Kimberlee Walker

Founding Member

Kimberlee Walker is a social worker, actor, and Applied Theatre facilitator. After graduating from the University of Waterloo’s Peace and Conflict Studies program with a Drama minor, Kimberlee became a founding member of Theatre of the Beat in 2011 and has been involved in the company in some way ever since. She performed in nearly all of the company’s major touring productions; selected credits include the roles of Sue Steiner in Gadfly, Robyn in Forgiven/Forgotten, and Alex in This Will Lead to Dancing. After receiving a Master’s of Social Work degree from Wilfrid Laurier University, Kimberlee developed TOTB’s “Restorative Justice Theatre Program” at Grand Valley Institution for Women. This program marks the first time that a professional theatre company has collaborated with federally incarcerated women in Canada, and has been the subject of a recent academic publication. Kimberlee is passionate about using the arts as a tool for personal and social change, and is thankful to have many opportunities to do so. In addition to her theatrical pursuits with TOTB, Kimberlee has held a number of social work positions and now works as a therapist at Transformation Counselling. In her spare time, Kimberlee enjoys training on the aerial hoop and eating rainbow sherbet.
