Kate began her career as a professional dancer with credits that include Shaping Sound Dance Company, JLO AMA’s, Carrie Underwood’s “Something in the Water,” Dancing with the Stars, Merce Cunningham’s Inlets II, Boardwalk Empire, Ellen, SYTYCD Season 12, Billy Bell’s Lunge Dance Collective, works by Jason Parsons, and In The Heights.
Although Kate excelled in her career as professional dancer, her true love was always choreography. She was the runner up at the Capezio Ace awards for choreography in 2016 and was given the opportunity to premiere her work, Better Late Than Never, at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center, which was later brought to Jacob’s Pillow’s Inside Out Festival. Her choreography credits include Insitu Site Specific Festival, Houston Metropolitan Dance Company, Martha Graham Next Wave Festival, Steps Performance Lab, Lindenwood University, John Hopkins Peabody Conservatory, as well as assistant choreographer on the Netflix series Westside and The Wrong Man at MCC Theatre.
As the pandemic shut down much of the dance industry, Kate decided to take on a new challenge and enrolled at The New School. She graduated a year early in 2022, summa cum laude, with a liberal arts degree and a minor in film production. Her short film, “Anyone Who Knows,” will be playing at the Portland Dance Film Festival in the fall. She is currently in post-production with three other new short films to be released in 2023.
