That year, Native Voices theater artists and mentors were in residence at the Coeur d’Alene Schitsu’umsh Reservation in Idaho, working with students to create and perform ten 10-minute plays at six different venues, including the University of Idaho, the Coeur d’Alene Reservation, North Idaho College, and the Museum of Arts and Culture. In 2006, they were in residence for a month at the Sycuan Reservation in San Diego County, where they worked with thirty-seven students from the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. Students participated in daily theater workshops and created a full production of three traditional Kumeyaay stories featuring Kumeyaay language, song, and dance. On November 11, 2005, Native American Stewardship Council (NASC) member Jeanne Givens sat down to talk about the students' experiences at Coeur d'Alene.

Music:News Flash!Dances with Teen Angst by Rob Schmidt The cast is uniformly good, but Carmelo stands out as the awkward, shy Amanda. With her big glasses, pink backpack, and limbs akimbo, she's convincing. It's hard to believe this gawky girl was the fierce Thunder Heart Woman in the Into the West mini-series and the cool, urbane prosecutor in the supernatural thriller Imprint. Read the entire article at Blue Corn Comics Tender truths set to do-si-do disco by Daryl H. Miller, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer A bit more homework awaits the writer, but she's headed toward an ace project with this demonstration that life is something we're destined to live together, so we'd better work as a team to make the best of whatever comes. Read the full LA Times review here . Larissa FastHorse's 'Teaching Disco' The fledgling playwright focuses on Native American teen issues. by Lynne Heffley, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer Larissa FastHorse still looks like a ballet dancer: long-limbed and graceful, delicate face framed by dark curls. But after injuries ended her 10-year ballet career -- "It's a brutal world, there's a lot of blood involved," she says -- FastHorse turned to TV and film writing.Now, she's "coming home" to the theater, gaining notice as a fledgling playwright. Read the entire LA Times article here . Nurturing the next crop of Native artists by Eva Thomas Creating a space for young artists to find their voices, Native Voices at the Autry is doing brilliant work with the Young Native Voices: Theater Education Workshops. Now in its seventh year, Young Native Voices has provided workshops and residencies for American Indian youth. Read the entire article at Indian Country Today . Q&A with diva Arigon Starr by Patti Jo King Kickapoo entertainer Arigon Starr is not content with two NAMMY's, a successful one-woman stage production and a popular radio theater show. She's branching out again - this time into graphic novels, fashioning imaginative characters comic-book style. Read the entire Q&A at Indian Country Today . "Our Voices... Our Stories" Mini-Documentary by Visible Film VISIBLE FILM PRODUCTIONS is an all Native producing team with a mission to create original works that offer an honest and accurate portrayal of our collective communities today. "Our Voices... Our Stories" will be the first full length Documentary Film they will produce, bringing the mentoring process of Young Native Voices: Theater Education Project to a national audience. (10/24/07) Native Voices at the Autry boosts indigenous playwrights by Eva Thomas Over the last decade, a virtual who's who of American Indian theater artists has worked with Native Voices at the Autry. From Canadian playwright Drew Hayden Taylor, Ojibway, to up-and-coming playwright Larissa Fast Horse, Sicangu Nation, Native playwrights are finding a home to develop works for the stage.

A commodity cheese-based superhero with a talking-dog sidekick by Rob Schmidt Not only is Native Voices developing plays, it’s developing careers. "Native Voices helped put me on the map," says James Lujan, who wrote Kino & Teresa. "It brought me a newfound sense of respect for my creative efforts from friends, family, and colleagues which continues to this day and for that I’ll always be grateful."

Audience Review from the production What a great night. Had kids in front of me and it was fun to see them enjoy it! Energetic performance, important values, good music! It had everything, fun, depth, pathos, dancing. It touched all my emotions. I loved it. Audience Reviews from the November Festival of New Plays DISCO is good clean fun! I haven’t laughed so much in years! I laughed heartily and found myself in tears by the end (indeed, ‘I laughed, I cried’). Images from Super Indian by Arigon Starr (Creek, Kickapoo) .. Photos by Abel Gutierrez Audience Reviews I enjoy any production which includes Arigon Starr. Her imagination and sense of humor are so entertaining. The Red Road was like a trip back to my childhood. I enjoy watching Gil Birmingham, DeLanna Studi, and Robert Vestal. They make the characters seem real, and they seem to genuinely enjoy performing for the audience. Thank you for allowing us to share in your fun. Keep the shows coming, very enjoyable. Lots of fun. Really enjoyed it. Sound effects super! Actors did a marvelous job of playing multiple roles with necessary voice changes. Excellent actors and sound effects!
