Outside Looking In: Canada's Largest Indigenous Youth Performance

Join us for an unforgettable journey of dance, culture, and artistic expression with the 17th Annual Showcase by Outside Looking In (OLI), Canada?s leading Indigenous youth charity. This year, we’re excited to bring the award-winning Anishinaabe/Ashkenazi artist, Tamara Podemski, as our producer.

Prepare to be captivated with a thrilling new opening piece under Tamara’s creative vision. This showcase takes a fresh turn, weaving powerful themes of street art and murals into a compelling theatrical narrative.

Featuring 175 talented Inuit, Metis, and First Nations students from 14 communities across Canada, this showcase is a vibrant celebration of Indigenous culture, drumming, and musicianship. Melding traditional elements with the contemporary beats of hip-hop and the expressive power of street art, this year’s showcase embodies the inspiring message to “leave your mark.”
