Hello, I'm Kitty.
I am a movement director, choreographer and theatre director based in the East Midlands and London, UK. I trained in contemporary dance and choreography at Trinity Laban, and as part of the very first cohort on the Movement MA at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
I am a movement director, choreographer and theatre director based in the East Midlands and London, UK. I trained in contemporary dance and choreography at Trinity Laban, and as part of the very first cohort on the Movement MA at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
I work across a wide range of theatrical scales and contexts, from village halls to the West End and Broadway. As a movement director much of my work has been within new writing, working frequently with Nottingham Playhouse, Derby Theatre, Pentabus and New Perspectives. As a director and choreographer I specialise in work for children and families, often involving live music and physical comedy. Between 2013 and 2022 I was co-artistic director of WinterWalker, creating physical performance for children and families, and I am a staff director for Box Clever Theatre, dubbed the National Touring Theatre to schools’ company.

Alongside my performance-making practice I am an academic and educator. I lecture in dance research at Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, and deliver workshops and training in practice research, devising and directing and performer movement.

I have recently completed my practice research PhD at De Montfort University, entitled Clowndance: Convergences in contemporary dance and theatrical clowning for pleasure-led performer training. Follow the link below to my research site, to find out more about Clowndance.
