Kevin Knebel

I am a stage manager, rock climber, and world traveler who thrives at the intersection of creativity, leadership, and collaboration. My journey has taken me from international youth programs that build bridges across cultures to theatre productions and challenging climbs.

I see art not only as a reflection of the world but also as a way to imagine what it could become. Through my intercultural leadership experiences in CISV, I learned the power of understanding and collaboration. Leading projects with peers from diverse backgrounds taught me to navigate different perspectives with an open mind, foster teamwork, and create meaningful connections.

Rock climbing mirrors theatre; it requires trust, patience, and shared responsibility. Each climb strengthens problem-solving under pressure and the importance of supporting one another, just as every successful production relies on clear leadership and teamwork.

As a stage manager, I bridge structure and creativity with calm leadership and clear communication. My experiences shape how I approach theatre and life, with empathy, composure, and the belief that thoughtful leadership can inspire collaboration, transform bold ideas, and make a lasting impact beyond the stage.
