As the creator and lead artist of The Little Prince adaptation, Landon brings a fresh, imaginative perspective to this timeless tale, reimagining its journey through the rich and expressive lens of Physical Theatre, Visual Vernacular (VV), and Vertical Dance.

Landon’s artistic achievements include JESSE: An ASL Opera, a groundbreaking operatic exploration of Deaf identity; A World Without Them, a compelling physical theatre and visual vernacular piece developed during their residency at Ghost River Theatre; and the Deaf Artists Retreat, a transformative creative residency fostering collaboration and innovation among Deaf artists.
