E39: Shakespeare Through an Indigenous Lens | Everyday Forum Podcast

SEP 21, 202691 MIN

Description

How have Indigenous theatre artists made Shakespeare their own? Shakespeare's own lifetime coincided with the beginnings of English colonization in North America, and today, artists work in decolonial ways to create art that reflects their culture and assert Indigenous sovereignty. Join Reneltta Arluk, Keith Barker, Waylon Lenk and Yvette Nolan for a discussion of how Shakespeare and Indigeneity intertwine. This event was recorded live on June 30, 2026 as part of the Meighen Forum at the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Canada. Support for The Meighen Forum is generously provided by Kelly & Michael Meighen and the T.R. Meighen Family Foundation. Listen to all past episodes for free on ⁠⁠StratFest@Home⁠⁠ ⁠⁠EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
