Playwright's Note

 The Indigenous people of this continent, like people around the world, have been performing their stories in their own theatrical forms for centuries. From the group dances at the Pueblos that take weeks of rehearsal to the call and response bird songs of southern California to modern competition pow wow, our performance traditions take on many forms. Urban Rez grew from three years of listening to stories told by indigenous people from and in the Los Angeles Basin.

 

In Creating the format for this play, my goal was to decolonize the theatrical experience to give you the gift of encountering our stories in our ways. i want you to consciously think about where your feet on the earth as you hear words spoken in ancient languages. i want you to stand face to face with indigenous people from fifteen different tribal nations and laugh together at the ridiculousness of our shared humanity. i want you to see the buildings of Los Angeles differently because you are aware of what was lost to create them. Some of Urban Rez may make You Uncomfortable. i encourage you to turn that discomfort to empathy for those who are made uncomfortable every day as refugees on their own ancestral lands. But Ultimately my hope is that this play brings healing for everyone. all are welcome to be a part of our circle today. Pilamaya for being here
