Paul Bourke

I am a theatre practitioner and fitness/movement coach.

As a theatre teacher, director, and performer I’m focused on an approach that hones a strong synthesis between physical articulation, imagination, and the innate impulse to play.

As a fitness and movement coach, I’m exploring a multi-faceted practice that builds a strong, supple body and cultivates a curious mind and thirst for learning.

In my theatre studies, I have trained at the Helikos International School of Theatre Creation, the Ecole Philippe Gaulier, and the John Bolton Theatre School all of which are based on the movement theatre principles and pedagogic approach of Jaques Lecoq.

I’m also an avid student of traditional martial arts in particular kung fu, Qigong, boxing, and Budo which are an integral and interwoven part of my practice.

I have been a student of Juan Rueda and have been training with the Khora Movement group since 2021.
