Jordan Tannahill (b. 1988) is a Canadian playwright, theatre director and filmmaker. His plays explore themes of gender politics, youth culture, and marginalized identity through the playful combination of documentary elements and magic realism. The Globe and Mail recently called Tannahill "...the poster child of a new generation of (theatre? film? dance?) artists for whom 'interdisciplinary' is not a buzzword, but a way of life." In 2014 he received the Governor Generals Award for Drama for his book Age of Minority: Three Solo Plays, the John Hirsch Prize for directing, and was named Canadian Artist of the Year by The Globe and Mail. In 2013 Jordan won a Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play for Young Audiences for rihannaboi95, a play performed over Internet live-stream. He has upcoming productions at the National Arts Centre of Canada, Canadian Stage, the Manitoba Theatre Centre, the Harbourfront Centre's World Stage, the 2015 Pan American Games, and The Kitchen in New York City, and teaches at the National Theatre School of Canada. Tannahill's films have been widely exhibited at festivals and galleries including the Toronto International Film Festival, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the British Film Institute. In collaboration with William Ellis, Jordan runs the alternative art-space Videofag, out of a defunct barbershop in Toronto's Kensington Market.
