Spoken word & performances
Gwynne Hunt brings unflinching truth, sharp satire, and heartfelt vulnerability to the stage. As an award-winning literary artist and seasoned theatre producer from British Columbia, Gwynne weaves raw personal narratives that challenge, provoke, and heal.
Her spoken word and stage plays tackle urgent, often painful themes—including violence against women, child sexual abuse, poverty, and grief—tempered with a dark sense of humour and acute emotional clarity. Gwynne’s blunt honesty and evocative imagery create an unforgettable communal space where audiences find both confrontation and release.
Stage highlights & advocacy in action
From touring provincial penitentiaries with the groundbreaking play Missing (sponsored by LINC) to producing 20 years of Fringe Festivals and 15 years of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues with Art Matters Society—raising over $70,000 for women's resource centres. Whether sharing award-winning poetry, touring theatrical productions like Breadlines, or adapting stage work like Mudflaps into international festival films shown at festivals in Los Angeles and New York, Gwynne uses storytelling to advocate for women, children, and survivors.
