2016 Graduate

Kate Rutherford

Kate was born in Sydney and raised in rural Victoria and the Southern Highlands. She spent her childhood dressing up and performing for guests while living in a Farmstay Homestead. Before ACA Kate undertook a Diploma of Arts (Acting) at Sydney Theatre School, modeled and traveled Europe. Kate has relished playing characters such as ‘Anna’ in The Government Inspector directed by George Ogilvie, ‘Helena’ in A Midsummer Night’s Dream directed by Adam Cook, ‘Blanche’ in A Streetcar Named Desire directed by Gale Edwards and ‘Amanda’ in Private Lives directed by Anna McGrath. Kate was inspired by Jennifer West in voice classes for an appreciation and love of heightened language. Upon graduating she is eager to collaborate in the industries of theatre, film, and television and thrilled to have already been cast in The Women for Sydney Fringe Festival showing in September.
