Katrina Kadoski – Sooke

Originally from Fort McMurray, Alberta, Katrina Kadoski is a Sooke-based singer-songwriter and playwright. Her work invites audiences to form meaningful connections with their hearts. Kadoski has written several one-woman multi-media musical dramas, including Victoria Pick of the Fringe winner Cougar Annie Tales (2012) and The Waterman’s Daughter. She was nominated for Best New Play by the Victoria Critics Choice Awards. She is currently working on a new show called Mountain Myths. Katrina spent a month as artist in residence in the Kootenays this past October. She researched, wrote songs and collected/created visual material. Mountain Myths is a work in progress, utilizing original songs and on-screen; art, shadow puppet, stories, historic images and video segments to explore ideas of ‘gold,’ in a few different contexts and the sacrifices and bargains people have made and continue to make to pursue its prospects. Kadoski is also currently getting ready to tour in support of releasing her newest album ‘Soul Anthems’ as well as the other albums recorded during the pandemic. There will be a box set for sale called The ‘Elemental Tiny Tin’ that includes tea and a USB with four albums each relating to a different element. Driven by her love for being onstage, Kadoski has performed for many sold-out audiences around British Columbia. She has also toured in other places across Canada as well as the United States, Ireland and England. Her goal has always been to help audiences connect with their hearts and develop courage and willingness to do powerful healing.
