Productions
Since its foundation in 1995, Border Crossings has presented many productions drawing from a range of cultural traditions,
and serving a variety of audiences across Britain's diverse communities and elsewhere.
Origins was the UK`s inaugural festival of First Nations creative arts, bringing together groundbreaking artists from the indigenous cultures of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA.
At venues across London from May 4-17 2009, the first festival explored First Nations experience in the twenty-first century through theatre, film screenings, and participation. Watch this space, or join our email list, for details of future Origins Festivals of First Nations.
Origins focuses on First Nations people`s relationship to the contemporary, Westernised world. The festival considers today’s vital issues from a First Nations perspective, addressing key themes from truth and reconciliation to the environment and climate change.
At a time when the Western world faces environmental and financial crisis, can it learn from the respectful relationships the indigenous peoples of the world have with the Earth, within their own communities and with their heritage?
Origins invites audiences and performers to engage in this dialogue in London, capital of a country that radically changed history for the original inhabitants of the lands it "discovered" and colonised in centuries past.
