Our Mission is
to empower
American Indian and Alaskan Native Youth through traditional and contemporary performing arts.
Our
PRIORITY is to serve Native youth through our Youth Theatre Program. Red Eagle Soaring develops talent and booking networks
for Native performing artists of all ages, and works with other groups on projects that further the careers of people of color
in the performing arts and fosters multi-cultural understanding
The main desired outcome of the Youth Theatre Program is to see each student, according
to his or her ability, make improvements in self-esteem, self-image and self-knowledge of identity, self-discipline, verbal
and non-verbal communication skills, teamwork and creative expression; and to give interested students guidance and opportunities
for training for a career in theatre and film.
Our GOAL in this work is to merge traditional with contemporary theatre arts
for the enrichment of the lives of under-served urban Native youth.
