About Matthew Cava-Ferraro

Matthew Cava-Ferraro (he/him) is a Toronto based theater artist, martial artist, and performer having specialized in Devised Theater at York University. Matthew has always had a fascination with stories and the emotions and conversations they leave the audience with. As a relatively new artist Matthew hopes that his work will leave an emotional impression on those who come see it, as well as having some fun in the process!

His previous performances include Checkpoint (2021) in the Devised Theater Festival at York University. Pigeon Play (2020), Red Rover (2021), Burgertory (2021), and The Birdgeoisie (2022) in York University’s Playground Festival. Descent (2021), Murth Island (2021), and Death of Daisies (2021) in the 5290 festival. A student film called Isolation (2020). Most recently he went on tour with the show The Inevitable Frankie Green (2022/2023) in the Island Fringe, Fringe North, Guelph Fringe, and Toronto Fringe Festivals. As well as being a part of Gory Details (2023) in York University’s Devised Theater Festival where he was co-deviser, fight choreographer, sound designer, and a performer. Matthew is glad he gets to play a part in bringing these stories to life!

Education
York University - 2024

Devised Theater

Instructed by David Jansen, Ian Garrett, Keira Loughran, Sean Robinson Palmer

After studying for four years we were then able to fully mount a play with a group of people, and created a product we could be proud of.
