Kimberly Dark Biography

Kimberly Dark is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on August 12, 1968 in San Diego, United States. Dark was born in San Diego, California in 1968. She received a B.A. from University of Colorado, Colorado Springs in 1989, and an M.A. in Sociology from Cal State San Marcos in 1998. She began her work as a storyteller and performance artist in 1998. She was previously founder and principal for Current Change Consulting, a firm specializing in coalition building facilitation, conflict resolution, and qualitative research.

Her educational programs and interactive lectures include “Becoming the Subject of Your Own Story (Rather than the Object of Another’s Gaze),” “Gender Race and Money” and “Is That a Dude? Inside Lesbian Gender – It’s More Complex than you Think.” Kimberly Dark teaches in a graduate program in Sociological Practice at Cal State San Marcos.

Her novel The Daddies will be released on October 21, 2018. The Daddies uses a combination of hybrid narrative, magical realism, and pop-culture analysis to expound the role of patriarchy and “Daddy” in culture, told as a lesbian leather-Daddy love story. Lidia Yuknavitch says of The Daddies: “No one anywhere writes all the way through eros, power exchange, and sexuality more fiercely than Kimberly Dark. In The Daddies, Kimberly risks what most writers will not, opening up and asking how masculinity has woven through every realm of our existence, how it has seduced us, betrayed us, protected us, violated us, how it lives in men and women and every other gender and sexuality, how we are facing a reckoning. Kimberly Dark asks us to embrace and reimagine masculinity from the inside out and hold the embrace long enough to change the world.” Hanne Blank describes The Daddies as a “hypersaturated, unrelenting Willy Wonka boat ride through a pulsating circulatory system of patriarchy, pain, and desire.”

Her first book of poetry, Love and Errors, was released on May 22, 2018. Love and Errors is a book of narrative poetry that uses both personal and fictional accounts to explore themes of love, gender roles, violence, and survival. Jimmy Santiago Baca says of Love and Errors: “I’ve always loved Kimberly’s work, loved the strength and beauty of her renditions, loved the insights and grace of the arrangement of her words, compiling verse line upon verse line to capture the secrets of our dreams and deepest instincts. Radical, lovely…” Sonja Renee Taylor writes, “In this collection, Kimberly Dark combs the mossy undersides of girl and womanhood and exhumes what is most verdant and fertile in us. Her work illuminates the hard to see places, the shadow sides we most fear exposing because Kimberly knows all good growth begins in the soil of us. These poems reminded me of the possibilities in my own rich earth.” Love and Errors also received positive reviews from Lambda Literary and the San Diego City Beat.

According to Dr. Lynda Dickson, University of Colorado, “There is clear evidence that [Dark] has constructed a social context for her narratives. The characters not only have a personal story – a lived experience – but the stories are routinely connected to a larger, social reality… Attending one of her performances could accomplish more than a semester course of introduction to sociology.” As a form of pop-sociology, Dark’s writings are also well- received as entertainment. Strong poetic imagery blend with moving stage presence (Munro, 2008). In October 2010, Campus Pride, an American non-profit organization which promotes and supports LGBTQ leaders on University campuses, named Kimberly Dark on the “Top 25 ‘Best of the Best’ LGBT speakers, performers [who] raise awareness of inclusion, visibility on college campuses nationally.”

Kimberly Dark (August 12, 1968) is an American performance artist, writer, and sociologist.

Frequent themes include gender, sexuality, race, class, beauty and body image. Performances such as Dykeotomy question the intersection of social norms and individual choices. Many of Dark’s works deconstruct gender binary. Her texts and performances are concerned with both politics and pedagogy – the way feminist theory and critical theory are brought to non-academic audiences through storytelling and performance. Academically, Dark’s approaches are situated in research methods such as autoethnography and poetic inquiry. As sociologist Laurel Richardson articulates “I consider writing as a method of inquiry, a way of finding out about a topic…form and content are inseparable” (2000, p. 923).

Her current work uses sociological perspectives and first person storytelling to discuss ways humans organize social life – through gender, race, class, and sexuality. Her performances, lectures and writings use humor to reveal the makeup of privilege and oppression, as the purpose is to prompt change. Her work has been produced at colleges and universities in North America and Europe, and at theaters, festivals, conferences and other events worldwide. As of 2018, she has authored and toured eight solo-performances including, Things I Learned from Fat People on the Plane, Complicated Courtesies, Love Sex and Laughter, The Butch Femme Chronicles: Discussions With Women Who Are Not Like Me (and Some Who Are), Public Contact, True Confessions of a Lesbian Diva, Stripped and Teased: Scandalous Stories With Subversive Subplots, and Dykeotomy.
