Biography

Nishtis Collective's current Firekeepers, Victoria Perrie, Emily Solstice and Katie German are offering workshops focused on Dance, Spoken Word Poetry, Acting, Musical Theatre and Criminal Law from an Indigenous perspective.

Each workshop is developed from over 20 years of professional experience as performing artists in dance, theatre, musical theatre, and law. Workshops run 2 hours and can be adapted to age, ability, and content focus that best suits group needs. We would love to discuss what our workshops would look like for you or design something specifically that fits unique interests.
