Performance of A Lifetime

Description

Cathy began her career as an upstart and risk-taker at the age of 13, when she dropped out of eighth grade and along with some friends and their more open-minded parents started an alternative school in an abandoned storefront in New York City. This innovative endeavor led to Random House's publication of their book, Starting Your Own High School. Cathy has spent her life as an onstage performer as well as an educational pioneer and social entrepreneur, launching innovative businesses and organizations designed as centers for change, learning and growth. Throughout the 80s and early 90s she was an instrumental force in creating several youth development programs that used performance and theater as key pedagogical tools including an award-winning anti-violence program for inner-city children, the first "Vygotskian" elementary school in North America, and an innovative pregnancy prevention program for at-risk teens. In the mid-1990s, she put her performing talent, her passion for creating cutting-edge, developmental learning environments, and her entrepreneurial ability to work in creating Performance of a Lifetime. As one of Performance of a Lifetime's lead designers, trainers, and coaches, Cathy has developed hundreds of innovative experiential programs for a global portfolio of clients. She relates to all teams and organizations as theatrical ensembles which have the capacity to create new, varied, and collaborative performances both with one another and with their clients. Her most recent work includes a group coaching program for executive women in professional services, and a global leadership development initiative for the "top 50" at a leading technology firm. An accomplished singer, actress, director, and improvisational comic, Cathy can still be heard (if you search high and low, that is) on pop, R&B, and jazz recordings, and seen (much more easily) onstage in New York City in the Castillo Theatre's long-running improv comedy show, This is Your Ridiculous Life .
