Here’s what our literary manager has to say of her experience auditing Kim’s class:

 

“Auditing Kim’s RAW TRUTH masterclass several years ago singularly advanced my artistic process in just 2 days. It had a profound impact on how I see myself as a person, as an artist and how I practice both daily. I still refer to the work today and cannot recommend this masterclass highly enough for professional theatre artists.”
Briony Dunn, Literary Manager, Theatre Works
