Kat O'Connor(III)

Kat O'Connor is a Midwest native, but born with an Irish passion that was a bit too big for a small town. A collaborative performer who is equal to the challenge of co-creating a story, she brings her own talent and experience and blends it with your directorial vision. She has been featured in a number of independent films, including The Dog (Featurepoint Cinema), Schizo Cool (Schizcago Pictures), and 16th Street (2008) (Studio 22). Hatboxes (2012) (Fernworks Productions), her most recent film, is already winning awards on the film festival circuit. She is a company member of Terra Mysterium Performance Troupe, and has performed with them both musically and theatrically at the Chicago Fringe Festival, in music videos, and at a variety of community festivals. In her spare time she practices aerial circus arts, photography, and writes fiction. A graduate of Drew University, she is a natural storyteller, with words or, just as often, without. Her personal mission is to tell the story, and thus change the world, one heart at a time.
