Kian Pitman
As the epitome of a third culture kid (from being born in Australia, to growing up in the multicultural nation of Malaysia) Kian’s acting career began at age 14 touring around Malaysia with a Cantonese Musical Opera, “Paper Crane” dir. Joe Hasham.
Kian moved to London at 18 where she studied at RADA and The Actors Centre. She was also an ensemble member of the Tower Theatre Company and performed in several short films and theatre productions during her time there, including “Nicky” in “Shakers" dir. Orna Joseph (London).
Kian then returned home, completing her acting training at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts where she received many awards, including the 2018 Shakespeare Award for her role as Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet”.
After earning her bachelor, Kian was involved in many creative projects including the award winning and sell out season of "Yellow Face" (dir. Tasnim Hossain)- KXT as “Name Withheld on Advice of Council”, “Brandi” in Redline and Outhouses’ joint Production of "How To Defend Yourself", (The Old Fitz), plus numerous screen projects and commercials (KFC).
Kian has always valued contributing to educating young minds from the perspective of a working Actor and as such became a teaching artist, director and coach for some of Australia’s leading youth arts institutions, including NIDA, ATYP and more. Kian is also a proud collaborator of the Smith’s Family Foundation.
With the goal of furthering her career and mindset, Kian emigrated to Canada in 2023 and has since achieved roles on screen and stage.
