BACKGROUND

Kate Ellis is an Acting Coach, Writer, and a Drama Education Innovator. She also facilitates conversations for the City of (her beloved) Melbourne/ Naarm.

Guiding her work is the principle that great pleasure can be extracted from detail. That sensory rapture can be cultivated in the everyday. That deeper levels of intimacy with self, other and environment can be achieved through the art of listening and play.

She also works with people in corporate sectors and academia who are wanting to express themselves more fully. Kate believes in this regard that emotions are a treasure trove of information as much as a wonderful tool for communication.
