Biografie
Sharon Bakker was born in 1952 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Her contributions to the Saskatchewan and Canadian drama scene have been extensive. Paper Wheat ,which first opened in SintalutaSK in 1977, stands as a highlight on Bakker’s CVas she at various times both acted in and directed the play. The play addresses the Co-operative movement on the Canadian prairies and found success showing all across Canada. Bakker’s interest in co-operatives and prairie themes are reflected throughout her career. She was herself a founder of a number of theatre co-operatives, including the Fully Dressed Ladies Co-opand Bakkery Products Co-op. In the early seventies, Bakker was a founding member of the 25thStreet Theatre group, and in the early eighties established VIEW, a group for female performing artists in Vancouver. Bakker’s involvement in the Canadian Actor’sEquity Association has also been extensive. She has performed in over fifty stage shows, as well as made around fifteen film and television appearances, and has numerous CBC radio credits to her name. Among her awards are the Royal Jubilee Memorial Medal,given in 2002; the Elizabeth Sterling Haynes Award for her performance as Hagar in The Stone Angel (1997); and a nomination for the Dora Mavor Moore Award for her performance in Paper Wheat (1979).
