Join Gwaandak and Pivot for works in progress and a conversation following!
Gwaandak Theatre is excited to present a collection of works-in-progress written and performed by local Indigenous artists! Join us as these writers share a selection of their work, followed by a short question and answer period with the audience.
Gwaandak Theatre
Founded in 1999, Gwaandak Theatre is the Yukon’s only Indigenous professional theatre company. One meaning of ‘Gwaandak’ in the Gwich’in language is ‘storyteller’. Our stories question, honour, and celebrate. They explore themes around decolonization, cultural identity, social justice, underrepresented voices, and human rights. Our vision is to illuminate Indigenous and northern voices. We host the annual Awaken Festival each Spring and our programming includes workshops and other training opportunities for theatre artists and community members. We also tour existing and developing works to both tiny communities and major centres, and share new scripts each year with our Indigenous Summer Play Readings.
