She’s collected many friends, poems, stories, photographs and dance moves along the way.
Home is currently Shoreham-by-sea, just along the coast from Brighton where she first started performing poems more than 15 years ago (while studying Anthropology and Spanish!).
Katrina’s work has a strong sense of rhythm, shared with energy, passion and sensitivity. She writes often about belonging, spirituality and connection, inspired by true life stories.
Her debut show, Individual Medley, completed a run at Edinburgh Fringe in 2018 and returned to Brighton Fringe (and beyond) for a second award-nominated run in 2019.
Katrina hosts a new monthly night, Kollab, in Shoreham.
“It’s exciting to watch someone whose poetry has such muscle power and who can communicate a strong personal presence. A poet no one is going to mess with, in other words”
Heathcote Williams
“You have a truly unique voice, and you navigate the subject with intelligence, creativity and beauty. There’s a delightfully whimsical quality to the poem that is nevertheless incredibly powerful, building to a genuinely emotional crescendo in the last stanza.”
