Dance artist Katie Ward works and creates in Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. She draws from the inner world of the self – an experience of change connected to the world. Katie’s work emerges from the field of research-based choreography and expanded choreographic practice, creating the conditions for forms, relationships, and meanings to emerge, and inviting audiences to repeatedly revise what they think they are seeing.
Katie has developed stage-based dance performances, spectator-led works, a radio performance, and projects created for other unconventional spaces. Katie offers workshops, practice-sharing, and artistic exchange. She has presented her work in the UK, France, the USA, Québec and across Canada. With Marie Claire Forté, Katie continues to develop the score to dance infinite realities – a practice sharing that actualises dancer’s ever-changing embodied imagination – for dancing that continually forms and re-forms itself. Katie holds a Master of Theatre Practices from Artez University, in Arnhem, Netherlands.
