try her hand at acting for Film and Television and underwent
extensive training under the instruction of Tony Barr and studied the
Meisner technique under NewYork acting coach Andrea Geometti. Having
been extremely limited to film and television work in the city of
Nelson, she still managed to obtain her first professional role as the
lead (after under-going several months of Butoh training) and as the
Narrator for a short film entitled "The Muse" for Bravo!FACT. Shortly
after that, Dawn moved to Regina, Saskatchewan. She has trained with
professional acting coaches such as Neil Schell, Traci Foster and over
half a dozen more well established individuals whom have all helped her
to enhance the various means of her artful expression. In 2008, Dawn
came to terms with the fact that if she is truly meant to succeed and
push ahead and fulfill her lifelong dream to be recognized as a
professional Actor, she would have to pursue the industry 100%. After
having recognized that, she quit the upper management full-time job she
had had with the same company for 14 years and established B.E.Z.
Productions in March of 2009. Unfortunately the name of her Company,
which is meant to sound like "Be Easy" was mispronounced more times
than she would have liked. So in order to correct this, Dawn had the
spelling of the name changed to B.E.ZEE PRODUCTIONS in January of 2012.
You may have seen Dawn in a number of television shows, television
commercials, feature films & may have even heard her voice for several
television & radio commercials, and when she's not busy acting or
voicing, she is busy working on the "other side" of the camera as one
of the crew members. As the Producer of B.E.ZEE PRODUCTIONS, Dawn's
first production was the comedic web series, "Over the Fence."
