Judi Amato

Judi (she/her) is a multi-medium writer engaging primarily with dramatic writing, prose and poetry. The characters' humanity and how they relate to one another is always at the forefront of Judi's writing, as she uses interpersonal relationship as a starting off point to explore a variety of themes such as grief, mental illness and queer love amongst others. A trained performer enamoured with all things theatre, she spent the last few years gaining experience in different sides of theatre such as dramaturgy, directing and producing in order to be both a self sufficient artist and a valuable collaborator to others.
