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 is a six-month Indigenous youth theatre training program that is rooted in Indigenous culture and incorporates language, ceremony, and historical teachings. This program gives participants the core skills necessary for employment in the arts and culminates in a full-length theatre performance written, designed, and performed by the class with the support of professional theatre artists.

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