Kira Nutter is a Chicago-based fight/intimacy director, actor, playwright, as well as a proud member of Northwestern University’s 2021 graduating class (B.S. in Theatre, Concentration in Playwriting). Their work often revolves around self-created sentiment – "The universe was created by collisions; together we can create worlds" – and what better way to honor that power of collision and creation than through pen to page, actor to stage, blade to blade, and love broken or made? Recently, Kira developed a new live-action comic-book form that marries traditional hand drawn storytelling with cinematic adaptation, as premiered in their independent project "Night of Fights: Comic Book Edition" (@night.of.fights on IG) and featured at GenCon 2021. Other interests include: lyra! You can usually catch them hanging from the rafters as they learn to fly…and fall…and probably fall again…on this circus staple and more.

Members of the Society of American Fight Directors will reveal how they help tell compelling stories on stage.
