Tom Bentley-Fisher has been the artistic director of five professional theatres, has directed over one hundred productions at theatres across Canada, Spain, and the U.S, and has taught his approach to movement and acting in universities, theatre schools, and studios throughout North America and Europe for over 30 years. He began his career as an actor, training in New York and London with Sanford Meisner and Yat Malmgren, and then performed in London’s West End before turning his hand to teaching and directing. Early on, Tom developed a reputation for developing and staging physically evocative world premieres for some of Canada’s finest playwrights, as well as the premiere of Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel’s The Oldest Profession. His productions have been featured at the acclaimed Festival Grec de Barcelona, including his 2016, multi-lingual international co-production of Burning Vision, incorporating film, dance and original music.

He is currently the artistic director of the international Yat-Bentley Centre for Performance. Tom’s approach is based on the work of Yat Malmgren, The Psychology of Movement.
