Who Are We?
The project was developed by Principal Investigator Eric Armstrong of York University and Co-Applicant Shannon Vickers of the University of Winnipeg. See our About Us page for more details. By partnering with Indigenous theatre artists, we hope to address the needs of this community of artists, research the accents that are identified as a priority, and then return the materials and resources generated to the community through workshops and open-access publications.
