Background

About Kurt Beardsley

I am an Artistic Creative person seeking meaningful engagement with inspired individuals and organizations. I started working in theater production when I was twelve, and have continued in the theater and concert industry for the last 43 years. I love the creative process that gets the event to the moment it becomes a shared reality for everyone involved. I excel in ambiguous situations preferably working in a multi-cultural setting using my expertise to create and deliver unexpected, meaningful outcomes. I love humanity and its many faces. I love learning about culture and art and embracing the many different approaches to sharing creativity in a manner that its meaningful and engaging. I have been fortunate in my career as a production manager to work with a great many beautiful minds from all over the world, in virtually every aspect of the arts. The conversations, the curiosity, the widening of one’s own understanding of humanity, the beauty to be found in the collaborative creative process, those are the encounters that I cherish, and the environment in which I thrive. At this stage in my life and career, it is those moments, and the knowledge I have gained through them, that I am looking to connect with people and organizations who appreciate the significance of creating any and all forms of art that matter. Art that is used to bridge cultural gaps, that takes on a holistic approach to making communities stronger by enriching lives through the shared sense of wonder of the world at large. I am a creative and flexible thinker that values the importance of a good sense of humor, able to handle complex situations on difficult timelines, remains calm under pressure, and brings a unique cultural sensitivity to all my endeavors. Fierce in my beliefs of treating all human-beings with respect and dignity, you will find that if you share a similar ethos, there will be countless things to collaborate and succeed on together.
