Violette Kay is a queer and disabled sound designer, composer and multidisciplinary performer who studied acting at John Abbott College and violin performance with Alexandre Da Costa at the Conservatoire de musique de Gatineau. Past projects include: From the Stars in the Sky to the Fish in the Sea (Geordie Theatre, META award for Outstanding Emerging Artist), Counter Offence (Teesri Duniya Theatre), Caravan (Tableau D’Hôte Theatre), Alice in 24 (Dense & Stage Theatre), and Amélie (Penumbra Theatre). Violette is also on the board of directors of Kickstart Disability Arts & Culture and hopes to help create accessible and anti-ableist work environments whether it be onstage, behind the scenes, or behind an office desk. She can usually be found in her dimly lit Associate Producer office at Geordie Theatre, puppeteering household objects, or improvising with her trusty loop pedal.
