Landon Krentz is a Deaf performing artist from Saskatchewan, Canada. He discovered his love for theatrelater in life when he learned sign language. He quickly became a prominent figure in Canadian arts, trying out different forms like ASL opera, visual stories with music, and plays in both ASL and English.

Krentz is known for his unique performances that combine physicality, visual language, and sign language. He wanted to go beyond just relying on ASL interpretation, which often gives only a partial experience. As a Deaf artist who's fluent in both American Sign Language (ASL) and English, Krentz is the Artistic Director and an ASL performer for theatre. He's all about bringing Deaf and hearing audiences together in his art.

His efforts were recognized when he received the Award of Merit for Inclusion and Access in 2018 from the Western Institute of Deaf and Hard of Hearing, now Wavefront Communication Access Centre.

In 2018, Krentz teamed up with Deaf West Theatre to create "Awakening Deaf Theatre in Canada." This project aimed to bring Deaf artists from across the country together to work on an ASL musical based on "Spring Awakening," a Broadway show. The project united Deaf artists from almost all provinces.

Krentz has worked on a Deaf-led ASL Opera based in Vancouver, BC. He's both the playwright and performer, and the opera explores Deaf culture, queerness, and the human experience using sign language's rhythmic beauty. Krentz's accomplishments also include his play "100 Years of Darkness." This play, produced by Inside Out Theatre, tells the story of Deaf students in the 1880s who were subjected to cruel experiments trying to erase their language and culture. The play sheds light on the effects of banning sign language.

He's not stopping there. Krentz is currently developing two more projects: "The Confidence of a Deaf Queer Human," created with the Soulpepper Academy, and an adaptation of "The Little Prince" for Deaf theatre. His journey continues to shape the arts and bring Deaf experiences to the forefront.
