HELLO
I’m Katy Schutte. I probably met you in a workshop or at a show somewhere. I’m a writer, improviser, performer and teaching artist with a special interest in folklore, neo-paganism and nature.
The Ice at the End of the World
NEWS
Right now I’m a week into rehearsals for my play The Ice at the End of the World. I was an artist in residence on a boat in the Arctic Circle in 2022 where this project was conceived. I spent the last year or two writing and now the show is taking shape ready for a run from 25th September to 12th October at the Omnibus Theatre in London. It’s a cosmic horror with a cast of four (including me) and you can get tickets here.
The Winchesters at Karlsruhe Improv Festival
Before I list festival and class dates, I just want to do a shout-out for the improv festivals in Lisbon and Karlsruhe where I was part of the Main Cast recently. I’m extremely grateful to be able to do the kind of work that pushes and celebrates long form improvisation!

IMPROV AND WRITING CLASSES
I had a super great time being resident artist at Treadwell’s bookshop over the last couple of months. I ran an Improvisation with Folklore class with a mix of pagans, improvisers, folklorists and others which went super well and Treadwell’s have asked me to repeat the class as it was sold out:
@ Arvon, Shropshire 2-7 December 2024
I’m really excited to be teaching at the UK’s dedicated writers’ retreat Arvon for a week this winter. I’ve been a punter there several times and it’s really helped my writing practice. I’m joining forces with the excellent Chris Thorpe - and special guest Rachel Mars - to explore different approaches and methods. We’ll be working with improvisation for performance while staying in the beautiful surroundings of the Hurst in Shropshire.
Thanks for reading. Come see my play!
Thanks for reading to the end!
