Kehewin Native Dance Theater

Description

Founded in 1991 by Melvin and Rosa John, Kehewin is Native Theatre, Dance and Storytelling.  It is community workshops, interactive performances and classroom visits.

Kehewin tours Storytelling and Dance Theatre shows nationally and internationally for audiences of all ages.  Our troupe was voted 3rd favorite dance company in Alberta, Canada in 2005 during Alberta Scene in Ottawa, Canada.

We have toured throughout the world, performing in Switzerland, New Zealand, Germany, Italy, France, Mexico, Ecuador, the U.S., Canada and Australia.

Every Summer Kehewin provides theatre and dance training for Native youth during the Summer Training Program in the Kehewin studios on the Kehewin First Nation.  We also provide Native Studies, Craft, Dance and Theatre workshops to interested communities and schools.

Training has become an integral part of Kehewin annual operations.  Kehewin has developed its own training process, which we have named NAH (this means ‘here’ or ’take this’ in several Native languages).  This process is community oriented and culturally based.  We have also developed a community workshop manual that is now used throughout Canada 

Kehewin Native Dance Theatre also provides resource materials about community theatre and Native Studies.
