About Kate:
Kate Franklin was born in North Bay, Ontario. She received her early dance education at Barbara Treleaven School of Dancing, then undertook her professional training at Quinte Ballet School.

Her own choreography was performed by dance training programs such as Quinte Ballet School, Canadian Contemporary Dance Theatre, companies such as JD Dance and at festivals including At the Wrecking Ball and Dusk Dances.
Kate was a mobilizing force in the Toronto contemporary dance community. She worked with Series 8:08 for many years, and was the co-founder (with Tina Fushell) of Ambitious Enterprises, a company that produced five "At the Wrecking Ball" programs of interdisciplinary dance over ten years (from 2002-2012).
With Kate Holden, Franklin founded firstthingsfirst productions in 2005. Together, the Kates commissioned an impressive number of works from independent Canadian choreographers and produced three full-length evenings of dance.
Now living in Vancouver, Kate is the Associate Director of Modus Operandi, and has worked with choreographers Idan Cohen, Shauna Elton, Justine A. Chambers, Meredith Kalaman and companies Fight With a Stick Performance, Company 605 and Tara Cheyenne Performance. She regularly returns to Toronto to work with Company Vice Versa (Valerie Calam).

Show Notes:
Segment 1 - Notes from the studio. My project is changing before my eyes. It’s hard to listen to myself and not get caught up in the “ideas” of what the project is supposed to be.
Segment 2 - Millenials corner. From a young Vancouver artist, Ileanna Cheladyn, who wrote to me that she fuels her ideas by surrounding herself with people she loves and that love her. Beautiful! Also a great quote from writer performer Jan Derbyshire: “you can’t change the people around you, but you can change the people around you”. Who are you surrounding yourself with?
Segment 3 - Art Police What are your metrics for success? Are you comparing yourself to your real peers? Or art stars who come from money and/or loads of crazy luck?
Your assignment, to collect yourself
Segment 4 - Inerview with dance artist Miriam Colvin
