In 2015, University of Michigan students, faculty and staff collaborated with the Cultural Department of the Chippewa Sault Ste. Marie Tribe, Lake Superior State University and Bay Mills community members to pilot a project in writing and documenting local histories. The ATE was formed when the artists realized there was a willingness within the community to tell stories this way, and its aim is to continue to develop performance events which speak to social concerns and histories of the Anishinaabe people. The Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange presented Sliver of a Full Moon by Mary Kathryn Nagle in 2015, a play about the passage of the violence against women act. Sliver of a Full Moon is a play by Mary Kathryn Nagle. The play was written in 2013 following the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Mary Kathryn Nagle is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, and has written and produced several plays involving law and Indian affairs. The play is told in a semi-linear way, juxtaposing the stories of real people who suffered under the jurisdiction laws involving Indian reservations in the United States with the efforts of several indigenous men and women to re-authorize the VAWA bill. Most productions of Sliver of a Full Moon are staged readings held at law schools, as a result of Nagle’s inclusion of survivors of domestic violence as characters telling their true stories in the play. The zip files contain recordings, agendas, a cast list, and pictures. https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/155581/1/audio.zip https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/155581/2/Logistics.zip https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/155581/3/Photos.zip https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/155581/4/UP_Photos.zip https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/155581/5/Sliver_of_a_Full_Moon_Cast.jpg https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/155581/6/sliver_of_a_full_moon_poster.jpg ...
