Indigenous Performers for "I am Eagle" Play

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking 3 Alberta based Indigenous performers for production of "I am Eagle". Please, see the details below. About the play: "I am Eagle" is a story about birds—a play that uses fantasy to explore a very real and human experience. In this story, a young eagle, representing the playwright, is taken from its nest and raised in a place that’s not its own. The eagle faces adventures and challenges, grappling with its identity and a deep sense of not belonging. The journey back to its true flock becomes a powerful metaphor for the playwright’s own return to her culture and community. Through puppetry, the play captures a sense of wonder and flight, blending elements of fantasy and falconry to symbolize the freedom that comes with self-acceptance. These fantastical elements create a safe space, allowing both Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences to engage with difficult history in a way that’s both meaningful and inspiring. Additional information: Priority will be given to women and Two-Spirit artists. Format: 20 minute conversation What to prepare for the audition: Share something that reflects your connection to the themes of identity and/or community (ex: share a story, a movement piece, a song, a poem, a reading that inspires you, etc.).
