Hear from our Community
From Our Artists:
“Prologue facilitates hundreds of performing arts experiences for children and youth over the course of the year, and has helped me to keep creative and engaged as an artist. Prologue not only supports individual artists like me but the larger arts education community is also greatly impacted through their vision and advocacy for equal access to the performing arts.”
– Britta B., Prologue Spoken Word Artist
From Schools:
“I hope you receive the gift of immortality and live or exist forever and never falter once because presenting these plays for us all creates precious memories for every school and child that experiences your work”
-Brigitte, Student, Kimberley Junior PS
“[Prologue helped arrange] one of the most significant learning experiences for our students this year. In 45 minutes they learned more about Haudenosaunee culture than they have all year using textbooks and teaching from non-indigenous educators. The importance of having Indigenous voices in the classroom, an uplifting and positive representation of Indigenous peoples and cultures cannot be overstated. Self-identified Indigenous students were so happy and proud to see themselves and Indigenous identity being shared and uplifted through song, dance and the strong voices of Naomi and Derek”
– York Region Teacher, YRDSB – on the Tribal Vision Dance performance
