Catrin Dowd

Catrin Dowd is a musician and visiting researcher and collaborator for Season 6 of The Centre for the Less Good Idea.

Currently working towards her PhD at the University of Chicago, Dowd is interested in the history of music, theatre and performance, as well as the use of performance as research. During her time with The Centre for the Less Good Idea, Dowd is exploring the possibilities of performing city spaces.

Season 6 sees Dowd both researching and participating in the various iterations of performance over The Centre’s workshopping period. She will also be lending her skills as a double-bassist to the Season’s work.
