Abstract This research, through a theology of appreciative voice, Presence and Service, used an Indigenous expressive arts-based approach in partnership with the Canadian Opera Company, to explore how a group of 15 vulnerable, immigrant and/or first generation immigrant youth live with their struggles while finding compassion and imagination. My goal was to engage the youth aged 18-29 years, labeled “at risk”, in writing, designing, staging and performing an opera. Through this experience they found their individual and collective voices and were able to realize their leadership and emotional intelligence capabilities. Key words: Indigenous; Indigenous methodology; appreciative voice; arts-based research; Canadian Opera Company; compassionate imagination; emotional intelligence; theology ii Dedication If you were misguided, misrepresented or misunderstood, If your world was coloured with pain and indifference, If you were rejected even though you did your best, If poverty and marginalization were your companions If you had to live with indignation and repeated insult, If spoken truth gave birth to ridicule, If you were the last to be chosen and the waiting felt like eternity, If you were hollered at boisterously, only for them to realize it was a mistaken identity, If you fled war, and are up most nights hearing and seeing and remembering, If love dismantled your identity and fate manipulated your serenity, If you were orphaned, If you began to parent at a tender age, If you hesitated as you learned to put pen to page And numbers left you in a daze, You fill me with imagination And Compassion brings me closer to the Creator Artist, In turn, I dedicate my work to you. iii Acknowledgements Oh Creator/Artist, I acknowledge with words that cannot express, The full depth, Of my gratitude for My supervisor, doctoral committee members, academic institutions, editors and readers, My thesis guide for "encouragement and possibility" My children and husband for their creativity, The youth and educational artists who worked alongside me, My parents, grandparents, and those gone before me For the many moons between, seasons and periods of growth, I try to be thankful To show how I feel, To show how the Spirit Has coloured my world, With love, thankfulness, praise, writing & annotating, My heart is open, my soul cleansed I am grateful to all and to the Creator /Artist iv I am deeply appreciative of the youth who participated in this artistic leadership endeavour, and I am thankful for the artist educators from the Canadian Opera Company who shared their time and talent. I acknowledge with thanks, the financial support of Toronto Community Housing, and of George Brown College in this research. v Contents Abstract

They have dealt with me for the past four years and have helped me grown into the writer I am today. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I feel, so hopefully top-billing in the acknowledgements section helps to convey my heaping admiration for them. A special thank you to Christopher Moore for helping me cultivate my ideas. Though our time together was short-lived, I will always remember gaming and talking about Frank Herbert’s Dune with him in his office covered with posters of The Dark Crystal and Adventure Time. I’d be remiss if I ignored the diligence of the library staff at Deakin University for sending me many a book through the mail. For every book, paper and overdue notice sent, I thank you. And finally, my family, fiancée Heather Funk, and friends—I thank you for the love, encouragement, support and kindness. Without all of you, I would likely be institutionalised by now.

    THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2018 PAIR OF $1.2M JUVENILES MAN O= WAR PROJECT HELPING THE SOLDIERS OF WAR HEAL by Dan Ross HEADLINE FT GULFSTREAM How long have humans been aware of the cruel psychological toll of war? For a clue, just turn to the Ancient Greeks, and the play Ajax, about a decorated general whose hellish recollections of battle drive him into deep depression and eventually to suicide. For millennia then, we have recognized many of the conditions that now fall under the umbrella of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). And yet, beyond a handful of common treatments for PTSD with only so-so success rates, the medical establishment has largely ignored so called "alternative" treatments for which there's overwhelming anecdotal evidence as to their benefits.
