I love that Spiderwoman Theater is celebrating Indigenous theater from all over the world with their 50th anniversary. I was drawn to this article because one of our TAs in Anti-Racist and Equitable Theater Practices gave a lecture about Indigenous theater, specifically Māori theater. At the end of the lecture, he told us to go look for Indigenous theater in the areas we live, and I was disappointed that I could not find much. This article really excited me because now I know that there is a Indigenous theater company that has been running for 50 years, and hopefully will continue on for much longer. This festival that they are holding is such a great opportunity to expose people to more Indigenous theater from all over the globe, and hopefully will encourage people to go seek out more. I wish I was able to visit New York to go see some of the work.
