Kate/KP is a strange and lovable goof. She found From The Ground UP in 2019 and never left. In 2019 and 2021 she was an artist in residence as well as the Artistic Development Intern in 2020. KP is so thankful to have a creative container after graduating college that creates invaluable storytelling and performance opportunities with minimal barriers of entry, a revolutionary and rare practice. KP uses a variety of styles of comedy, poetry, song, movement, the body, and whatever else she can find, with the intention of creating work that inspires connection and liberation. She wants to thank Katherine and everyone who makes From the Ground UP possible; the transformative effects on the artists that emerge from this organization can not be overstated. She wants to thank her awe-inspiring mom, her brother Andy and her beloved community of roommates, friends, artists, comrades, and all those who have given and still give so much to creating a safer and freer world.
