Toronto, ON. The Centre for Indigenous Theatre is proud to present our 7^th
Annual Variety Showcase.  The students will perform works created
and/or taught in their first term.  Along with vocal performances and
acting fundamentals, the students will engage in aspects of story
creation performance pieces and audition fundamentals.

 

The evening will begin with song selections from Marie Gaudet’s Indigenous Singing Class and followed by Big Drum songs led by Gabe Gaudet.  Next, the students will perform Pow Wow Team Dancing choreographed by Indigenous Dance Instructor Deanne Morrison.

 

The
rest of the evening the students will be performing selected works that
were taught in First Term:  Scene Study Selections, Audition
Performance Technique, Stage Combat, Ensemble Singing, Hip Hop and a
special preview of the Story Weaving Presentation coming up in January
2011.

Indigenous performance culture through training and professional
