Dear Mom,

Letters - 1 / 15 Dear Ex

Letters - 1 / 15, Dear Ex

Dear Ex,

Hey friend. It has been years. Our lives have taken us to such different places, and though many miles separate us, and many silences, I do still think fondly on you and the time we had. I think we didn’t understand each other then, although we went through the motions easily enough. Hell, I think I barely understood myself, and it was probably unfair to ask to be understood. But sometimes I miss our lazy afternoons, our walks, and just sitting back to back, breathing, and dreaming.

We used to talk about dreams, about our careers, about art and people and...so many things that have fallen ephemeral between our fingers.

I hope you’re well. I hope you’ve found the things you’re looking for.

Yours.
Once

Open Letter - Kevin Loring to Ex Machina

Attn: Artistic Leadership of Ex Machina and Theatre Du Soleil,

I am speaking to you as an Indigenous Theatre Artist in Canada.

It is with great concern and disappointment that I am writing you to address the issues arising from your production of Kanata that will run in New York and Paris in the coming months. Billed as “the history of Canada through the prism of relations between Whites and Natives,” it appears that the truth of this production is that it is in fact an analog for the relationship between “Whites” and the Indigenous Peoples of this land. Having read about the process that lead up this production in Le Devoir and hearing accounts from Indigenous artists and leaders who took part in the consultation process I can only conclude that this process was deeply flawed.

Nothing about us without us
