In 2016, Ross was awarded the Siminovich prize for Directing. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/theatre-and-performance/indie-theatre-company-director-nadia-ross-wins-siminovitchprize/article32567695/ In its award statement, the Siminovich jury noted of Ross' oeuvre: "Her work is characterized by an immediacy, an intimacy that is tangible to the viewer. Her approach is un-spectacular: she focuses on the fragility of human interactions and their complexity. The beauty in humans is held in steep contradiction with our collective ignorance." https://siminovitchprize.com/laureates/nadia-ross/
Ross grew up in the Outaouais in Western Québec and studied at the University of Toronto. After her studies, she was advised by a Drama Professor to go went to East Berlin to apprentice with the Berlin Ensemble http://www.laforesta.co/nadia-ross.

Aesthetic
[edit]A self-declared outsider artists, Ross' work has its basis in theatre but seeks expand the form into performances that is intimate and focusses on human interactions. The work is characterized by a lengthy research and dramaturgy process, “I’m a small, independent company artist, and I always will be. I’ll always be working the threadbare way. I live out in the world for a reason. I work with found material for a reason. That’s become my style, and I’m not going to change that. That’s just who I am.” https://stratfordfestivalreviews.com/blog/2017/11/01/a-look-back-with-siminovitch-prize-winner-nadia-ross/
