													<p>Christopher Deacon was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Canada&rsquo;s National Arts Centre in June 2018. Throughout his career, he has been a champion of the arts in Canada who believes in supporting ambitious new creation and propelling Canadian artists on the world stage. He is a strong proponent of making performing arts centres more open, accessible and engaged with their communities. His first year as President and CEO celebrated the 50th anniversary season of the NAC with a number of special initiatives, including a European Tour by the NAC Orchestra, and an open house that welcomed thousands of Canadians to backstage tours and performances. Most recently, he enabled the NAC to undertake a number of ambitious artistic projects, including the NAC Orchestra&rsquo;s first performance at Carnegie Hall in 30 years (at which they performed the American premiere of a new symphony by Philip Glass, commissioned by the NAC); and <em>Un.Deux.Trois</em>, a trilogy of plays by Mani Soleymanlou featuring more than 35 actors that toured to nine Francophone theatres across the country.</p>

<p>Christopher Deacon has recruited extraordinary individuals to join the NAC&rsquo;s artistic leadership team, including Nina Lee Aquino (English Theatre), Caroline Ohrt (Dance) and Mani Soleymanlou (French Theatre).</p>

<p>After the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March 2020, he led the NAC through a challenging financial situation, and focused the organization on leading and supporting the renewal of the Canadian performing arts &ndash; the vision of the NAC&rsquo;s three-year Strategic Plan, <em>The Next Act</em>. In September 2023, the NAC followed up with its 2023-2026 Strategic Plan, <a href="https://nac-cna.ca/en/about/strategic-plan/2023-2026"><em>The Journey Ahead</em></a>, in which the NAC recommitted to working with artists and arts organizations from across the land to revitalize the performing arts sector.</p>

<p>Christopher Deacon has prioritized equity, diversity and inclusion at the National Arts Centre. His tenure included the landmark launch of Indigenous Theatre and its highly successful first season in 2019-2020. His tenure also included the debut of Black Out Nights at the NAC, in which NAC English Theatre invited Black audiences to experience a theatrical performance with their community; the programming of an increasing number of IBPoC artists and companies; the hiring of a Director of Equity and Inclusion; and anti-racism training at the Board, Senior Management and staff levels of the organization.</p>

<p>During his 22 years as Managing Director of the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Christopher Deacon was the driving force behind numerous ambitious initiatives. He led the Orchestra to tour nationally and internationally, including the seven-city China Tour in 2013 that included eight concerts and 80 education events, as well as the 2014 UK Tour, the largest Canadian initiative overseas to mark the centenary of Canada&rsquo;s entry into the First World War. He was Executive Producer of <em>Life Reflected</em>, a multidisciplinary, critically acclaimed NAC commission that the Orchestra performed across Canada, and in Europe in 2019. He also chaired the Committee overseeing the NAC&rsquo;s 2015-2018 Architectural Rejuvenation and Production Renewal Projects.</p>

<p>Christopher Deacon trained as a composer, studying piano, harmony and solf&egrave;ge at the Conservatoire de Musique du Qu&eacute;bec in Hull. He later received a Bachelor of Music degree in Composition from the University of Toronto. He lives in Ottawa with his wife Gwen Goodier. They have a daughter, Charlotte, and he is stepfather to Katherine and Peter.</p>

													<p>Christopher Deacon occupe le poste de pr&eacute;sident et chef de la direction du Centre national des Arts (CNA) du Canada depuis juin 2018. Au fil de sa carri&egrave;re, il s&rsquo;est fait champion des arts au Canada, et s&rsquo;attache tout particuli&egrave;rement &agrave; appuyer les nouvelles cr&eacute;ations ambitieuses et &agrave; faire rayonner les artistes d&rsquo;ici sur la sc&egrave;ne mondiale. Il privil&eacute;gie dans son approche les centres des arts de la sc&egrave;ne invitants et accessibles, et des liens forts avec les communaut&eacute;s. Sa premi&egrave;re ann&eacute;e &agrave; la t&ecirc;te du CNA co&iuml;ncidait avec le cinquantenaire de l&rsquo;organisation, qui a notamment &eacute;t&eacute; soulign&eacute; par une tourn&eacute;e europ&eacute;enne de l&rsquo;Orchestre du CNA et une journ&eacute;e porte ouverte avec prestations et coup d&rsquo;oeil derri&egrave;re le rideau pour des milliers de personnes. Depuis son entr&eacute;e en fonction, il a rendu possible nombre de projets artistiques ambitieux, dont le retour de l&rsquo;Orchestre du CNA &agrave; Carnegie Hall apr&egrave;s 30 ans d&rsquo;absence &agrave; l&rsquo;occasion de la premi&egrave;re am&eacute;ricaine d&rsquo;une nouvelle symphonie de Philip Glass, command&eacute;e par le CNA; et la trilogie <em>Un. Deux. Trois.</em> de Mani Soleymanlou, pr&eacute;sent&eacute;e en tourn&eacute;e dans neuf th&eacute;&acirc;tres francophones &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;chelle du pays et mettant en vedette une quarantaine d&rsquo;interpr&egrave;tes.</p>

