Samantha Walters is an emerging interdisciplinary performer, writer, and creator based on xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) lands. She mostly works between contemporary performance, directing, and video making. Their most recent works examine ecological relationships and post-human spiritualities, with a heavy favour towards the weird, the dark, and the camp. Collaboration within communities and alongside the non-human lies at the heart of her process.

She grew up in England and Hong Kong and holds a BFA honours in Theatre Performance from Simon Fraser University’s School for Contemporary Arts, where she performed in and collaborated on multiple mainstage productions, as well as directed work for the LIVE ACTS Festival. Her work has been featured by companies such as Rumble Theatre, UNIT/PITT Society for Art and Critical Awareness, the Evergreen Cultural Centre, What Lab, and IGNITE! Youth-Driven Arts Festival. Samantha has experience working in community engagement, communications, event production, podcasting, and graphic design.
