Drama 312

Indigenous Theatre in Canada - Indigenous playwrights confront colonialism

Monday / Wednesday, 10:00AM to 11:50AM

Canada's colonialism is not a thing of the past, and Turtle Island's playwrights are part of the resistance and have the plays to show for it.

Kenneth T. Williams (Cree/George Gordon First Nation) is a playwright and will lead the class in how they think, work and create.

Trigger warning: some of this material is outrageously funny.

Plays studied will be:

The Rez Sisters by Tomson Highway.

Reckoning by Tara Beagan and Andy Moro.

Salt Baby by Falen Johnson.

Gordon Winter by Kenneth T. Williams.

Kamloopa by Kim Senklip Harvey.

There are no prerequisites for this course.
