Kiki Kendrick – Writer/producer

Kiki was a Copywriter and Art Director in advertising for 20 years, working at two of the best agencies in London: Bartle Bogle Hegarty and Abbott Mead Vickers. She was also an Associate Creative Director in New York's hottest shop Kirsehenbuam and Bond for two years. She became a consultant for the Body Shop after her outspoken views on women's issues (way before it was fashionable to do so) and her OBSESSION FOR WOMEN tour caught their attention. With Host Universal, she created and produced the Body Shop's FULL VOICE magazine, inspiring women all over the world to "Love Your Body". She helped launch the 5065 Lift in Edinburgh ­ then she helped produce the shows that went onto perform at Soho Theatre - which is how Liberated Theatre was born. Liberated Theatre at Soho Theatre got great reviews - the Time Out review is on the home page.
