Presented by Full Circle: First Nations Performance, The Moccasin Trek Roadshow is a sister-project to Moccasin Trek: Arts on the Move! The Roadshow is a live-performance curated and presented by Indigenous artists, who bring theatre performance, traditional dance and song, contemporary music, and more to a community. While Arts on the move brings interactive Aboriginal Arts workshops, story-telling and performances into classrooms, school gymnasiums and local community centres throughout the province of British Columbia, the Roadshow is a community performance that people of all ages can enjoy. It provides opportunities for children and youth, adults, elders, and everyone in between to witness Indigenous arts that speak from unique Aboriginal perspectives.

Moccasin Trek Roadshow is designed to:

• Offer first-hand experience in Aboriginal arts to directly build audience engagement and entertainment;
• Enrich communities by offering performances led by Indigenous artists;
• Develop interest, understanding and enthusiasm for cultural activities;
• Enhance Aboriginal children’s sense of belonging in the community and build pride about their culture and rich history;
• Encourage artistic expression and root it back into the community – as it was historically and how it is intended to be; a place where Aboriginal cultural practices are no longer separated from art practices;

All artists entertain a large family demographic and offer opportunities to local and community-based artists to participate within their own communities, which allows Roadshow artists to learn about the communities they visit.
