Retreating to Re-Treat: A Performative Encounter at the 'Edge of the Woods'
()
About this ebook
In 2019, a group of scholar-artists led by Jill Carter stood with their audience in a liminal space at the 'edge of the woods'—a space between now and then, a space between now and later. Together, they engaged in a survivance intervention: an Indigenous reclamation of territory, using Storyweaving practices rooted in personal connections to the land as a method of restor(y)ing treaty relationships.
Retreating to Re-Treat documents both their artistic offering and creation process, offered in the spirit of knowledge-sharing and enriching scholarship around collaborative practices. By revealing their unique and still-developing method for addressing a fraught and tangled (hi)story, the Collective Encounter invites readers to join them as we mediate those sites of profound experiences and renewal—sites in which the project of conciliation might truly begin.
The Collective Encounter
The Collective Encounter is comprised of a courageous group of scholar-artists who came together in July 2019 to create a survivance intervention that would effect an Indigenous reclamation of territory, placing the settler and Indigenous body, alike, into direct confrontation with a difficult history that has been written over by colonial occupation and invention. This intervention, Encounters at the “Edge of the Woods,” opened Hart House Theatre’s centenary season in September 2019.
