Prairie Spirit Youth Theatre Program is a six-month intensive program that included a cultural component, life skills training and theatre development through voice, movement, writing and acting. This was the first component of a work preparation program offered through Regina based Prairie Spirit Connections to underemployed young adults. Artists Erroll Kinistino (Ochapowace First Nation) and Wolframio Sinue (Ecuador), Mark Dieter, (Lebret) and Birtha Twin (Winnipeg) lead the collaborative creative process. The group collaboratively wrote a play with Mark Dieter, entitled Savage Words and Savage Smiles. This production toured Southern Saskatchewan to the youth's home reserve communities, Saskatoon and Regina as a way for them to "give back" to their communities and share their voices as role models. The group currently meets informally and Common Weal plans to provide some periphery support to them as their leadership and independence develops in the upcoming year.
