Kat Heath trained in Design for Performance at Wimbledon School of Art and Central Saint Martins. Kat designs set and costume for theatre, music, opera and dance, and is drawn to unconventional and innovative forms of storytelling.
 
Collaboration, play and experimentation are at the heart of Kat’s work, entwining design with narrative from the start of the process. They are drawn to immersive and site-responsive projects, and are excited about exploring how sensory design can make theatre more accessible to audiences with different needs and disabilities.
