Hello!

My name is Katy and I am an award winning performance maker. I work both solo and in collaboration, creating work in response to people, place, materials and personal histories.

I seek to actively involve risk and chance in what I make. I try to create unrepeatable moments of performance driven by a process-led practice.

I work with real situations, personal experiences, a curiosity about the world and what happens in the live moment of performance. Sometimes this has looked like wandering the streets of a city as a rat, re-enacting Britney's 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' dance, meeting climate catastrophe with karaoke and submerging a brass band in a public swimming pool.

I work with Sustainability as an essential part of my projects, taking this approach into my work as a Sustainability Collaborator with artists/companies.
