Kim Senklip Harvey
Canadian actress and playwright
Kim Senklip Harvey is a Canadian actress, playwright and director.[1] She is most noted for her play Kamloopa: An Indigenous Matriarch Story, which won the Governor General's Award for English-language drama at the 2020 Governor General's Awards.[2]
Harvey is Syilx and Tsilhqot’in with ancestral ties to the Dakelh, Secwepemc and Ktunaxa communities, she is a graduate of the theatre program at the University of British Columbia.[1] She had stage roles for a while after graduating, but found herself burning out due to always having to play negative portrayals of indigenous women as victims, and left the theatre for some time to work as an advocate for indigenous children in foster care.[1] She returned to theatre in 2017, writing Kamloopa with the goal of presenting a more balanced view of the strength of indigenous women.[1]
