Description
Monique Mojica’s (Guna and Rappahannock) theatrical practice is centred in land-based embodied research and the development of culturally specific Indigenous dramaturgies. Her first play, Princess Pocahontas and the Blue Spots, was produced in 1990 and is taught in curricula internationally. She founded Chocolate Woman Collective in 2006 to create the play Chocolate Woman Dreams the Milky Way. She is the co-editor, with Ric Knowles, of Staging Coyote’s Dream vols. I and II. Ric Knowles is a freelance dramaturge and University Professor Emeritus at the University of Guelph. He is the award-winning author or editor of twenty books on theatre and performance.
This second volume of Staging Coyote's Dream is an all-new anthology of First Nations drama in English that follows up on the success of the first volume. It brings together plays by some of the leading Native playwrights in North America, some of which have not been previously published. Like its predecessor it will be required reading for specialists and students of Native Studies, Native theatre or literature, and will serve as an outstanding introduction for newcomers to the field.
