From Page to Stage - Working with the English Dept.

This coming week we have an exciting opportunity to hear from members of the BYU English Department. During the summer, as we geared up for rehearsals and the production in the fall, Shelley Graham and I talked about how we could get more departments here on BYU campus involved with the productions. It occurred to me that we had a special opportunity here, since this play was an adaptation from the Victorian novel George Eliot wrote. Through some help, I was able to get in touch with Professor

Just Ask

Being a white woman, I have no place to make commentary on Native American/Indigenous People’s lives and their culture. So work on this production was very hard to approach because we needed the points of view that the characters strive for in the play but we needed actual resources. Through The Tribe of Many Feathers and some other connections, I was able to find Cheyanne Elton who is of Navajo descent, dancing in the Living Legends Native American Section (with a minor in American Indian Studies), and Naabaahii Tsosie who is also of Navajo descent. He is the previous President of the Tribe of Many Feathers at BYU, and he also travels the world dancing Native American dance. Both were able to come and were willing to talk with the cast about their families and their connections with the culture. After the cast did some research and sent me questions for the special guests, Cheyanne and Naabaahii were prepared to share their perspectives. They both have connections with the Navajo tribe and were very willing to talk about their experiences as well as their families’ experiences, jobs on reservations, experiences they’ve had with racism, and their thoughts on representation. They answered many hard questions.
