Kimberley Petire
She/Her
4th Year Drama and Production Student​
Hi, my name is Kimberley Petrie. I'm 43 years old and when I started here at UHI, my aim was to do the NC to get some drama experience before starting my musical theatre associate at the dance school I attend, as I thought that I really wanted to teach. Now, I am in 4th year and while I would still love to teach I have also found other passions that I didn't know I had. Over the years I have had a rounded education learning about not just performance and acting techniques but writing, directing, theatre tech, applied and entrepreneurship. This Swansong performance will hopefully include some of my passions - devising as I have formed this myself, writing, live performance and most of all comedy. Looking back my love for making people laugh has always been present but I have never used it as a basis of a solo work, so it makes sense to make it central to my Swansong performance.

Hunter Martin
They/Them
4th Year Drama and Production Student
Hi, my name is Hunter Martin. I'm 22 years old and I like to mix mediums and create a lot of my own costume, props and sound. I love horror, dystopian and fantasy media. I like to use a mix of personal experience and fictional stories to create representation for underrepresented people and assisting others in using their voices within a creative manner with pieces linked to and outside of the genres I have listed above. My favourite pieces of performance to make are on stage, but I'm working with using digital and audio storytelling and would like to do more of that in the future.
