For the very first full episode of The Empowered Series, Ryan is sitting down with Kim Shively. Kim shares her journey to discovering her ultimate mountaintop experience as a teacher and helps us understand how important it is to consciously recognize our creative rituals so that we can use them intentionally and to their fullest.
Kim Shively is a daughter, a wife, a mother and teacher. She’s had a career in theatre, television, voice-over and commercials, as well as being a teaching artist, a writer and an intimacy educator. Kim’s version of the mountain top experience often happens in black box acting studios while working with young creatives or learning more about the Poly-vagal Nervous system. She has written a number of articles, a book chapter, and has recently co-authored a book to be published this Spring by Routledge. She’s the descendant of farmers and physicians and preachers from central Kentucky and the mother of two wild boys, whom she is raising with her husband and her mother in North Carolina.
Kim is the Co-Author of the soon to be released book, Applied Meisner for the 21st-Century Actor, which can be pre-ordered now!
