BIOGRAPHY

About  

AKL MB BW WIX.jpg


Hi, my name is Adrian Kawaley-Quinn!
(Kawaley-Quinn is my married name, my given name Kawaley-Lathan can be found in older articles, archives and credits.)

I am a creative polymath: a producer, director, screenwriter, playwright, performing artist, choreographer, visionary storyteller and peace futurist.

I am committed to building peace through adventure and imagination. I envision an amazing world as being a fun, healthy one, full of abundant possibilities for everyone! I believe that human imagination is our most powerful tool and that stories shape our reality; to live in a better world we must first imagine that better world!

Besides, a broken world is boring; dystopia and doom is not our destiny. Instead, let’s build incredible communities and cultures of peace together!
