FIRST STORYTELLER'S FESTIVAL
Developing Native stories told by Native storytellers
2024 Festival Details
Creative Nations, an all indigenous-led artists collective founded at The Dairy Arts Center in Boulder, Colorado, is launching the First Storyteller’s Festival in 2024. The festival is focused on developing new work from Indigenous artists across the continent. We are purposely avoiding defining the festival by any specific genre, and encourage creators from any discipline that is performed on a “stage” to submit (with the word “stage” being loosely defined).
The festival will take place in Boulder, CO in the fall of 2024 (dates to be announced soon). The event will include:
Staged Readings
Panel Discussions
Workshop Production
Educational Workshops
Rehearsals with a director, followed by public reading of new works
Artists presentations to engage the Colorado community around Indigenous storytelling
Next stage of development of a piece that is nearing production readiness
Training for the current and next generation of Native theatre artists
All artists selected will receive a wide range of support to develop their piece.
