Kim Flintoff

Kim started his tertiary studies in Chemistry, and his working life in analysis and assay for the mining exploration industry ­ a little later he started dabbling in the dark arts of Theatre and Drama and moved into management, performance and production roles in theatre. He was co-founder of Class Act Theatre for schools, and progressed into K-12 education as a Drama teacher. Kim became recognised as a curriculum leader in WA and a global innovator and researcher in the area of Drama and Technology; for a decade he convened a global special interest group for the International Drama Education Association. He was an invited speaker at the inaugural global summit for the World Alliance for Arts Education.

His interest in arts, education and technology brought him to working in universities as a lecturer, unit co-ordinator, curriculum developer, and researcher. After 12 years at Curtin University developing strategic innovative approaches for learning engagement he has returned to the K-12 sector as a senior leader and TIDES Coordinator (Technology Innovation Design Entrepreneurship Sustainability)

Sustainability and futures thinking are now key drivers in his daily work and as father of two young daughters these areas are a very high priority.
