Kenwyn Samuel
Kenwyn is an artist, actor, creator and an engineer of immersive, multidisciplinary experiences to build bridges of empathy and advocacy. Using breathwork, movement improvisation, silence, cycles, falling, and struggle to create visceral, collaborative projects that force the “viewers” to engage in asking and answering new questions; no process is ever fully “finished” -- Kenwyn is a firm believer that there are always new questions to discover and explore.
