Centering Relationships to Grow Guthrie Theater’s Native Advisory Council

HowlRound Theatre Commons: In early March of 2020, I was at work at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota on a Saturday. I met Ernest Briggs who was teaching a free, all-ages, all-abilities acting class for the Indigenous community as part of the theatre’s growing commitment to Native artists. When Ernest first proposed this all-ages class, I didn’t understand how it would work, but I trusted him to know how he wanted to teach in his community.
