The work of Katie Vickers is situated between performance and choreography. She has worked as a professional dancer in the United States and Northern Europe with Daniel Linehan (USA), Martin Nachbar (GE), Benjamin Vandewalle (BE), Vera Tussing (GE), Rósa Omarsdóttir (IS), J Neve Harrington (UK), Thierry de May (BE), Albert Quesada (SP), David Gordon (US), Deborah Hay (US), amongst others. Her own work seeks for friction between sensation and meaning. A question of the body to find the unfamiliar in the familiar. Since 2014, she has been supported by deSingel, Dommelhof TAKT, Vooruit, STUK, wpZimmer, Uferstudios, Schloss Bröllin, and MAAS and has collaborated with Inga Huld Hákonardóttir extensively. Currently, she is focused on slowness as resistance, ecology, and storytelling through collective weaving. Katie received her MFA from University of the Arts in Philadelphia and is also a graduate of P.A.R.T.S. (BE) and The Ohio State University (US).
