Kat Ibasco

Kat Ibasco (she/her) is a Chinese-Filipino stage and film designer based in New York. She is interested in the complexity of dress as an art form in itself throughout history, and as a language to express identity.

Having travelled all her life, Kat enjoys bringing her lived cultural experiences into the spaces she works in. She aims to create inventive yet organic work that reveal truths and shape conversations about what it means to be human. In production, Kat prioritizes text and the intent within its storytelling, as well as the collaborative experience.
