Kimberly Loren Eaton

Director

A generative artist, raised in the most diverse area of a city of immigrants and billionaires, hipsters and hip hop, homeless and gentrifiers, Kimberly focuses on directing and developing new theatrical work with an intersectional lens. This director believes every choice we make as storytelling artists matters; that art and advocacy are inseparable, as worldview and voice drive both. Kimberly’s creative aesthetic and directing projects reflect a passion for bringing marginalized voices and lenses into the mainstream. Drawn to stories relevant to major issues in the zeitgeist which move social and cultural conversations forward and inspire empathy and a sense of shared humanity, Kimberly aims to create safe and inclusive spaces, and dramaturgically sound, text driven work, which aesthetically is highly theatrical, whimsical, and uses clear, athletic movement.
