Red
Sky at Night continues the international focus that is at the heart
of all of our work: bringing together Indigenous cultures from around
the globe to celebrate our diversity, artistic scope and to collaborate
on new creative possibilities. Red Sky is about expanding its reach
and influence to everyone, and everyone belongs under one sky, Red
Sky at Night.
Launched in October 2003 to a sold-out house at Little Italy's hotspot,
Revival. The second Red Sky at Night took place on August 17, 2004
at The Carlu. This 850-seat Concert Hall also sold out, and featured
Canada's Tomson Highway, Susan Aglukark, Sandra Laronde, George Leach,
Amos Key Jr, world champion hoop dancer Lisa Odjig; contortionist
Jinny Jacinto and singer Patricia Cano both from Peru; and mask dancer
Makka Kleist from Greenland. The evening also featured thrilling excerpts
from Red Sky's celebrated works Caribou Song and Raven Stole the Sun
performed by Sandra Laronde, Carlos Rivera from Mexico, Jonathan Fisher,
Rick Sacks, and Rick Shadrach Lazar. |

I can't wait to see the next production".

extraordinary diversity of the audience - all ages - all backgrounds -
enjoying themselves together". - John Hobday
"Striking in many ways...any single act could have been a headliner...a
sold out crowd of 850 people on a balmy Tuesday night at the Carlu. No
one left disapppointed".
