\u2014 ABOUT THE PROJECT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this drag cabaret, Jizz-Elle, a M\u00e9tis Two-Spirit drag performer, performs songs by M\u00e9tis artists from around Turtle Island\u2014including Twin Flames, Ceileigh Cardinal, Iskwe and others\u2014and shares cultural intricacies through storytelling. Beyond educating and sharing stories about Indigenous ancestry, the Cabaret will be an opportunity to promote the rich musical culture of Indigenous people of our land, which is too often undermined. And let\u2019s be real, who doesn\u2019t like a drag performance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danik McAfee (Directing, 2024),<\/strong> an Algonquin M\u00e9tis and French-Canadian director, singer, and actor, is dedicated to producing theatre performances that challenge contemporary norms surrounding identity in our society. As a queer two-spirited artist, Danik strives to lead with inclusivity, amplifying diverse voices that contribute to the rich tapestry of Canadian identity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danik\u2019s work offers a strong aesthetic point of view, orchestrating theatrical, musical, and image-based elements. With a foundation in musical theatre and a\u202fpenchant for dramatic flair, they create vibrant and visually compelling narrative realms. They are acutely sensitive to every aspect of production, creating rich, multifaceted theatrical experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of their two-years of study in the National Theatre School\u2019s Directing Program, Danik received mentorship from directors including Jillian Keiley, Micheline Chevrier, Eda Holmes, Jessica Carmicheal, Rodrigo Beilfuss, Rose Plotek and Anita Rochon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to their time at NTS, Danik received two diplomas in Musical Theatre Performance from College Lionel Groulx and Randolph College of the Performing Arts.
