We had received an invitation from the U of Regina&#8217;s Performing Turtle Island and were very excited to partake.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, our funding did not come through. Thanks to the support of GTNT and the U of R, we went ahead anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Much to our surprise, the funding body we had applied to did some re-organizing and found our project could be funded, though not retroactively. This blessing with caveats meant we could further our desire to give productions of <em>In Spirit<\/em> to another Indigenous company that shares our values.<\/p>\n<p>Urban Indigenous Theatre Company thrives in Winnipeg, fostering upcoming Indigenous theatre artists and working from a place that prioritizes community and ongoing artistic health. Artistic Director Columpa Bobb&#8217;s vision is to nurture a strong youth base that can helm the company once they have the training they require. <em>In Spirit<\/em> is one step among many towards realizing this vision, and we are thrilled to be along for the ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Spirit, featuring Cecil Mann-Nelson, runs in Winnipeg through Urban Indigenous Theatre Company at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Cercle Moli\u00e8re from May 23 to 28,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=642"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":646,"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642\/revisions\/646"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/article11.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
