Questions with Nicole Smith | The Write Project

Interview with Nicole Smith of the Women's Work Festival. She has lived in and/or travelled around beautiful places like Australia, New Brunswick, Peru and the Eaton Centre, but is now based in Cambridge, ON, where she is from. She is a writer and theatre creator who spends most of her time distracted by the internet. Nicole studied theatre at the University of Guelph and spent 2016-2018 working as a Producer for Pat the Dog Theatre Creation. She is founding Artistic Producer of Sonderlust, a theatre collective dedicated to the creation of original work and the staging of women’s stories. Her work has been supported by the Canada Council, the Ontario Arts Council, the Metcalf Foundation, the Shaw Festival, Canadian Stage, mammalian diving reflex and Pat the Dog. With a mandate focused primarily on broadening a perspective and engaging the community, Nicole is thrilled to share more about Sonderlust’s creation processes with the Women’s Work Festival and St. John’s community this year.Originally broadcast on August 14, 2023 on CHMR 93.5 FM in St. John's, and on other great stations across the country.  Check out As Loved Our Fathers, the latest book from Write Project host Matthew LeDrew: https://amzn.to/3HB7BABIt's a hunt for the Holy Grail taken on by an American Anthropologist and a Newfoundland History professor that unveils hidden secrets within Newfoundland history!
