“I had the fortune of coaching Kenzie Klem in her first year studying the Meisner technique in Sydney, Australia. Kenzie was, of course, fully committed to the learning process, but her access to her emotional tool was as sharp as it was raw.
Kenzie brought something real and deeply personal to her exercises which always made her work engaging, because she was never afraid to expose her human frailty. In fact, Kenzie has the intelligence and guts to turn her life experience and all that goes along with being human, into art. Kenzie’s growth as an actor is a thrill to witness.”

“Kenzie Klem is a former student, performer, collaborator and artist that I dreamed of encountering during my career as an educator. ‘Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, Involve me and I learn.’ That is my teaching philosophy and Kenzie was a true model and example of that philosophy. Her constant eagerness to learn and to involve herself with every element of the craft of performance is always at the forefront of her mind. Performance is always evolving and with that, Kenzie makes it her duty to herself to thrive in that evolution, with the added bonus of making it personal to her. There is no other Kenzie Klem in the business and there never will be. She is what I like to call a true artist. I am blessed to have known her, worked with her and see her continue to grow as her mentor.”

“Kenzie was a major asset on my set. She was the lead character of my film. Kenzie took the character that I envisioned and created on paper and brought it to life. She takes great direction and is very adaptive. I was able to discuss the character with her and the role couldn’t have been played by anyone better. She adapted, lived and bred the character, whether the camera was rolling or not, until the final cut. Her talent and emotion is very raw and is something that needs to be seen. She is extremely talented and is great to work with. I look forward to working with her again on another production.”
