Oshen Aoun

Oshen Aoun is a Lebanese-Canadian actor, creator, and musician. He is passionate about using different mediums to tell stories, whether it be on stage, on screen, or in music. Pursuing the constant deepening of his process, Oshen finds fulfillment as an actor by diving into as many different worldviews as possible—thus, exploring the complexities of the human condition.

During his time at the National Theatre School of Canada, Oshen has had the honour of working with incredible theatre artists from across the country including Jessica B. Hill, Quincy Armorer, Graeme Somerville, Marla Mclean, Alisa Palmer, Ann-Marie MacDonald, Nancy Benjamin, Tim Welham, Rebecca Harper, Thomas Morgan Jones, and many more.

It is there that he had the pleasure of portraying a wide range of characters, including the title role in Richard III, Osip in Krista Jackson‘s production of The Government Inspector, and Mr. Rochester in Jillian Keiley‘s production of Jane Eyre.

Oshen is also a percussionist, centering around the drum kit and the African djembe, and is one of the rare duduk (woodwind) players in Canada. He is also trained in both armed and unarmed stage combat under the guidance of Anita Nittoly.
