We all make decisions about who belongs to our community and who doesn't. We all have ideas of where we belong and where we have a right to go, but what happens to relationship when images of community come into conflict? The Rez Show weaves a mythical collage of character-based stories and movement to explore different visions of community conflicting and coming together.   The Rez Show is a new performance work conceived by Lisa C. Ravensbergen and Margo Kane . Aboriginal elders, youth, adults and families and everyone in-between joined with professional Aboriginal artists to create a public theatre piece. This show incorporates the stories, dance, song and images created at workshops held in Aboriginal communities. From its inception in 2002, the project has utilized a model of community collaboration and consultation resulting in the exciting growth of Aboriginal leadership represented by varying ages, complimentary skills and knowledge in traditional culture and contemporary artistic techniques. T his play was developed through community workshops that explored personal, cultural, and community history among Aboriginal people under the guidance of respected elders, artists, cultural workers and youth. The Rez Show is a creative collaboration featuring KERRIANN CARDINAL , JASON KROWE , THERESA POINT , and ERMA ROBINSON . Direction: LISA C. RAVENSBERGEN Stage Management: DUSTIN THORKELSSON Sound Design: RUSSELL WALLACE Costume & Props Design: (TBC) Cultural Witness: S7APLEK (BOB BAKER) The Rez Show was supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, Province of British Columbia , City of Vancouver , The Leon & Thea Koerner Foundation, Hamber Foundation, Vancouver Foundation, The Roundhouse Community Centre, Presentation House, and the Britannia Centre.