<p>Christopher Deacon a recrut&eacute; des talents exceptionnels au sein de l&rsquo;&eacute;quipe de direction artistique du CNA, y compris Nina Lee Aquino (Th&eacute;&acirc;tre anglais), Caroline Ohrt (Danse) et Mani Soleymanlou (Th&eacute;&acirc;tre fran&ccedil;ais).</p>

<p>&Agrave; la suite de la pand&eacute;mie d&eacute;clar&eacute;e en mars 2020, Christopher Deacon a aid&eacute; le CNA &agrave; naviguer une situation financi&egrave;re pr&eacute;caire et &agrave; r&eacute;orienter ses efforts sur la relance du secteur canadien des arts de la sc&egrave;ne &ndash; la cl&eacute; du plan strat&eacute;gique triennal <em>Le prochain acte </em>du CNA. Dans <a href="https://nac-cna.ca/fr/about/strategic-plan/2023-2026"><em>Imaginons la suite</em></a>, le plan qui a suivi, en septembre 2023, l&rsquo;organisation a renouvel&eacute; son engagement &agrave; revitaliser le secteur des arts vivants en collaboration avec des artistes et des organisations artistiques de tout le pays.</p>

<p>Christopher Deacon a par ailleurs fait de la diversit&eacute;, de l&rsquo;&eacute;quit&eacute; et de l&rsquo;inclusion une priorit&eacute; pour le CNA. C&rsquo;est notamment au cours de son mandat qu&rsquo;a &eacute;t&eacute; inaugur&eacute; l&rsquo;historique Th&eacute;&acirc;tre autochtone et sa tr&egrave;s populaire premi&egrave;re saison en 2019&ndash;2020; qu&rsquo;ont vu le jour les soir&eacute;es Black Out, exp&eacute;riences th&eacute;&acirc;trales con&ccedil;ues par le Th&eacute;&acirc;tre anglais du CNA &agrave; l&rsquo;intention des communaut&eacute;s noires; qu&rsquo;un plus grand nombre de talents autochtones, noirs et de couleur ont &eacute;t&eacute; mis en vedette; qu&rsquo;a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute; un poste de direction de l&rsquo;&eacute;quit&eacute;, la diversit&eacute; et l&rsquo;inclusion; et que les membres du CA, de la haute direction et du personnel ont re&ccedil;u une formation antiracisme.</p>

<p>Il a &eacute;galement men&eacute; &agrave; bien plusieurs projets d&rsquo;envergure au cours de ses 22 ans &agrave; titre de directeur administratif de l&rsquo;Orchestre du CNA. Il a notamment pilot&eacute; des tourn&eacute;es nationales et internationales, dont une en Chine (2013), qui comportait huit&nbsp;concerts et 80 activit&eacute;s &eacute;ducatives dans sept villes, ainsi qu&rsquo;une au R.-U. (2014) &ndash; la plus importante initiative canadienne outre-mer soulignant le centenaire du d&eacute;clenchement de la Premi&egrave;re Guerre mondiale. Il a aussi &eacute;t&eacute; le fer de lance de la commande multidisciplinaire <em>R&eacute;flexions sur la vie</em>, qui a &eacute;t&eacute; salu&eacute;e par la critique et interpr&eacute;t&eacute;e par l&rsquo;Orchestre aux quatre coins du pays, de m&ecirc;me qu&rsquo;en Europe, en 2019. En outre, il a&nbsp;pr&eacute;sid&eacute; le comit&eacute; responsable des projets de renouvellement architectural et de mise &agrave; niveau des &eacute;quipements de production du CNA.</p>

<p>Christopher Deacon a &eacute;tudi&eacute; la composition, le piano, l&rsquo;harmonie et le solf&egrave;ge au Conservatoire de musique du Qu&eacute;bec, &agrave; Hull, et a plus tard obtenu un baccalaur&eacute;at en composition de l&rsquo;Universit&eacute; de Toronto. Il habite &agrave; Ottawa avec son &eacute;pouse, Gwen Goodier. Il est le p&egrave;re de Charlotte, et le beau-p&egrave;re de Katherine et Peter.</p>
