Ayanda Haas has been selected to participate in Craft Bites, a Playwrights Guild of Canada programme.

Ayanda Haas is a developing writer, a growing actor, a passionate shadow puppeteer and an art teacher. He graduated from Magnet Theatre's trainee programme in 2014 and he is the writer of Tiro's Toughloop Testimony which he wrote in 2020 and which scooped three awards at the Baxter Theatre's Zabalaza Festival: Best Actor, Best Script and Finest of the Festival. The production went on to receive three nominations at the Fleur Du Cap awards. Tiro's Toughloop Testimony took part at Iphulo (Eastern Cape) and Botho (Limpopo) Art Festivals.

'In all walks of life, I believe, for a complete communication of an idea, nothing surpasses a dramatic representation of that idea you want to convey. I believe that as artists we are duty bound to always challenge the unchallengeable and inspire the uninspired.'
