Kim Wright
THEATRE DIRECTOR | MOVEMENT | INTIMACY
I am a theatre maker, specialising in direction, movement, and intimacy. Passionate about reimagining historical works through a contemporary lens, I strive to create dynamic, ensemble-driven theatre that aim to resonate with audiences.
With a love for comedy and rhythm, I bring playful energy to my work, using the beats of humour and movement to enrich the narrative. I am committed to cultivating a safe, respectful environment for staging intimacy, where trust and collaboration thrive.
Whether crafting choreography or shaping moments of vulnerability, I focus on practices that honour authenticity, connection, and creativity.
My collaborative approach, supported by strong organisational skills and adaptability in complex production environments, fosters a creative process that prioritises consent, confidence, and creativity.
My work spans both professional and community casts, aiming for high-quality productions that offer an exceptional theatrical experience. My interests range from devised pieces to classic revivals, driven by an exploration of layered human behaviour through playful, movement-based storytelling.
With a broad background in dance and movement, I value individual and ensemble expression, blending style with freedom. I thrive in collaborative, compassionate settings that nurture experimentation and creativity.
In addition to my stage work, I’m excited to bring my skills to screen, exploring opportunities to translate physical storytelling and nuanced performance into the world of film and television.
Open to new projects, I’m interested in collaborative opportunities in the UK and internationally.
ASM & Arts Management
Alongside my expertise in directing, movement directing, and intimacy direction, I bring a broad range of skills to the world of stage management and arts administration. Working as an Assistant Stage Manager, I have gained significant experience supporting rehearsals, working closely with Deputy Stage Managers , and attending production meetings, especially within touring productions where logistics and adaptability are crucial.
In addition to my core responsibilities, I have managed rehearsals in the absence of the DSM, ensuring that the rehearsal process continues to run smoothly and efficiently. This has involved proactive communication with the cast and creative team, organizing schedules, and addressing any challenges that arise in real-time.
My skill set extends beyond the rehearsal room:
- Enhanced DBS: Committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism in all settings.
- Full Driving License: Offering flexibility and the ability to manage transportation for tours and productions.
- Qualified First Aider & Mental Health First Aider: Prepared to provide immediate support for physical and mental health concerns on and off stage.
- Licensed Chaperone: Experienced in working with young performers, ensuring their safety and well-being in compliance with all regulations.
I bring a diverse set of skills to every project, supporting not just the creative elements but also the operational and logistical needs that make a production successful.
“Kim is an industrious and ebullient director who creates the perfect balance of
a warm, safe and supportive rehearsal environment.“
