A versatile actress who engages all audiences with her warm, athletic and dark characters.
“Magalie delivers exceptional performances in Sara, Magalie’s tale of a strip-club dancer. This is Magalie’s first written stage play and she makes full use of her background in slam, dance and stunt work as she weaves and choreographs a tale of fear, violence, hope and revolt. This was the easily the best drama production I’ve seen at this year’s Fringe.”
Peter Wheeland - Cult MLT
Magalie’s first ever written short film “FALLING” is now completed!

About
Magalie works all over Canada; Toronto, Vancouver & Montreal.
At the age of 19, Magalie takes the bull by the horns and moves to Toronto to study theatre at the George Brown Theatre School setting high goals of making a breakthrough in the english-speaking industry. She later trains at Armstrong Studios, Second City, The Creative Space and Pro Actors Lab. She later attends a 3-week Meisner bootcamp at The Acting Corps in L.A. and returns to the City of Angels in to train at The Bernard Hiller Acting & Success Studio. Magalie then trains with Michael David Simms in Vancouver for 4 years.
Moreover, she was coached in classical and contemporary vocal arts by Québec-based renowned vocal coach Manon Lefrançois and is working on various dialects with Dorothy Ward, voice and dialect coach at the Stratford Festival in Canada for four seasons. She is also a former competitive gymnast and has worked as a physical performer, stunt double, acrobat and pole dancer in commercials and Film & TV.
Furthermore, she has directed four plays and expertly produced "Les Murs ont des Yeux" about spousal abuse which made quite an impact. She also performed her “first written play and makes full use of her background in slam, dance and stunt work as she weaves and choreographs a tale of fear, violence, hope and revolt. This was easily the best drama production [Pierre Wheeland - CULT MTL] has seen at the Fringe.” SARA held its world premiere at the Montreal Fringe 2018 which led to the play being toured in Toronto.
In 2020 Magalie founded her self-tape, acting & film studio ARTÉFAKT where she teaches on-camera classes, coaches professional actors on their auditions and also produces, writes and directs films & stage productions.
