Artists’ Interview for Do You Remember?

We Treaty People

A conversation with many of the artists who created Do You Remember?: playwright Joelle Peters, director Dawn Bird*, actors Nicole Akan, Sam Flamont, Kristin Friday, Liz Johnson, sound designer Tim Bratton, hosted by artistic director Stephen Waldschmidt. With original music by Darryl Dozlaw, Jordan Daniels, Marc Okihcihtaw and Donny Speidel.

Gratefully created on Treaty 6 Territory and the traditional homeland of the Métis, and in Toronto, which has been the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat (there are many other First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples that call this place home).

Burnt Thicket Theatre is committed to creating spaces for diverse artists to be honest and open about their experiences and perspectives even when those views don't necessarily represent those of Burnt Thicket Theatre as an organization. We invite you as an audience member to lean in to hear those who are different from you, to be brave and to allow the space between all of us to be one of respect.

This project is made possible by a Digital Now Grant from Canada Council for the Arts, and by our major sponsors Shercom Industries, SK Arts, and Creative Saskatchewan.
