Organization Description
Savage Society tells Indigenous stories. Our focus is on developing artistic work that reflects Indigenous world views, sourcing traditional stories and cosmologies and our contemporary realities as Indigenous people for the creation of live public artistic events in both professional theatre venues and community settings.
Core company values
- Story Sovereignty – We create space for individuals and communities to locate themselves in their stories, and support them in telling those stories how they choose.
- Community Activation – Art is a powerful tool to amplify and empower community voices in ways that contribute to Indigenous self-determination and wellbeing
- Cultural Embodiment – We ground our work in our Indigenous identities, practices, and living cultures
