A documentary on the making of Shumka’s Ancestors & Elders which follows the production Co-Directors: Indigenous theatre artist Barry Bilinsky and Shumka choreographer and dancer Joseph Hoffman. The documentary focuses on the artists’ creative process as they navigate the difficulties of uniting their respective cultural stories, while dancing around 150 years of cultural baggage. What story should we tell? How is each of our cultures portrayed? How do we depict the struggles that each of our peoples encountered? All questions considered as the journey of the creative process became bigger than the work itself. Various behind-the-scenes aspects of Ancestors & Elders are examined including costuming, music, and production - intertwined with elements of the stage show - to tell the story of the creation of this ground-breaking production.

VAKA, DRUA, AND MOANA were created and produced as a trilogy of films that focus on the art of canoe voyaging in the Pacific. VAKA is about the traditional art of canoe building on Fiji, DRUA is about collaboration in double-hulled canoe building among Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and Kiribati and the demise of this art form when steam ships arrived in the Pacific, while MOANA is about the symbol of the double-hulled canoe as a hope for rising sea levels and the human effects of climate change on the Pacific Islands. All three originated from the Oceania Center for Arts, Culture, and Pacific Studies (OCACPS) based at the University of the South Pacific and are informed by scholarly research. They were conceived by Vilsoni Hereniko who was the Director of the OCACPS from late 2008-2010 in collaboration with Peter Espiritu, Igelese Ete, and Allan Alo, all well-known artists working in Oceania. All three productions are extraordinary in that they used huge casts and cost a lot of money to stage and film. These films are particularly important because they demonstrate the beauty and power of the performative arts of Oceania (traditional as well as modern and contemporary) at their best in terms of communicating and disseminating important historical and cultural knowledge about the voyaging traditions of the Pacific. These films are multi-disciplinary as well as inter-disciplinary in their approach to research and dissemination of cultural and historical information employing art forms that are rooted in traditional Pacific cultures: music, dance, oral storytelling, chanting, and indigenous aesthetics.

The full stage performance of Ancestors & Elders - a dance production that tells the story of the first Ukrainian settlers in Alberta and their relationship with the Indigenous people of Treaty 6 territory they encountered. The work features Canada’s Ukrainian Shumka Dancers and the renowned Running Thunder Cree Dancers and Drummers, both based in Edmonton. Premiered at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in April of 2018 and restaged in March of 2019, the production met with praise from audiences and media alike. Said one audience member, “We wept and cheered and clapped and tapped our feet to the beat of the drums. Our hearts nearly burst. Far and away the best Truth & Reconciliation inspired project on stage this year.” The production involved a cast and crew of over 100 and changed the lives of each of them along the way.
