Weesageechak Begins to Dance is a two-week festival showcasing new works and works-in-development by Indigenous artists across Turtle Island and beyond, hosted in the heart of Regent Park in t'karonto. Every November, Native Earth Performing Arts is proud to welcome new theatrical, dance, music, and multidisciplinary works reflecting Indigenous experiences, offering a peek into Indigenous storytelling today and to come, and reflecting the richness of Indigenous arts. These curated works receive artistic and dramaturgical support, rehearsal time and space with actors, and public sharing.

Weesageechak Begins to Dance 38 will be from November 19 – 30, 2025, presenting works at our Aki Studio along with ancillary programming over the course of the festival.
