Kate Weare is an American choreographer known for her startling combination of formal choreographic value and visceral, emotional interpretation. Weare charts a contemporary view of humanism by placing women at the center of the human story amidst the violence, sensuality, and yearning for intimacy that marks our age. Her work explores undercurrents in relationships, both tender and stark, by drawing on our most basic urges to move and decode movement. 

Founding Kate Weare Company in NYC in 2005, Weare has garnered awards and commissions from The Guggenheim Foundation, Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Joyce Theater, American Dance Festival, Jacob’s Pillow, Princess Grace Fellowship, White Bird’s Barney Prize, CalArts Inaugural Evelyn Sharp Award, MANCC Fellowship, Aninstantia Fellowship, and Djerassi Fellowship, among many others. Weare has toured her work extensively as well as creating commissioned works for companies around the world like The Limón Company, Scottish Dance Theatre, Union Tanguera, and Cincinnati Ballet. 

Kate Weare Company 

Since its inception in 2005, Kate Weare Company has toured extensively throughout the United States to a wide range of audiences, gathering experiences and insights to help shape our process and priorities. Our mission includes creating live dance and dance film from a feeling of authenticity, a desire to explore across borders and mediums, a commitment to collaborating as a means to grow, and a belief that dance can be aesthetically uncompromising, communicative, and inclusive all at once. Form is meaning, but emotional content is how we connect it all.

Since 2020, Weare has been exploring dance on film with collaborators Jack Flame Sorokin and Brit Worgan. Weare and Sorokin have completed five films, Landfall, Moth, Risa, Julian, and Kia, and are in production with several more. Worgan and Weare are in production on their first film, New Home. Landfall and Moth have screened in 37 festivals, across 10 countries, winning 9 awards.
