Dave Bigelow
David is a recently retired VIU Mathematics professor, who has returned to the classroom as a Creative Writing student. He enjoys writing both fiction and nonfiction and is currently trying his hand at poetry. David is also an actor who has performed in more plays than he can remember. Much of his work has been with the Nanaimo Theatre Group where he is a life member. His latest role is in the world premiere of The Cold House by Mary Humphrey Baldridge. Produced by Artists’ Collective Theatre (ACT theatre.ca), the play opens March 6th at the Bethlehem Centre on Westwood Lake. David travels extensively in Asia and writes travel pieces, many of which are posted to his social media. Oddly enough, the spark for his interest in creative writing occurred while completing projects for a yoga teacher training in 2019. He currently teaches several styles of yoga at Modo Yoga Nanaimo.
