The Meaning and Importance of Indigenous Performances
Often, when we hear the word “indigenous,” we immediately think of the indigenous peoples in North America. However, indigenous theatre is a type of performance that is based on the storytelling traditions of any specific indigenous culture around the planet. It can be used as a form of entertainment, therapy, or education. Indigenous theatre often includes music, dance, and visual arts. It can be performed in a variety of settings, including homes, community centers, and schools.
