The Banff Leadership Arts Ensemble is a group of the Banff Centre’s Leadership Development creativity facilitators, community artists and adult educators. This ensemble works collaboratively in a leadership/arts lab environment to explore, test, and define connections surfacing between leadership, artistic mediums and creative processes. CanUX has been delighted to welcome Colin Funk the past two years – he and the rest of the team at the Leadership Development group are fantastic, and we’re planning on an amazing new program from them this year.

Colin joined Leadership Development as adjunct faculty in 1994 and is well known for his ability to artfully assist individuals, teams and organizations in enhancing their capacity for creativity and innovation. He is the founder and artistic director of Precipice Theatre based in Banff, Alberta and has spent the last 20 years working as an actor, director and theatre producer throughout western Canada. Since 1989, Colin has led the creation of unique leadership development initiatives that bring the arts, ecology and business together through the medium of theatre. In 2003, Colin took the role of Director of Creativity for Leadership Development.
