Biography
Kate Marsh is a disabled dance artist-researcher with over 20 years of experience in performing, teaching, making and researching dance. Her interests are centred around perceptions of the body in the arts and notions of corporeal aesthetics. Specifically, she is interested in each of our lived experiences of our bodies, and how this does (or doesn’t) inform our artistic practice. Her practice-research focusses on leadership in the context of dance and disability and draws strongly on the voices of artists to interrogate questions around notions of leadership, perceptions and the body.
Kate’s work is strongly fed by co-design and co-facilitation, where we all arrive into our practice from our own place and pace and this informs the ways we work together. Privileging all experiences and ways of being in, prioritising a playful, accessible and generative environment.
