Trained as an actor and self-taught as a sculptor and puppeteer, Kevin Augustine founded Lone Wolf Tribe in 1997. An indefatigable craftsman with a mission to investigate, challenge, and spellbind, Kevin devotes 2-5 years to fully realize each new production. Having written and performed seven full-length Tribe shows, including his opus Bride (PS122 commission & UNIMA citation), his original stories aim to speak compassionately to our collective human experience and unabashedly embrace art as a catalyst for social change. Since 1997, Kevin Augustine's Lone Wolf Tribe has been fusing history, philosophy, and life-sized puppetry into contemporary narratives whose dramatic scope has traversed the ancient shift between polytheism and monotheism, animal rights and the ongoing U.S. veteran suicide epidemic.
