Valerie Cusson

Director / Agent
Cusson Management Inc.
Canada

Holding a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre Studies from the Université du Québec à Montréal and a Specialized Graduate Diploma (DESS) in Contemporary Puppetry Theatre, Valerie developed an interest for the management of cultural businesses, for tour managing and for artist representation while working for a theater for young audience and dance specialized organizations. In 2015, she founded the Cusson Management Inc. agency, where she selects a meticulous roster of artists who reflect her values and interests. Over the past 11 years, she collaborated with internationally renowned artists, such as Officer of the Order of Canada Margie Gillis, Rhodnie Désir (2020 Grand Prix de la danse de Montréal), Bessie Award recipient Shantala Shivalingappa and the celebrated skating company Le Patin Libre. In 2021, she became the first independent agent appointed to the board of La danse sur les routes du Québec. Animated by a passion for wonder, Valérie is involved in numerous unifying and inclusive community-based actions, focused on instilling a bit of magic in every day’s routine.
