James E. Kenward (born 18 September 1982) is an English poet, film and stage actor, as well as a director and producer. [1] Kenward was one of the cast and writers on BBC Sony Comedy Award-nominated show A Series of Psychotic Episodes, 2007, which Harry Deansway in The Guardian said offered 'A glimpse into the future of British Comedy'. [2] Kenward is known for creating the lead role of Skinner in 'Streets A New Kind of Musical', 2013; Charlie in 'The Lost Choices', 2014, and Drez in 'The Ghoul', 2016, starring Alice Lowe, and Paul Kaye. [3] [4] [5]
Before performing as a poet and actor, James E. Kenward vocalised Jungle Drum and Bass music. He 'worked his magic in a very different world, featuring as a club MC internationally, performing with the likes of Congo Natty, Nicky Blackmarket and Pav4n from legendary group Foreign Beggars.' [6]
Kenward rehabilitated after, 'A partying life escalated and left him at rock-bottom, living on East London rooftops.' [7] He worked on educational projects and theatre shows reflective of these experiences, in London venues like the Waterloo Vaults Theatre and the Hackney Empire. [8] One such project was 'ZIP', in 2010, which Kenward wrote with Ray Shell whom poet Maya Angelou referred to as a 'powerhouse'. [9] [10] Shell said ZIP was for 'all those young lives who have been needlessly cut short for all sorts of useless reasons'. [11]
In 2010 Kenward also worked as an actor with dramatist Edward Bond on two plays, 'Olly's Prison' and 'The Fool', later speaking at a symposium about Bond's contribution to world theatre held by the English and Comparative Literary Studies department at Warwick University. [12] [13] In 2013 Kenward performed in 'Streets A New Kind of Musical', 'expertly multitasking as drug-pusher Skinner, emcee and rap-poet'. [14] He appeared in The Ghoul which received a BAFTA award nomination for Outstanding British Debut in 2018. [5] [15]
In 2022 and 2023 Kenward acted in Season 1 and 2 of #1 Audible Plus and #1 Audible Original Fiction bestseller 'Impact Winter', written and directed by Travis Beacham, starring Liam Cunningham, Himesh Patel and Holliday Grainger. [16] [17] In 2023 Kenward worked with concert pianist Bota Zakir combining his poetry with classical piano, and putting these arrangements as soundtracks to films he directed. [18] Kenward's 2023 film, Key, features cinematography by Cannes Golden Lion winner Jacob Proud, and stars T.S.Eliot Prize-winning poet Joelle Taylor. [19] [20]
