Red Sky Performance is a leading company of contemporary Indigenous performance in Canada and worldwide. Since its creation in 2000, Red Sky’s vision is to lead in the creation, elevation, and evolution of contemporary Indigenous performance and make a significant contribution to the vibrancy of Canada and the world. Now in their 23rd year of performance (dance, theatre, music, and media), they continue to be guided by our mission to create inspiring experiences of contemporary Indigenous arts and culture that transform society in meaningful ways.

They are an Indigenous-led company. The vision of Red Sky Performance derives from its creator Sandra Laronde (Misko Kizhigoo Migizii Kwe) which means “Red Sky Eagle Woman” in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibway) language from the Teme-Augama Anishinaabe (People of the Deep Water). Her vision is to elevate and expand contemporary performance informed by Indigenous worldview and culture. We play a pivotal role in the ongoing cultural resurgence and shine a light on Indigenous ingenuity, beauty, and powerful original new work.
