TWO SPIRIT: DUAL NATURES, Indigenous Perspectives on Climate Change at WOU, Western Oregon University, April 4-May 2

Presenting the work of two artists addressing Indigenous rights and identity, climate grief, climate change and climate justice through drag, installation, fashion and storytelling by two Two Spirit/Third gender artists.

In development since November 2024, TWO SPIRIT: DUAL NATURES is a detailed and many-layered production with handmade costumes representing each artist's heritage and the role of Two Spirit individuals who are commonly, presently still erased from cultural narratives due to colonialism, transphobia, homophobia and racism. Two Spirit people are often the guardians of their community's traditions and culture.

The exhibition displays a suite of paired costumes presented as part of several installations that address aspects of the legacies of environmental and cultural destruction wrought by colonialism, highlighting multiple Indigenous-led protests against the destruction of sacred sites and lifeways. The artists will perform combinations of solos and duets interpreting the costumes and narratives about characters in performances on loss and reclamation of culture, land and living within the changing balance of nature in a period of climate change.

Student Production Association Macbeth

Delve into the depths of ambition and betrayal with Shakespeare's "Macbeth," directed and adapted by local actor, director, and theatre creator Paul Dunckel. This timeless tragedy explores the corrosive nature of power and the consequences of unchecked desire, as Macbeth grapples with prophecy, guilt, and the unraveling of his humanity. With its themes of fate and free will, this haunting tale prompts reflection on the darker sides of ambition and the fragility of morality.

Performances are May 1-3 at 7:30 p.m. and May 4 at 2 p.m. on Lane's main campus. Contact haimbachb@lanecc.edu for more information.
