Cultural Consultant

Hello Theatre Folks,

“How does a Settler integrate Indigenous content into their theatre production without doing harm?”

I recently made the challenging decision to retire from being an active performer on stage…mostly!!

I have decided to offer sharing my knowledge as an Indigenous person, to be a Cultural Consultant. Do you have a project, a production where you could benefit from speaking to an Indigenous person to assist in making a decision or decisions? I am here! I am a safe person to have these discussions with, I do not judge, and I am open to clear discussion with an open heart.

Reconciliation, truth and healing are at the forefront of all I do!

My goal is to help guide you in telling the story that you want to tell, without disrespecting Indigenous Folks. This is not an easy task! We will be doing some fumbling, there is no clear path to doing this right. Decolonizing one’s practice will take years to develop as Indigenous Folks continue to heal from their multiple injustices and the systemic racism they have endured. This potential for collaboration is part of that journey, and gives all an opportunity to heal and create together. I am also open to other situations, not just theatre, if you think that my knowledge can help guide you to finding a solution?…..let’s talk!
