This is the website of the theatre and cabaret artist-researcher Katie Paterson, not to be confused with the Scottish visual artist!

​

I make theatre that is playful, feminist, and usually musical. I'm excited about work that breaks the fourth wall, disrupts linear narrative and has fun with the audience: I'm a huge fan of Lucy McCormick, Julia Masli and Rachel Bloom. My focus as a researcher is on the audience relationship in comedy and queering healthcare narratives. I've published on cabaret as methodology, performance and women's health, and gender in Operation Mincemeat.

 

On this site you can read some more about my performance projects, teaching and research. I'm always happy to discuss work as a writer, dramaturg, director or researcher, and you can see my full training and performer CV on Spotlight.
