About

Tori Kibblewhite is a performer, producer, playwright, and multi-disciplinary artist based in Amiskwaciywâskahikan, colonially know as Edmonton. She will be graduating with a BFA in Acting from the University of Alberta this spring. She was recently awarded the Tom & Judy Peacocke Award, which recognized her achievement in and outside the BFA program, her passion for acting, a strong independent work ethic, discipline, integrity and a collaborative approach on and off stage. 

She currently serves as Artistic Producer of Dog Bite Theatre Collective, an independent theatre company, which she co-founded with Mika Boutin in 2023. Since then, they have produced several projects such as Your Heart is Gushing Lavender, Televangelists and What falls out of our brains and into the pockets of strangers; a dance show.

Physical theatre is a major part of her artistic practice, loving dance and physical theatre. She has a strong basis in physical comedy and has trained with Frantic Assembly in the UK, Fraser Hooper and Mike Kenard (of Mump and Smoot). With Liam Sievwright, she makes up ½ of the physical comedy and clown duo Wringy and Munt. They are currently developing a full-length show. 

As a playwright, they have had their work featured in University of Alberta’s New Works, NextFest and Workshop West’s Springboards Festival (where they won the Edmon’ten’ playwriting competition in 2023). Additionally, an untitled screenplay of hers is in post-production, directed by Francis Damberger.
