Background

About Simon Kane

I am a Coach, Theatre Director and Childline Sessional Supervisor. I also have previous experience in media production, branded content, social media and short films. As a Coach, I have completed the Co-Active Coach Training Program, widely recognised as the most rigorous of its kind. This course is run by the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) and is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am keen to work with clients by helping them to find out what's really important in their lives. I am open to working with people from all walks of life, as well as focuses in working with people to build their confidence and to find purpose, creatives and small business owners. In Theatre, my work covers a wide range, including musicals and plays. I have been involved with the development of new musicals and plays and am also interested in reinvigorating established works for modern day audiences. One of my specialisms is work that gets new audiences into theatres and family productions. I have extensive experience nationally and internationally in the West End, regional and fringe theatres and for major national youth theatre companies/departments. This has included working on Olivier Award winning productions. In Film and Content Production, I trained at leading creative agency BBH and award-winning content makers Somethin' Else. Progressing on from this, I was taken on as an Assistant Producer at Somethin' Else, before going Freelance, initially as Video Producer at The Times and then Film Producer for a series of films for Penguin Random House's Children's Division and Website Producer on The BRIT Awards. I was Locations Manager/Associate Producer on 'To Dover', a short film shortlisted for the Toronto Lift-Off Film Festival.
