Hello!
I’m Katy and I work here at The Kirkgate doing the Finance and Admin. I moved to Cockermouth in April 2024 and have been overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity of the community here, particularly The Kirkgate, who have welcomed me into this fantastic space.
My background lies in contemporary dance, which I like to describe as an excuse to wiggle about and generally be a bit odd on stage. Which is probably why I was drawn to Berlin where I was living for the previously, working as a yoga instructor. Before this I was in London, working in theatres and dancing/choreographing whenever I had the chance. I’m still moving and grooving in my own time and hope to get a chance to perform some of my works up here in Cumbria!=
I’m really enjoying my new role at The Kirkgate – it’s the total opposite to anything I’ve done before but I do enjoy a good challenge and I look forward to what the future holds for me here.
