Maddie
Bautista (she/her) is a Bi, Saudi Arabia–born Filipina sound designer
and composer based in Treaty 13, Tkaronto. In the daytime, you can catch
Maddie creating and shaping sound in iconic theatres across the country—from composing original music in the earliest stages of new work
development, to tuning systems with live musicians and mid-sized casts.
She has created music and sound design for over eighty productions and
counting across Canada, for theatres such as the Stratford Festival,
Alberta Theatre Projects, the Grand Theatre, Theatre Aquarius,
Soulpepper, the Tarragon, and more. After
the sun goes down, she moonlights as half of xLq with Jordan Campbell—a queer pop performance duo who tours across the country with their
daring, interactive theatre and bizarre, grungy drag. Maddie received two Dora Mavor Moore Awards for Love You Wrong Time (Outstanding Sound Design and Composition and Outstanding Ensemble). www.maddiebautista.com.

Deanna H. Choi lives, breathes, and dreams a life in theatre. She is fascinated by the interaction between sound, music, evolution, architecture, and the impact of live performance on human behaviour. She has collaborated on over 150 productions across Turtle Island and the UK, composing music and designing sonic environments for stage, screen, and multimedia. In a past life she trained as a classical violinist and studied behavioural neuroscience, but to her parents’ chagrin left academia to join the proverbial circus. Her most fulfilling role is in teaching sound design, especially at the National Theatre School of Canada. www.splitbrainsound.com
