Nozhem: First Peoples' Performance Space

Indigenous performance and Cultural Studies students will surely be familiar with Nozhem: First Peoples Performance Space, but others might not be.

Nozhem: First Peoples Performance Space, (FPPS) is located on the first floor of Enwayaang Building, room 101, at the end of the long passageway on the north-west side of the building.

Nozhem: FPPS has seating for one hundred people, and is unique in that, unlike traditional Western style performance spaces, this theatre is intended to be used “for ceremony, as a vessel to pour forth and nurture Aboriginal oral tradition, language, and knowledge.”  

The relatively small size of the venue means that audience members are invited to develop an up-close and personal relationship with the many artists, singers, dancers, and performers, making Nozhem: FPPS a rare gem on campus.

Nozhem: FPPS is the only publicly funded Indigenous Performance Space in Canada.

Challenge the Way You Think

Trent University respectfully acknowledges it is located on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinaabeg. We offer our gratitude to First Peoples for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings.
