GREENHOUSE THEATRE
We are an ecosystem of global, nomadic and diasporic artists engaging the arts to catalyze legacies of regenerative consciousness and creative resilience. Our core founders were born and raised near the Chi-Sippi (Rouge River) in Dish With One Spoon Treaty Territory.

We engage with living arts as embodied practices of ritual, storytelling, and rites of passage in this time of deep social and ecological transformation. We facilitate transformation, care and healing through the arts with the purpose of empowering artists to express their highest potential in service of regenerative and resilient cultures
the living arts

the living arts 〰️
refers to the whole spectrum of vital creative practices that form our galaxy of creation beyond colonial constructions of Art, inclusive of cooking, cleaning, growing, birth work, spirit work, ceremony, earthwork, and the respectful kinship & stewardship with the land

We facilitate experiences and residencies that serve as
rites of passage

rites of passage 〰️
to proliferate artists’ highest creative potential. Our passages ask artists to reflect on key questions:
1. What is the relationship between the Arts, ecological stewardship and decolonization?
2. How can we re-center our artistic processes to deeply engage with and honour the natural world, the indigenous histories of the lands with whom we co-create, and our unique ancestral creation stories?
3. How can our collaboration serve as a rite of passage that supports us to:
(a) honour and respectfully steward ancestral wisdoms as a contribution to decolonization and ecological resilience
(b) be initiated into our highest creative potential as artists in service of communal and earth-based healing in this time of deep social and ecological transformation?
