It is with flickering pride and a remarkable sense of accomplishment that Sarah Johnson invites the Polytechnique Montréal and DARE-DARE student communities to join her in laying her dissertation on the table, thus formalizing her "dragüation" as a Stagiaire émérite de l'action!

 After completing her first year of study as an intern at POLY-OUT, there are still many things she doesn't understand. She realizes, however, that the theoretical and practical underpinnings of all her learning in the arts and cultural milieu are extremely problematic. Drawing on her experience, she intends to have a heart-to-heart talk about the engineering of the spaces we share.

 Sarah will share her research with you in a fiery performative presentation! This will be followed by an open Q&A session and a top-notch snack!

Sarah Johnson would like to thank the POLY-OUT committee and DARE-DARE for agreeing to dive into the experience with her.

Sarah Johnson

Sarah Johnson is a young graduate from Rosemere who has just arrived in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. Her valley girl looks only appeal to those who merely know her superficially. Indeed, behind this barely caricatured facade lies a committed and reckless Super Reporter, who gives a hard time to prejudices during the day, but who also knows how to wiggle in the downtown hot spots at night.

She gets her boldness from the cinematic icons featuring the art of guts: Erin Brockovich, the Campus Bunny, Cindy Campbell, Isabelle Huppert in Elle, Kimberly Hart, and not forgetting Thelma and Louise to name a few. Although she is slowly mastering her body and her new role as a reporter, she is not above attracting attention to get what she wants.
