Storytelling and strength: Voices from Indigenous theatre in Canada
This panel discussion brings together award-winning performers, writers, and directors to explore how their artistic process reconnects them with self, family and their cultural heritage and illuminates sometimes difficult questions. Panelists discuss their artistry as a way to help express their identity and cultural practices, how they negotiate the inclusion of personal experiences in their projects, and how their work manifests their connections to their homelands and ancestral knowledges.
Panelists:
Sylvia Cloutier, Performing artist, producer and director
Margo Kane, Performing artist, Founder and Artistic Managing Director of Full Circle: First Nations Performance
Lindsay Lachance, Artistic Associate of Indigenous Theater at the National Arts Centre
