A Note from Katherine

I operate intentionally when designing a process and believe that how a work is made can support or hinder its message.

Caring for my body and the bodies of my collaborators is paramount to any projects I’m leading, and I have found by tending to our embodied needs we create higher quality work with greater humanity.

Whether leading and feeding a set, directing a rehearsal, or sitting down to write, the mind is not the master of the body, but a part of it. Our bodies are essential parts of our creative process.

With this in mind, I bring grace, giggles, grit, and a growth mindset to every process.
