Channel: Diversities In Actor Training
Date: 2015-09-11

In this video, Naila traces the high-stakes reality of storytelling as it relates to history. She argues that what some may take as the norm for theatre in Canada— a group of people performing in front of an audience of silent observers — is actually an inheritance of the settler-invader reality of ‘Canadian’ histories. She reminds us to pay attention, when we go to the theatre, to exactly whose stories are being told, and whose stories are being omitted.
