Kate Valk

Kate Valk is a founding member of The Wooster Group, a collective of artists who make new work for the theater. Under the direction of Elizabeth LeCompte and with its associates and staff, the Group has created nineteen theater pieces, four dances, three radio plays, five video/film works and produced the first eight monologues of Spalding Gray. Kate Valk began her work with the group in 1979 while she was a student at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

In 2003 she was awarded a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists Award.

David Savran, author of "Breaking the Rules: The Wooster Group", published in 1988, told the New York Times in an article featuring Valk: "She is without peer, I can't think of any other experimental performer who comes close to her."
