Kate Flatt

Movement Coach

Kate Flatt is a movement director, choreographer, and director. Her work with the Opera Studio singers aims to raise bodily awareness, release tension, and develop theatre movement and dance skills for rehearsals and performance. Her one-to-one coaching explores, in collaboration with the singer, the physicality of an aria towards creating a portrait that reflects the character traits, thoughts and content of the aria.

UK productions include Turandot, Aida, William Tell (ROH); Gloriana, Peter Grimes (Opera North) The Carmelites, Verdi’s Requiem, Carmen (ENO); Onegin, Bartered Bride, Don Giovanni (WNO); Marriage of Figaro, Garsington and RCM; Cunning Little Vixen, Magic Flute.
