After reading English at Cambridge University, Katie graduated from London Contemporary Dance School in 2006 and formed her contemporary dance company Made By Katie Green in the same year. Made By Katie Green is now a multi award-winning company (including St Hugh’s Foundation Award 2009, Bonnie Bird New Choreography Award 2007, Pyramid Award for Contemporary Dance 2006) and Katie has received support from Arts Council England through the Grants for the Arts scheme since 2008. Katie was an Associate Artist at Dance4 (Nottingham) from 2007-9, Regional Artist at Déda (Derby) from 2010-11, and in October 2010 she was also selected as one of the first UK Young Artists, presenting her most recent work Matters of Life and Death at the inaugural UKYA01 event. Prior to that, her work Lost and Found (2009) received the award for Best Dance Production at the Buxton Fringe Festival in 2009 and was also a Guardian Pick of the Week. Katie's earlier choreography was nominated for the New Trends prize at the Burgos International Choreography Competition in 2007.
As well as directing Made By Katie Green, Katie works as a freelance performer, choreographer and teacher in London, the East Midlands and the East region (UK). In January 2011 she also began working as a performer with Cie. Willi Dorner (Austria), and her work with Willi Dorner’s company has so far taken her to Austria and South Korea with plans for more touring overseas in 2012.
