Kate explores selfhood and the art of shaping personal experience into a story. How do we uncover the universal within the deeply specific? How do we balance intimate reflection with humour, charm, and lightness? Drawing on childhood memories and the small rhythms of everyday life, Kate examine ways to craft narratives that resonate with audiences. She also offers insights into how meaning and connection can be cultivated through performance and spoken word.
This masterclass was recorded with a live online audience in December 2025.
