About Me
What if the questions you're sitting with are already the beginning of something extraordinary?
I'm Saili Katebe, writer, performer, and workshop facilitator.
What drives me: Curiosity. I explore the world through poetry, collaboration, and questions that don't have easy answers.
What I'm looking for:
Commissions — Partners who want to mine for meaning through story
Workshops — Spaces to explore creative thinking together
Collaborations — Projects that follow curiosity across disciplines
How I work: I'm interested in shared exploration. My best projects start with open questions and honest conversations—where we both bring our curiosity and see what we discover together. The blank page becomes a space for possibility, not pressure.
I love the compounding power of exploring alongside others. We learn more, find unexpected connections, and create work neither of us could have imagined alone.
Let's explore something together.

The Work
-
Facilitating
I create workshops where we explore creative thinking together, from poetry and performance to the systems and habits that keep a practice alive. It's less about me sharing what I know, and more about discovering what we each bring to the table.
-
Performance
My performance work includes solo poetry and theatre pieces, cross-disciplinary collaborations with dancers, musicians, filmmakers, and theatre makers, plus a growing catalogue of shows and publications. I work across stages, film, and audio, wherever the work needs to live.
-
Commissions
What stories need to be told? I work on commissions that use poetry to explore ideas that matter, because we're always one story away from creating meaningful change.
