Catherine Ryan has been working as a writer, Dramaturg, director, community Theatre maker, producer and performer for over ten years, for stage, radio and documentary film.

She has a BA in Drama and Sociology from La Trobe University (1993) and a Bachelor of Performing Arts in Animateuring from the Victorian College of the Arts (Hons - 1996). She headed bush in 2000, starting Castlemaine's Barking Owl Theatre with three other artists, and now continues to create professional productions and community generated pieces. Her work has been a finalist in the Patrick White Award (twice), the ANPC New Dramatists Award, and the Perishable Theatre International Women's Playwrighting Competition.
