Fiona Sauder is a Director, Writer, Performer, and Educator with a focus in original, multidisciplinary works.

They co-founded Bad Hats to champion artists with an appetite for collaborative working models and stories that implore our curiosity. Both in the work she creates and facilitates, Fiona looks for ways to highlight the wisdom of our younger generations and offer it to the generations who have come before; as a gift, as a request, as a challenge. Fiona is committed to creating environments centred around play as an act of resistance.
