Weesageechak Begins To Dance XV

The 15th Annual Festival of New Works
September 2002, dates TBA

Weesageechak is the Trickster, the Coyote, the Raven, but no matter what
your name is for this powerful being, Weesageechak’s main attribute is
transformation, and transformation is what this festival is all about. The
purpose of this festival is to workshop unproduced and uncommissioned
theatre scripts and dance pieces in order to develop new works for
Aboriginal theatre and dance. By placing the selected pieces (and their
creators) with experienced dramaturges and cast members, each piece is
polished via readings, discussions and rewriting until they are presented in
the form of staged readings to the public. Selected playwrights and
choreographers will be paid an honorarium and those from out-of-town will
have their travel and lodgings paid for by the company.

All scripts and support material will be read and/or reviewed by the
Managing Artistic Director who is interested in new and original works by
Native North American Playwrights and Choreographers.

Please mail or deliver one copy of your script and/or support material to:
