Concerned over a lack of voice and inclusion a group of prominent American Indian writers, directors and performers has joined together to form two new organizations that will represent, promote and advocate for greater visibility and a stronger presence within the American mainstream theater industry.
In a national phone session last week the tribal artists agreed to establish the National American Indian Theater and Performing Arts Alliance and the American Indian Playwrights Guild.
“The American Indian community in America possesses an amazing roster of creative talents, particularly in theater and the performing arts,” Geiogamah said. “It will be an important goal for both of these organizations to bring full recognition and support to the wonderful work that has been done, is being done now, and will be done in the future to the attention of tribal people as well as to everybody else in America and the world.”
