Kat Lyons – Writer & Performer

ABOUT KAT: Kat is a Queer Bristol-based writer, performer, workshop facilitator and creative producer whose work is grounded in everyday politics and a love of storytelling. They perform throughout the UK, were nominated for the 2022 Jerwood Poetry in Performance Award and their collaborative animated poetry film Duvet Days was selected as part of the official program at ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival 2021.

Kat is currently touring their debut solo show Dry Season, a spoken word theatre show exploring gender, age and menopause. Their debut poetry collection is available now from Verve Poetry Press.

Kat is passionate about using the power of stories to re/connect people to themselves, each other and their environment.

Kat is a brilliant and charismatic performer. Their control of movement and voice gives their work a physicality combined with a subtlety unusual in spoken word. Their writing is sharp, lyrical, well-observed and economical.

Laureate's Choice poet, poet in residence at Lyra: Bristol Poetry Festival

We booked Kat for a spoken word show at a community event in Tamworth. Kat kept the audience enthralled and entertained. I'd recommend them for any event. An absolute professional and an excellent, honest and brilliant performer.

Workshop

Workshop: Reconnecting with the Body

Bodies – especially women’s bodies- can be politicised, sexualised and medicalised, and are often a site of conflict and discontent. During this online workshop participants will creatively explore their own experiences and relationship to their body, and nurture positivity and reconnection.
