Catherine Thompson is a Canadian composer, vocalist, musician, visual
artist and instrument maker. She has composed and created with numerous
notable Canadian choreographers including Kate Alton, Louise Bédard,
Susanna Hood, Sasha Ivanochko, Susan Lee, Elena Mamais, Fred Marier,
Naoko Murakoshi, Tedd Robinson, Julia Sasso, Heidi Strauss, Darryl
Tracy and Eryn Dace Trudell.
Catherine performs as a vocalist, plays guitar and other fretted instruments, viola, percussion, various flutes and several self-created instruments. These instruments are a major focus in her current project, The Skuld Project; an exploration of and search for a deep and sure connection with the natural world through the motivations and perceptions of the mythical transformation character/being Skuld. Of mythic imagining and re-vision-ing, The Skuld Project is the search and struggle to find the state where all life spoke as one, when all were as one; the resistance of the destruction of the wild.

Recent activities (2009) include continuing Skuld project, residencies & performances at The Banff Centre in Banff Alberta, working with Terri Hron on the creation of the full length production of 'Pidgoyomon' through their newly created company, Egg of Sand Productions. (www.eggofsand.org). The first presentation of Pidgoyomon was presented at The Banff Centre in March 2009.
Catherine re-entered the film world working in sound design & music composition (shared credit with primary composer Ian Tamblyn) in director/writer/producer Armand Ruffo's feature length film, A Windigo Tale (2009)
