The implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission had scarcely begun. The first draft of <em>Daughter<\/em> was written. The work was set aside on sound advice from director Weyni Mengesha, who recognized that the content was too inflamed to be shaped as art at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several years later, Beagan was granted writing support through the Ontario Arts Council\u2019s Theatre Creators Reserve program, thanks to recommenders fu-GEN and Great Canadian Theatre Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beagan and Moro founded A11 in 2013 and Moro was taken by the short script. Through conversations,\u00a0 A11 outlined the remaining two sections of the triptych. Casting and collaboration in studio brought the full piece to fruition, with support from the OAC\u2019s Aboriginal Arts Program. Support for premiere production at the Theatre Centre came through the Toronto Arts Council\u2019s Indigenous Arts Project and the Canada Council\u2019s Theatre Projects programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reckoning has played theatrically in Tkaronto, Amiskwac\u00eew\u00e2skahikan, Edinburgh and Tiohti\u00e0:ke.
