Kymberly Harris is a multi-talented artist who seamlessly moves between the filmmaking, theater, and acting worlds. With a keen eye for complex character studies and a deep exploration of human relationships, her work resonates profoundly with audiences.
At the core of Kymberly’s creative vision is a profound interest in how one’s families and societal influences shape them and how these formative experiences impact one’s ability to forge meaningful connections with others. Regardless of the genre or scope of her stories, this fundamental thread of human psychology and interpersonal dynamics remains a constant.
Kymberly’s films delve into layered characters, family dynamics, youth and healing, mental health, social justice, and criminal psychology. Her directorial work, such as “Rose’s Turn” (Cannes), “FAITH” starring Britt Lower and Jess Gabor (Best Short at NYCIFF), “Now and Never” (Rising Star Award at CineGear Expo LA), and “I HEARD SARAH” (Robert Rodriguez Best Indie Auteur Award at Bare Bones International Music and Film Festival), distributed by Good Deed Entertainment, exemplify her ability to craft compelling narratives that resonate on a profoundly personal level.
As an acting coach, Kymberly has worked with diverse talents, guiding them through pivotal roles in acclaimed television shows and films. Her coaching has graced the sets of “The Blacklist,” “Inventing Anna,” “Animal Kingdom,” “Dear White People,” “Mom,” “Shameless,” “Clean Slate,” “How to Get Away With Murder,” “Get Christie Love,” and “Outcome,” as well as films like “Promising Young Woman,” “Jolt,” “Uglies,” “The Row,” “Bad Hair,” “Survive the Night,” and “Over/Under.”
Kymberly’s theatrical endeavors further showcase her versatility and commitment to exploring the human condition. As a director, she has helmed the West Coast premiere of “THE EFFECT” by Lucy Prebble at the Marilyn Monroe Theatre in West Hollywood. Her directorial efforts in New York City and Los Angeles, including collaborations with Rogue Machine, Theatre for the New City, and PRT, have garnered critical acclaim.
Kymberly’s great passion as a director is working with actors and bringing out their most connected, personal and empowered work. As the award-winning director/writer of the short films “Rose’s Turn,” “FAITH,” “Now and Never,” and the feature film “I Heard Sarah,” she has honed her ability to collaborate with performers and help them tap into the core of their characters.
Her acting classes are designed with this ethos in mind—to empower actors, deepen their craft, inspire their gifts, and help them overcome specific obstacles. For those who have previously worked with Kymberly, this new class offers fresh perspectives and approaches to elevating their artistry further.
Kymberly firmly believes in fostering a creative community within her workshops, recognizing the power of collaboration and shared growth. In several of her past classes, professional opportunities have organically emerged from the communal environment she cultivates.
She is always open to welcoming new actors who resonate with her vision and are eager to join a supportive, nurturing space that champions their talent and personal connection to their work. Kymberly’s classes are a haven for artists to explore, take risks, and ultimately unlock their full potential as performers.
Whether you are an experienced actor seeking to reinvigorate your practice or an emerging talent ready to be empowered, Kymberly extends a warm invitation to participate in this transformative creative journey.
She’s a published and produced playwright, with several of her plays staged in New York City venues such as Cherry Lane, la mamma, and the Harold Clurman Theatre. Her play “FAITH” holds the distinction of being the only drama featured in the new anthology “Proofread or Die!,” which celebrates the works of colleagues and friends of the late David Foster Wallace. Kymberly has also assisted renowned filmmakers like James Ponsoldt and Jason Segel on the film “The End of the Tour.”
Kymberly’s acting credits are equally impressive, including originating the role of Holly in Eric Simonson’s “BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY” opposite Tracy Letts and participating in the workshop of Terrence McNally’s “IT’S ONLY A PLAY” alongside Thomas Sadoski, Josh Radnor, and Lisa Kudrow.
With an unwavering commitment to her craft and a deep understanding of the human condition, Kymberly Harris continues to push the boundaries of storytelling. Her work explores the complexities of relationships and the intricate interplay between individuals and their environments. It serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of art and its ability to foster empathy, understanding, and personal growth.
