Higher Education

Katie creates a learning environment that aims to support, challenge and enthuse emerging artists to find and develop their own creative languages and forms of expression through exposure to a wide range of practices, theories, methodologies, and experiences. Katie’s teaching models a creative process driven by practice-based, process-led enquiry within which students are encouraged to develop a sense of responsibility for their own learning as autonomous practitioners.

Specialisms: Site-based and contemporary performance practices, Live Art, Cross-disciplinary practices, Socially Engaged practice, professional development for emerging artists.
