Yota Krili, poet, playwright and teacher. After arriving in Australia in 1959, Yota Krili-Kevans worked in factories and at various other jobs while gaining a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Diploma of Education from the University of Sydney. She has taught with the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Education, contributing greatly to encouraging the teaching of modern Greek in NSW schools. Her first play ‘Christina’s Case’, was a study of one of the landmark cases of large-scale racial profiling on the part of social security authorities. Reflecting on the work, Yota articulated her origins as a writer and an underlying vision that continues to run through all her work: “In essence I did not choose anything; I was not even a writer, at the time I was perceived as an activist. I think I chose the theatrical structure intuitively, due to the fact that all people involved communicated through dialogue.” (Source: NeosKosmos.com)
