Our story
We create worlds
people remember.
NAMWA is a creative performance company making culture visible, visceral, and shared.
Why NAMWA
Big bold flavor.
Personal connection.
NAMWA—Narrative Art Music & Wellness Agency—takes its name from the Thai Nam Wa banana: the smaller, but most flavorful variety. Based in Los Angeles, we bring that same boutique energy to turnkey experiences for stages, public spaces, and commercial venues, never losing sight of the importance of the human touch.
NAMWA
Art, music, and human connection are essential nourishment.

Meet the founder
Jeremy Stutes, Director
Jeremy Stutes is a director, creative thought leader, and executive producer building cinematic worlds across live performance, film, and public space. Shaped by seven years in Bangkok and Southeast Asia, his work moves fluidly between film, theater, cultural tradition, and high-tech spectacle. At NAMWA, he directs immersive experiences where narrative, sound, and purposeful design turn a room, plaza, or screen into something people carry with them.
His credits span curated live performances for Grammy-winning musicians, a world-record-breaking flash mob, civic choreography designed to inspire social change, and city tours woven with pop-up performance. He also directed an award-winning 3D aerial-dance films in 180-degree VR and contributed creative work for Apple and Universal.
