Catt Filippov

 Catt Filippov is a Russian-Canadian artist & multi-hyphenate based in Brooklyn, NY—making work that oysters poetry from the pedestrian and conjures the monstrous from the mundane. Some of her writing lives on New Play Exchange. Her alter-ego, Uncle Cousin—clown, emissary, sometime prophet—appears across NYC, if you know where to look.

Catt has trained in traditional and experimental forms across North America, including the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto (BA, Theatre), Canada's National Voice Intensive, the Guild of Embodied Practitioners, Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre, Lucid Body House, Columbia University (MFA, Playwriting), and the Brooklyn Comedy Collective.

On film, she has appeared in several shorts and features, including promotional work for Troma Entertainment Inc. Her stage and performance collaborations include Nightwood Theatre, Toronto Fringe Festival, Alumnae Theatre, 938 Collective, the HIVE at Westmont College, Elif Collective, Miet Warlop @ NYU Skirball, the Working Theater, the Workshop Theater, Paper Kraine, Exponential Festival, NYC Fringe Festival, Most Unwanted Productions, and Mind Dream Theater.

Catt is the creator and producer of Acid Test Toronto and Acid Test Toronto II—immersive celebrations of borrowed nostalgia for the day-glo supernova of Ken Kesey, the Merry Pranksters, and the American hippie movement.

She is currently rewriting Ahab's Last Fable, a new one-act play commissioned by More Theater/SB and directed by Ford Sachsenmaier—the third installment in their Whalers' Triptych series—premiering August 2025.

Catt is grateful to be part of The Six, and thrilled to work with Egor Trukhin and this marvelous ensemble of makers.
