Cathy Livermore New Zealand
International Artist

Cathy is of Waitaha, Kati Mamoe, Kai Tahu, English, Irish and Scandanavien descent. As an artist, educator, activist and healer Cathy has enjoyed the past 20 years performing, choreographing and teaching around the southern and northern hemisphere beginning in Australia and now residing in Aotearoa NZ. Her artistic practices are currently focussed in intercultural spaces of collaboration and experimenting with new media technologies. Weaving her passions for performance, Te Ao Maori, healing traditions and education Cathy is developing diverse platforms for expressing and sharing ranging from professional performance projects, community arts projects, educational training and curriculum development in tertiary performing arts and workshop facilitation.
My passion for dance reaches from within my own dance practice into my choreographic expression and out into my community where I enjoy being involved in teaching and facilitating dance as an element of health and wellbeing personally and within a community context. My journey through dance has shown me the gifts and potential of dance to weave within and around all elements of life bringing empowered presence to self, sculpting the dynamics of our relationships to all things while simultaneously giving breath to the joyful freedom of dreaming creative possibility.
