KAREN CORDES: WHO I AM?

I am a kreator. I love to make things. The making takes several forms. From theatre to songs to books. 

​

I have lived all across Canada, and several places in the US. I am married to a wonderful man, and we bought our first home this year (2020). 

​

I studied music at Kingswood University (then Bethany Bible College). My journey since then has led to have many different jobs; front desk agent, waitress, barista, Walmart sample girl, photo shop worker, tea sales girl. Even several jobs in theatre; Music Teacher for 3 years at a performing arts centre, stage manager, dinner theatre performer, piano player, and private singing/piano teacher. 

But writing has always been there. In little bits and bobs, seeping out on occasion. 

Now I am letter it out fully!

​

I was lyricist and co-composer for The Jungle Book, performed in 2017 at the Centre for Arts and Education. My own original musical, "Make Believe," had a staged reading in Live Bait's New Works Festival in 2019. 

​

There are many exciting things on the horizon. Watch out, I'm just getting started!
