#yycLCL May 2016

By: Bianca Miranda

This photo is from the remount production of One Yellow Rabbit’s Radioheaded Three.

My best friends and I, who are pictured, are all recent graduates of the UofC drama program and have been invited to join this remount. Some of the people in the ensemble have been part of this tradition for a number of years but they welcomed us with open arms and immediately it felt like family. There was so much trust, passion and dedication in what we were doing . The shows themselves were easier to do because everyone gave their all and we were all together throughout this journey.

I feel like that encompasses Living a Creative Life—diving into the unknown and coming out of the experience with a whole new family, a bigger heart and much more nourished soul.

Show us how you live a creative life by tagging your Instagram snapshots with #yycLCL, and we may feature your image next month.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
