Julie
Lequin (Born in Laval, Quebec in 1979) is a French Canadian living
in Los Angeles where she received her MFA from the Art Center College
of Design (Pasadena, CA) in 2005.
Julie finds whimsical idiosyncratic differences between homeland
Quebec and adopted America. Speech Lesson is inspired from a real
life experience where Julie worked with a speech coach in Laurel
Canyon. Julie was aiming to switch back and forth between her French-Canadian
and American accents like a smart dog. Her American accent hasn't
drastically improved after a few weeks, Julie had to drop the lesson
because it was too expensive. Julie likes: Tina Fey, dancing home
parties, Jägermeister, to talk to strangers, and cilantro on
baguette.
Lequin has performed at Beyond Baroque in Venice, CA and participated
in several group exhibitions in the United States, Canada, Australia,
and Sweden. Julie is currently trying to stay focused on a book
project "The Ice Skating Tree Opera- director's cuts"
that will be finished, hopefully, this summer and published with
2nd Cannons.
