Mad Kate

I'm a dancer writer singer performance artist aka living in Berlin. Together with my partner Juan we own the clothing/design store and performance space, EXIT www.exitberlin.com. "There will never be enough time to explore all the different women I would like to be. But in each of these personas I inhabit, I find that the through line has been my intellectual and artistic interest in the politics of borders--both between bodies and within bodies. This pursuit has manifested itself in many forms--whether it be interviewing women who live in rural farming cooperatives in Nicaragua and Haiti; advocacy of immigrants and political asylum seekers in the Bay Area; teaching creative writing inside the San Francisco Women's Jail; sex / work / performance /art and erotic dance; critical and creative writing; or diving off the stage into a crowd of rowdy punks."
