Multi-disiplinary homegrown artist weish, an Associate Artist with Checkpoint Theatre, serves as Secondary: The Musical's playwright, composer, and musical director.
Aside from her work as part of the electronic duo .gif, she is also known for her contributing music to Sandi Tan's Netflix documentary Shirkers and teaming up with music, theatre, literary, and dance creatives.
"My past life as a literature teacher showed me an array of hard truths that deeply shook me. But this story is not birthed entirely from a place of cynicism; as much as my brush with bureaucracy left me weary, my memories of the classroom are filled with immense joy," shared weish in an Instagram post.
