Shocking. Ripped open. Raw. Emerging and established Indigenous writers from around the world present their latest works. Care to dance?
Weesageechak Festival has been the starting point for numerous renowned writers including Dora-award winning Tara Beagan and our new playwright-in-residence, Spy Dénommé-Welsh. Featuring performances in dance, theatre, music and multi-media, Weesageechak has launched over 114 new works by such artists as Drew Hayden Taylor, Alanis King, Darrell Dennis, Marie Clements, Turtle Gals, and the Tonto's Nephews.
Of those 114 works, 47 have went on to mainstage productions including Dreary and Izzy, Girl Who Loved Her Horses, and this season's A Very Polite Genocide.
We're happy to unveil the line-up for the 21st annual Weesageechak Begins to Dance festival of new works!
