Writing
Being a writer is an integral part of my artistic practice. I currently write primarily through the theatre companies I’m involved in, Light Echo Theatre and Passing Through Theatre. In addition to writing for the stage, I am a writer for the Hamilton independent arts blog Beyond James and a poetry and fiction writer.

A concept album at its core, Lost & Found follows Sodienye Waboso Amajor as she responds, in real time, to recordings on a mysterious cassette tape that she stumbles across one day.”

Beyond James
Collaboration in Isolation: Re-examining the Artistic Process
“Revisiting the artistic process in a time of social-distancing also requires revisiting the relationship between art and its audience.”
-Rebekka Gondosch
Beyond James
A Site to See: The Value of Site-Specific Art
“…rather than bringing pre-determined stories into a space, site-specific work demands that the artist ask the space what stories it has to tell.”
