    About Kate C.

    I specialize in movement for the actor, and draw from the Alexander Technique, Viewpoints, Yoga, and Rudolph Laban's effort action work. I am also classically trained within the grand tradition of Constantin Stanislavski and have spent much of my professional career working with Shakespeare. In addition, I work commercially and can offer students coaching within that context. I am happy to take any student at any interest level. I request an open indoor space for physical movement and play.

    Experience

    Working Professional Actor

    May, 2006 - Present

    Various

    I work commercially within the city of Chicago and theatrically all over the country. Favorite roles include Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, Masha in Three Sisters, and Hecuba in Hecuba. I also love the on-camera work I've done, especially a recent BMO Harris Bank commercial with members of the Chicago Bulls. Life as an artist is rich!

    Certifications

    Alexander Technique

    May, 2014

    AmSAT

    I am currently completing my second year in a three year, 1600 hour certification course in the Alexander Technique, a practice of psycho-physical reeducation that allows people to use themselves with more ease and freedom. This work has enriched and enlivened personal acting work. I am happy to include elements of the Alexander Technique in my work with acting students, should they be interested. Please Note: I will not receive my certification until June of 2015, but for purposes of posting this to my profile, the website required that I enter a certification date. I will not be officially certified for another academic school year.
