About Full Circle
Who we are
Full Circle: First Nations Performance is a non-profit society and registered charity that creates opportunities for Indigenous artists. Margo Kane (Cree/Saulteaux), an interdisciplinary artist and Indigenous arts leader, founded Full Circle in 1992. Upon establishing Full Circle, Kane’s vision was to make a profound contribution to the development of Indigenous performance in Canada.
Why we do it
Traditionally, in the Indigenous world, art is not separated from the community. It is integral to a happy and healthy way of life. Full Circle believes in rooting art back into the community, where it was traditionally and where it is intended to be. Through creating opportunities for Indigenous artists to express their life experiences and engage with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, we share these values with as wide scope as possible so that people of all races and ages have a better understanding of First Nations, Metis and Inuit culture.
VISION and MISSION
In accordance with Kane’s vision, Full Circle’s objectives are:
Mission One
To create a range of performance opportunities for Indigenous artists to express their life experiences
Mission Two
To engage audiences of all ages and backgrounds in performances by Indigenous artists
Mission Three
To educate the Canadian public on the arts, culture and histories of Indigenous peoples
Mission Four
To train artists in all aspects of the arts based on and respectful of Indigenous traditions, culture, and history
