Kate Kamo McHugh is a dance and theatre artist from Kitchener, Ontario. Recent highlights include an artist residency at the National Arts Centre, presenting a solo piece at IMPACT 21 Theatre Festival,  and performing with Cosmic Fishing Theatre. In 2021 Kate co-facilitated a movement-based workshop for the Newcomer Youth Program in partnership with MT Space and the YMCA. In the spring of 2022 she created a short dance film, PULSE, with directors Allen Kaeja and Olya Glotka. Pulse was created with Japanese Canadian artist Louise Noguchi as a reinterpretation and response to her film Searchers.  Currently, Kate is working on her solo show Twenty Grains of Rice: Seeds of Reclamation, an exploration of her Japanese Canadian identity - cultural loss, retention and creation. She holds a BFA from Toronto Metropolitan University in Theatre Performance Dance.
