Illusion requests $10,000 to support a workshop, videotaping and live tour of a culturally-specific suicide prevention program for the Native American community, KEEP THE FIRE ALIVE – a collaboration between Illusion Theater, Native middle school students and the Ikidowin youth performance team of the Indigenous Peoples Task Force (IPTF) and the Ogitchdakwe (a group of Native grandmothers). Created with the help of experts from inside and outside the Native community, this powerful, culturally specific program features the wisdom of the Elders and the passion of the youth.
