“Kate is a gifted teacher of great sensitivity and depth. Always attentive to the needs of each individual student, she embodies the responsive presence that she teaches.”
Kate is an actress, writer and teacher. She trained at RADA and works in Theatre, Television and Film. She has co-written scripts for theatre, the BBC and Channel 4 and teaches on a weekly basis at The Actors Centre and at her own practice in Exmouth Market.
In 1997 Kate met Scott Williams and discovered the Meisner Technique and embarked on an ongoing practice and exploration of the work. She began teaching the Technique in 2000 and teaches in the UK and internationally.
With the work firmly rooted in and focused on the Meisner Technique, Kate has been inspired by her explorations into the work of Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms Dance; Kath Burlinson, Authentic Artist Collective; Paul Oertel, Discipline of Freedom; Paula Shaw, The Max and others, to widen and continuously develop her approach.
Kate has named her practice, acting, writing and teaching, Present Performance
