Indigenous Performance

Indigenous performance refers to artistic expressions—such as dance, music, theatre, storytelling, and ceremonies—that originate from Indigenous cultures. These performances preserve and celebrate Indigenous histories, languages, spiritual beliefs, and social values. They often serve as ways to strengthen community identity, pass down traditions, and assert cultural rights. Rooted in centuries-old practices, Indigenous performances can also act as acts of resistance and reclaiming sovereignty, offering audiences insight into Indigenous worldviews and lived experiences through dynamic, meaningful art forms.
