Kate Franklin has worked with/for nearly 50 different companies and creators over the past two decades. Working with Company 605 since 2019 has been one of the most fulfilling dance experiences of these past twenty years. She has been based in Vancouver on the unceded Indigenous land belonging to the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations since 2012. She is a passionate dance educator who has just completed her 8th season as Associate Artistic Director of Modus Operandi, where she teaches and mentors a group of exceptional younger dance artists. She creates her own choreographic work from time to time. She is happy to be here, still getting so much out of her dance practice.
