History
The Aboriginal Arts Program at The Banff Centre was established in 1993 in partnership with the Aboriginal Film and Video Art Alliance (AFVAA). The goal of the Program was to create spaces and access to resources so that Aboriginal artists--writers, musicians, dancers and choreographers, visual and new media artists, and others--could develop their skills, technological expertise and forms of creation within the principles of self-government in the arts. The Program has produced collective, multidisciplinary programs in a variety of forms and approaches, in both traditional and contemporary voices. Programs have included: The Aboriginal Dance Program, the Aboriginal Women's Voices Program, An Aboriginal Journey with Brecht--A Theatre Workshop, the Creation of New Works Residency Program, the Writing for Series Television: A Screenwriting Workshop for Aboriginal Storytellers Program and work studies in arts management, audio, curatorial, media production and post-production, theatre design and stage management. For the period of time covered by these records, Marrie Mumford (Chippewa-Cree) was the Director of the Aboriginal Arts Program from 1995 to 2003. Lou-Ann Neel Mamalillikulla, Da'naxda'xw, Mumtagila, and Kwagiulth) was the Director from 2003 to 2004.
