Kim Wildborne
Rope
Kim is an aerialist with twelve years experience, the Director of RoguePlay Theatre, West Midlands Circus Centre, Producer of TILT Festival and devoted Mum of two. Kim’s journey through aerial has always been driven by understanding what the body is capable of in the air, investigating theatrical content in vertical space, and training her socks off. She is known for her strong dynamic technique on the most romantic of the aerial apparatus; silk, and her dynamic content on rope.
Kim has been teaching and performing for many years across UK and Europe, learning many of the common problems and developing a huge series of exercises to help overcome them. Her teaching practice focuses on creative sequencing and building stronger, more efficient bodies without injury. She is dedicated to sharing that practice and helping others learn.
