From opera to burlesque, Kitty embraces each new project with wit, grace and unique style. Her ability to draw sophisticated, engaging performances from superbly trained dancers, as seen in her opera and concert work, is matched by her sensitive approach to "non" movers. Kitty specializes in developing a creative exchange with performers, which encourages them to blossom and achieve their full movement potential.

This season Kitty choreographed La Rondine (with Patrica Racette) at LA Opera, Symphonie Fantastique at Disney Hall and the world premiere musical Gulls. Recent work ranges from Margaret Cho’s off-Broadway smash “Sensuous Woman” , La Traviata (Renee Fleming and Rolando Villazon) and Don Carlo for LA Opera, the L-Word and Ms. McNamee's debut at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Recently, her choreography has been seen in the Ovation Awards with Neil Patrick Harris, DanceBreak, Sondheim’s 75th at the Hollywood Bowl (Vanessa Williams), Romeo et Juliette (Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazon) at LA Opera, Wave Rising Festival in NY, 365 days/365 plays and industrials for SONY.

Ms. McNamee is the also the artistic director of Hysterica Dance Co., a creative, consistently prolific, and invigorating force in the LA dance community. Recent highlights with Hysterica include The L-Word, Margaret Cho @ El-Cid, Fashion Week/NYC, a commission to create two new works for Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a performance at Disney Hall with the LA Philharmonic and its first commission from Erato Philharmonia.
