KIM WRIGHT
Theatre Director | Movement & Intimacy
Teaching
My teaching and facilitation practice is rooted in the same embodied, collaborative and exploratory approach that informs my directing. I have extensive experience working across secondary, further and higher education, as well as with youth and professional arts organisations, supporting performers and emerging artists to develop physical, imaginative and collaborative approaches to theatre.
Alongside teaching, I founded and ran JK Theatre Arts, a youth theatre company, giving young people sustained opportunities to develop their skills through drama, physical theatre and dance. This experience has shaped my belief in creating spaces where people can take creative risks, develop confidence and discover their own artistic voice.
