Playwriter/director/theatre maker

HEEJIN KIM

Born in Hyehwa-dong, Seoul, South Korea. I write, direct, perform and make movement. I’m interested in absurdity and physicality in theatre and international collaboration with multi-cultural, multi-language diversity. I also love to combine physical-based workshops with texts.
