Margo Kane - Full Circle: First Nations Performance

Full Circle: First Nations Performance

Full Circle First Nations Performance is Kane’s own theatre company; it was established in 1992 by Kane, who fulfills the role of managing and artistic director. The mandate for the theatre company is to “create opportunities for Aboriginal artists, writers and performers to express the reality of First Nations experiences and to work in harmony with First Nations traditions while engaging modern, interdisciplinary theatrical techniques”. Collaboration and Networking are integral to Full Circle’s mandate; much of what is produced is a collaborative effort of the artists involved.

Full Circle puts on an annual event called Talking Stick Festival, which hopes to "establish a unique showcase for talented, emerging and professional artists, to engage Aboriginal cultural communities, and to introduce Vancouver's many audiences to contemporary Aboriginal artistic practices.". The Theatre Company has also proven itself a leader among other theatre companies through its various workshops, training projects, and performance opportunities.
