Reneltta Arluk is an Inuvialuit, Cree, Dene theatre-maker hailing from the Northwest Territories whose work for the stage is gaining increasing prominence. The first Indigenous woman to direct at the Stratford festival, for example, as well as a published poet and performer, Arluk has been involved with the creation of new work across Turtle Island and beyond for decades. Yet little has been written about her directing practice and its interventions into (as well as strategic engagement with) more widely used directing methodologies. After a brief introduction contextualizing Arluk's work, the under-representation of Indigenous women's approaches in discussions of theatre directing, and the author's relationship to Reneltta and her work, an edited transcript of an open-ended interview between Arluk and non-Indigenous theatre artist and scholar Charlie Peters follows. What emerges is a picture not so much of a singular and rigid set of practices but rather a series of beliefs, insights, and questions that characterize Arluk's directing practice at this particular moment.
