Cat Weatherill

REPERTOIRE:
The following listings represent major pieces within Cat’s current performance repertoire. Cat Weatherill also has a wide ranging repertoire for both children and adults, for performances and work in educational and community contexts and for site specific work. Cat's repertoire is ever expanding; she is available for commissions and can develop material for specific projects if required.

Solo performances:
Ghost, chilling tales for haunted hours.
Falling Like Feathers Fairy tales from Old Europe, chosen for adult listeners. Dark and sexy.
Kissing the Wind, medieval love tales by Marie de France. Romantic, cinematic and elegantly saucy.
Bawdy Stories, drawn from the well-thumbed pages of classic literature: Boccaccio, Basile, 1001 Nights and more.

Collaborations:
Queen of the Planets, a beguiling Irish tale, created with Daniel Morden, layers stories within stories ‘...until the listener is perfectly bewitched and yet never loses the thread’ (The Times).
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a playful family show featuring Rob Soldat as the eponymous villain.
Pebbles and Pennies, in which Cat joins acclaimed acoustic duo Emma and the Professor for a rollercoaster ride through traditional European tales with music and song. Emma and the Professor are Emma Heath (guitar and vocals) and Mark Davies (bodhran and cajon).
The Tale of Tom Fortune and the Mighty Bellowhead, a family show combining one boy’s adventure with the songs of Bellowhead, the award winning 10-piece folk band.
Blood, Sweat and Teabags a collaboration with storyteller Katrice Horsley, blending personal and traditional stories on the theme of the emotional resilience of women as they journey through life.

PUBLICATIONS:
Cat Weatherill has written three children’s novels, all published by Puffin: Barkbelly, Snowbone and Wild Magic. All three have been shortlisted for book awards and translated into foreign editions. Wild Magic is also available as a BBC audiobook, read by Cat.
