Landon Krentz is a Dora Award–nominated Deaf theatre artist, performer, director, and producer based in Canada. Their artistic practice is rooted in Visual Vernacular, physical theatre, and Deaf-led storytelling, creating visually driven performance work that communicates through movement, spatial composition, and image rather than sound. Landon’s work is grounded in Deaf Gain and is dedicated to creating theatre that offers Deaf and hearing audiences an equal, shared experience, rather than relying on add-on accessibility models.

Instead of positioning sign language interpretation as a secondary layer, Landon’s work is authored visually from the outset. Their performances invite audiences to experience meaning through gesture, rhythm, proximity, and silence, allowing the story to unfold through the body and space. Through this approach, Landon creates performance worlds that are accessible across languages and cultures while remaining firmly rooted in Deaf cultural expression and visual intelligence.

They are the creator and lead artist behind a wide range of acclaimed projects, including The Little Prince (Deaf theatre adaptation) presented at Theatre Passe Muraille, The Light of the Deep at Motel Theatre, The Walk Up at Soulpepper Theatre, Caustic Effect at C-Space, JESSE: An ASL Opera with Inside Out Theatre, and 100 Years of Darkness at Pumphouse Theatre. Their work has been presented across Canada and internationally, earning recognition for its bold visual language, emotional clarity, and Deaf-led artistic vision.

In addition to their creative work, Landon is deeply committed to artistic research and professional development within Deaf and physical theatre traditions. Most recently, they participated in Sign Language Arts Live with Riksteatern Crea in Sweden, a leading professional sign language theatre company. During this intensive, Landon collaborated with 16 international Deaf artists to further develop practices in Visual Vernacular and sign language poetry, strengthening their global artistic network and expanding their visual performance vocabulary.
