Excavation Theatre gratefully acknowledges that our work takes place on the stolen, occupied, ancestral lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), ḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), and Semiahma (Semiahmoo) Nations, who have been here since time immemorial. Excavation Theatre strives to create high quality theatrical product
ions that provoke action and create new conversations surrounding issues of s*xual consent and reproductive health. From devised creations to traditional theatre, we focus on stories centered around societal injustices, that seek to dismantle s*xist ideologies and practices. We explore the concept that anything at any time, in any place, can be a theatre performance — one only has to dig deep enough to discover it. At Excavation Theatre we strive to centre justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in all our practices and policies. In casting and hiring, we strongly seek to work with artists who self-identify as members of equity-seeking groups. This includes, but is not limited to, any individuals identifying as IBPOC, LGBTQ2IA+, d/Deaf, living with disabilities, and/or facing other systemic barriers in our industry.
