*Sparkles* Kat Lathrop Performance Art

I picked up my first hoop in 2013. Since that magical day I have pursued my passion for movement meditation through any flow props I could get my hands on (poi, levi-wand, fans, double staff) and I also pursued juggling practice. (hoops, balls, and contact juggling) ‘Flow arts’ is my prime choice when it comes to self expression, but I am also passionate about any and all art. I love to wire wrap jewelry, paint, draw, write poetry, sing, and play music on guitar and flute.

After 2 years of following my hoopy passions, I decided that I was destined to spread hoop love every where. I started making hoops, and teaching lessons to people of all ages in my area. I performed at my Junior and Senior talent shows and took home the 1st place trophy! In 2015 I taught my first festival workshop at The Werkout (OH). As my confidence grew, -thanks to radical self expression- I began street performing and discovered another passion for improvisation and engaging audiences.

I love to interact with people. I put on my first clown nose in 2014, and have been clowning around ever since! Spontaneous cosmic moments of connection are critical to the shaping of our character. I have been developing my clown act and my special sparkly self for 2 years. It has always been my dream to runaway with the circus, and I am making my dreams come true through movement medicine and the flow community!!

I have performed at birthday parties and private events as a clown/hoop dancer, and as a fire performer at Rebel Road Biker Gathering (MI), Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival, and Grand haven 4th of July fireworks celebration (MI), 3 Days of light Gathering (NC), and Actual Eyes (TN). Performing is my passion- the biggest piece of my heART. <3
