Kathleen researches contemporary and interactive dance that is emotional, exploring the wisdom and ancestral practices. Always striving to understand new original forms of movement, and performative arts. She encourages resonance between art forms and expressions that touch everyone, often addressing cultural exchange on ecological, political, and social environments within communities.
She addresses terms of decolonisation through a curatorial framework that crossover practices that embrace intergenerational issues to standing up for the rights of universal cohesion and human equity.
Focusing in body-art installation and site specific performances, Kathleen’s work encourages intercultural community engagement. Her most recent choreographic work called PRIMORDIAL was selected as part of YIRRAMBOI_23, The First Nations Festival in Melbourne
