Circle of Voices

Since 1999, Gordon Tootoosis Nīkānīwin Theatre has been developing Indigenous youth into the next generation of storytellers by teaching them artistic and theatrical skills. The Circle of Voices program also incorporates traditional Indigenous cultural practices to ensure youth participants are carrying on the traditions of Indigenous people for future generations.

Some of our students have gone on to become musicians, actors, stage managers, playwrights, and artistic directors across Saskatchewan and Canada!
