Akpik Theatre

Founded by Reneltta Arluk in 2008, Akpik Theatre is a northern focussed Indigenous theatre company that adheres to its namesake, the cloudberry, striving to flourish in the northern climate it reflects.

Akpik Theatre develops stories of the circumpolar north, whether oral tradition or contemporary inspiration, into dynamic professional theatre productions.

Encourages and mentors the development of Indigenous stories, preferably within but not limited to northern communities, with the potential of adapting these stories for live performance.

Presents professional northern and/or Indigenous scripts for local, national and international audiences, engaging actors and theatre professionals from the north and across Canada.

Produces live/audio/film productions, that inhabit at least one of these qualities.
