Interview — Kingston Theatre Alliance

I feel very fortunate to have gotten to know Kim during my time studying at Queen’s University. I would like to share some of the memories that I have of her—not because I think my relationship with her was unique or special in any way, but exactly the opposite. The way she touched my life is so similar to how she touched the lives of many other students at Queen’s.

ane Kirby had recently graduated with a Masters in International Development when she was beginning to feel burnt out from working in non-profits and social justice organizations. At first, circus was a fun escape—but now, she reflects upon how her background in activism bleeds into her work as a circus artist.
