Canyon Sam
Solo Performance Theater Artist


A master storyteller ... One of the best of the next wave of Asian American performing artists." 
The Village Voice


Nationally-acclaimed writer, performance artist, and diversity consultant, Canyon Sam creates solo performances based on her experiences in both Asia and America as an activist and Buddhist practitioner. Ms. Sam has graced stages throughout the U.S. and Canada, from the Solo Mio Festival in San Francisco, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, to the Asia Society and Columbia University in New York. Her performances, known for fluidity and grace, and for rich poetic lyricism, are fueled by what Vancouver's Women in View Festival calls, "A strength and passion rare in commercial theater."
