About Katie...

Katie believes that performing arts is the perfect tool for adults and children to gain insights into worlds and topics that they may otherwise never get to explore.
Her background stems from dance including contemporary, ballet, tap and jazz, plus musical theatre helping Katie be confident using her voice. Relevant skills include vast experience teaching dance and circus workshops as well as having a driving license and car.
Katie trained for an FDA in Contemporary Circus and Physical Theatre at Circomedia, Bristol from 2010-2012 then returned in 2014 after two years of travelling, teaching and doing outreach work to compete a BA Hons in Contemporary Circus and Physical Performance. Under the tuition of Bim Mason she developed a love for physical theatre, specifically ensemble devising and work which has a relevant and cutting edge to it. Her main skill is physical theatre but she can also unicycle, juggle and perform basic duo-acrobalance. She later studied for a PG Cert with Jasmin Vardimon Dance Company at Royal Holloway and for a Masters in Anthropology of Childhood, Youth and Education at Brunel University in collaboration with Italian based company Global English Theatre.

In May 2016 Katie set up her own theatre company ‘Wild Light’, who are currently focussing on taking highly skilled interactive performances to Primary School children who may not get access to the arts on a regular basis. Wild Light has a focus on using performance as a positive tool for social, cultural and political development. Alongside this they lead specialised workshops for children and continued professional development training for teachers, with the aim to encourage schools to consider the benefits of having dance and performing arts as an integral part of their curriculum.
