Mark Aikman is a consultant, producer, and generally artsy bon vivant. He is currently the Artistic Producer at Birdtown and Swanville and the Director of Development and Communications at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, and has produced or managed projects for a bunch of arts organizations in Toronto – notably spending three years at Crow’s Theatre and four at The Dietrich Group.
Among the things he’s been least qualified for, but still rocked, include producing a drag queen beauty pageant, dancing around in a giant vinyl record costume, and spending a brief stint as a kind of archivist at VideoCabaret. He is currently working on a coffee table book, and a collection of artisanal stuffed animals.
