Jay Havens, Asa Benally, and Cris Derksen were set to design for Rez Sisters- the MOST Indigenous design representation I have ever encountered at once. I truly hope we can come back to show you what we got ✊🏼 #DecolonizingTheStage
I am so so sad that this aspect of our storytelling has not been represented in this industry. I am so humbled I get to be part of that change. #DecolonizingTheStage
How can we expect to protect the integrity of our clothes and crafts, and develop the protocols of our artistic ceremony, if we are not a part of their construction? #DecolonizingTheStage
In 3 years of working across Canada, I worked in a wardrobe that had some non-white staff for the first time only just this year. For the first time. (It wasn’t Stratford....) #DecolonizingTheStage
but most of the time when things get built the burden of advocating for Indigenous protocols and process falls on the Indigenous artists. It broke my heart to hear Quelemia’s story and about what happened with her regalia. #DecolonizingTheStage
I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without their work and advocacy. #DecolonizingTheStage
I owe my success to the directors who created space for me, who took chances to push for hiring someone green: Kevin Loring, Jani Lauzon, Kim Harvey, and Falen Johnson. They, along with household names like Muriel Miguel and Margo Kane, have been #DecolonizingTheStage for years.
I’m just curious- How many Indigenous plays have you seen? And how many of those were designed and/or built entirely or in part by Indigenous artists? #DecolonizingTheStage
Additionally, the views I hold and express do not necessarily reflect those of the Festival’s and I certainly cannot speak for all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. #DecolonizingTheStage
I also want to thank my peers who have been holding space here on Twitter and on Instagram. It is so important to ensure we are #DecolonizingTheStage and this is only the beginning.
Ok. I got 3 minutes. Tomorrow is National Indigenous Peoples Day. Commit to doing one thing for your learning. Take an on-line workshop, watch a concert, read a book by an Indigenous author, listen to a podcast. We are out there doing good work. Find us. #DecolonizingTheStage
It is important that we no longer silo ourselves or our conversations. We need to keep growing. Within our communities and within the Arts. It's not Art otherwise. Art is meant to challenge to create change. That's our gift. #DecolonizingTheStage
Ujarneq Fleischer who came all the way from Greenland to join The Breathing Hole. He never knew anything about it but jumped in anyway. Gutsy. #DecolonizingTheStage
To Jimmy Blais. Your tenacity and dedication. #DecolonizingTheStage
To Jani Lauzon. A powerhouse actor, producer, playwright, puppeteer, coordinator and advocate. #DecolonizingTheStage
To Yolanda Bonnell who keeps a room alive with her strength, dedication, intuition and hard work. #DecolonizingTheStage
I think about how Indigenous languages are #DecolonizingTheStage. As a child of a residential school survivor, it aches that I lost my language and value when our languages can be spoken on stage. So healing.
Another favourite moment was watching @Yolanda_Bonnell come out wearing a slip in Kim Harvey's Kamloopa. That was a YES moment for me. #CelebrateOurBodies #DecolonizingTheStage
