Katherine Ferrier is a dance artist/educator, poet and visual artist who has been improvising and making dances since the late ‘80s. She earned her BA in Dance and Women’s Studies from Middlebury College, and MFA in Dance and Performance from Sarah Lawrence College. A co-founder of The Architects, an improvisational quartet with a collaborative performance history spanning nearly 20 years, she is also the founder and Artistic Director of Immediate Theatre, an ensemble of movers, musicians, video and visual artists, lighting and set designers, collaborating together to create spontaneous dance theater works. Her choreography and improvised work have been performed throughout New England and New York, most recently at Judson Church, WAX, Dixon Place, Danspace at St. Mark’s Church, and in North Carolina at the North Carolina Dance Alliance Annual Gala Concert, Arts Together, Bickett Gallery and the Cultural Center in Greensboro. Guest artist positions include those at Durham School of the Arts, Bennington College, the FlynnArts dance program at the Flynn Theatre in Burlington, VT, Movement Research, Muhlenberg College and Wesleyan University. An improviser at heart, Katherine delights in composing in the moment, be it with fabric, found objects, words or bodies in motion. Her various forms of artistic expression continue to weave in and around each other, each informing and illuminating the next. As a dance artist, she has performed and taught throughout the United States and Europe, and her one of a kind improvisational art quilts hang in over twenty private collections. After spending a year teaching and traveling throughout Russia and Finland, she moved to North Carolina in 2005, where she has been a guest artist at Meredith College, and created/directed the new dance program at Millbrook High School. Collaboration is a cornerstone of her work, and she thrives on the exciting alchemy of working with a variety of artists. Recent collaborators include: Pamela Vail, Christina Soriano, Jennifer Kayle, Lisa Gonzales, Courtney Greer, Miguel Gutierrez, Sini Haapalinna (Finland), Cinzia Fiaschi (Italy) and Nina Gasteva/ Iguan Dance Theatre (Russia).
