Through their work, they inspire us to see the world differently. Treemonisha is one of the world’s first Black operas. Created in 1911 by Scott Joplin, it is one of the few surviving performance pieces about the immediate post-slavery era written by a Black person. Sadly, Joplin could find no backers and never saw the work fully staged. Volcano Theatre, in association with the Moveable Beast Collective, is reimagining Treemonisha. Led by an international creative team consisting primarily of Black women, the new version features a new orchestration, arrangement, libretto and story that extends Joplin’s feminism and politics. The project looks to restore Joplin’s voice as central to a North American Black classical canon. “ This work is about the things we were told The NAC, with an investment from the separated us and how we internalized this National Creation Fund, is a co-commissioner separation.

  • 12. What We Talk About When We Talk About Indian
    12. What we talk about when we talk about Indian Yvette Nolan here are many Shakespearean plays I could see in a native setting, from A Midsummer Night’s Dream to Coriolanus, but Julius Caesar isn’t one of them’, wrote Richard Ouzounian in the Toronto Star ‘Tin 2008. He was reviewing Native Earth Performing Arts’ adaptation of Julius Caesar, entitled Death of a Chief, staged at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Toronto. Ouzounian’s pronouncement raises a number of questions about how Indigenous creators are mediated, and by whom, and how the arbiter shapes the idea of Indigenous.1 On the one hand, white people seem to desire a Native Shakespeare; on the other, they appear to have a notion already of what constitutes an authentic Native Shakespeare. From 2003 to 2011, I served as the artistic director of Native Earth Performing Arts, Canada’s oldest professional Aboriginal theatre company. During my tenure there, we premiered nine new plays and a trilingual opera, produced six extant scripts (four of which we toured regionally, nationally or internationally), copresented an interdisciplinary piece by an Inuit/Québecois company, and created half a dozen short, made-to-order works, community- commissioned pieces to address specific events or issues. One of the new plays was actually an old one, the aforementioned Death of a Chief, which we coproduced in 2008 with Canada’s National Arts Centre (NAC). Death, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, took three years to develop. Shortly after I started at Native Earth, Aboriginal artists approached me about not being considered for roles in Shakespeare (unless producers were doing Midsummer Night’s Dream, because apparently fairies can be Aboriginal, or Coriolanus, because its hero struggles to adapt to a consensus-based community).
