Kimberley Rampersad
is the Associate Artistic Director of the Shaw Festival. She is an award-winning director, choreographer, and a highly sought after thought leader.
“Kimberley is, simply put, the best.”
Rampersad has spent 5 seasons at the Shaw Festival appearing in Holiday Inn, The Grand Hotel, and Pygmalion as well as directing the Festival’s most recent production of George Bernard Shaw’s epic Man and Superman with Don Juan in Hell.
She was also the Neil Munro Directing Intern at the Shaw Festival and the 2017 recipient of the Gina Wilkinson Prize.
“The thing that I am really looking forward to is finding works of Shaw’s contemporaries throughout this world,” Rampersad says, when ask what excites her about this new position. “I’m interested in what was being said while Shaw was saying what he was saying. […] I want [the festival’s programming] to look like the world that Shaw was living in; and right now it’s the small corner he was living in, not the world.”
