Anything Whatsoever 

Katie Ward seeks to activate both the audience's imagination and her own as a performer. Her movement score uncovers states, identities and forms housed in her own body archive. For their part, the spectators are invited to speak at different moments of the performance, guided by a score: after the performer has revealed a fact about herself to the microphone, the boom operator approaches each spectator with a microphone and invites them to do the same. The scores of movements and the words of the audience evolve in parallel, intertwining, creating a constantly changing composite - a kind of dream bath.


Katie Ward

Katie Ward works from the traditional unceded territories of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe nations. She draws from the inner world of the self and an experience of change and flow connected to the world. Her works contains non-linear assemblages of forms, entities and rhythms, from score led dance. Katie examines formats that emphasize choreography and address self-organization. In her work, audience-performer relationships invite a lively spectatorship. She has developed stage dance performances, performance installations, spectator led performances, a radio performance, and she facilitates workshops, practice sharing situations. Katie has presented her work in the UK, France, USA, Sweden, Québec and across Canada.
