Kate Purdum

is a theatre-maker and writer working at the intersection of performance and its criticism, passionate about the imaginative possibilities contained within both rigorous critical scholarship and tactile, experimental forms.

Kate is primarily a director & dramaturg, but also a producer, a stage manager, and, on occasion, a sound designer. You can find her writing in HowlRound & Theatre and Performance Design Journal and her zines scattered to the wind.

“A bossy little person.”
