Kirsty Purnell

STEP Practitioner

Kirsty is a freelance dance artist exploring how we move and how to move with others in playful, inclusive environments. She is particularly interested in how movement can be used to create, communicate and collaborate in the spirit of collective joy.

She regularly leads projects for Rambert and Sadler’s Wells Learning and Engagement Programme with sharings at Sadler’s Wells Theatre and The Yard Theatre, Hackney Wick. She has also worked for Hackney Children’s Theatre, SLiDE, Trinity Laban and run workshops for F.A.T Studio and London College of Communication. Initially studying English Literature and Philosophy at Glasgow University and then completing her PGCE, she went on to receive a scholarship to study Community Dance at Laban.
