Katherine is a dance artist currently based in Tkaronto. Since graduating from The School of TDT, she has worked with Kaeja d’Dance, Mile Zero Dance, Nostos Collectives, Peggy Baker, The Platform TO, Tia Kushniruk, Mateo Galindo Torres, Meghann Michalsky, Sasha Ivanochko, and Naishi Wang. She feels liberated when she is able to act as a physical portal for her own and collaborator’s stories, ideas and sketches.

She is fascinated by the use of spirals, momentum and opposition/conflict in the body, and integrates these functions into her ever-evolving movement practice. Her passion for sharing has brought her to teach at The School of TDT, Canada’s National Ballet School, Ballet Edmonton, and YYC Contemporary Training. Katherine  continues to investigate her own creative practice and has presented her work at festivals and programs across Canada. In fall 2021, her duet with bassist/composer Julian Anderson-Bowes, ‘In pieces’, was presented at Fluid Festival (Calgary).
