Entertainment
Katherine has been honored to collaborate with creative teams around the world. While “lights, camera, action” can offer a fun rush, she most enjoys the in-depth collaboration with directors, producers, fellow choreographers, lighting designers, financial stakeholders, and more to shape and execute on a shared vision. Whether strategizing camera angles or working with musical composers for the perfect crescendo in a piece, Katherine is dedicated to a memorable experience for the audience and a collaborative experience for the creative team.
