KATE MARLAIS

Having started her performance career as a singer in classical choirs, Kate knows that there is nothing quite like the joy of group singing, from both sides of the conductor's chair.

​

She is an experienced Vocal Director, leading various choirs and choruses of all levels, notably CHORUS OF OTHERS in Lyric Hammersmith's production of Frantic Assembly's FATHERLAND, for which the community chorus was initially created. Kate most recently led and conducted the Chorus Of Others' rousing finale at Frantic Assembly's 25th Anniversary take-over on National Theatre's River Stage. See footage HERE.

​

Kate taught Acting Through Song and Singing Technique at LAMDA, and frequently works as Musical Director/Musical Arranger on various LAMDA productions, including Earthquakes In London, The Last Days Of Judas Iscariot, Heresy Of Love and Emilia.

 

Kate is also a Masterclass and Workshop Leader. She has led workshops in Songwriting, Composing For Musical Theatre, and Developing Your Creative Practise across the UK at various arts institutions, including for City Academy London, Mercury Musical Developments, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Wolverhampton University Faculty of Arts & Cumbria University.
 

In 2019, alongside Georgia Stitt, US musical theatre composer and founder of MAESTRA, Kate led a masterclass for female composers writing for musical theatre, facilitated by Mercury Musical Developments, in affiliation with Kate's UK platform for female composers MODULATE .
