Katie Ward

Dance artist

Dance artist Katie Ward works from the traditional unceded territories of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe nations. She draws from the inner world of the self and an experience of change connected to the world. Her works contain non-linear assemblages of forms, entities and rhythms, from score-led dance. In her work, audience-performer relationships are not static – inviting a lively spectatorship. She has developed multiple stage dance performances, a spectator led performance, and a radio performance, Katie offers workshops, practice sharing and mentoring situations. Katie has presented her work in the UK, France, USA, Québec and across Canada. With Marie Claire Forté, Katie is developing a dance practice sharing model that aims to actualise participant artist’s ever-changing physical imagination – to produce a dance that continually forms and re-forms itself. Katie holds a Master of Theatre Practices from Artez University, in Arnhem Netherlands.
