Providing a stage for artists from theatre, storytelling, writing, music, spoken word, and dance, the festival celebrates the traditional performance of many communities and the contemporary art and interdisciplinary work of Indigenous creators. About Full Circle First Nations Performance: Traditionally, in the Indigenous world, art is not separated from the community. It is integral to a happy and healthy way of life. Full Circle First Nations Performance believes in rooting art back into the community, where it was traditionally and where it is intended to be. Through creating opportunities for Indigenous artists to express their life experiences and engage with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, we share these values with as wide scope as possible so that people of all races and ages have a better understanding of First Nations, Metis and Inuit culture. |
