This chapter begins to explore the project of anti-colonial re-worlding through somatic praxis (see Castillo 2016, 57–58) as it navigates the tensions between connection/disconnection and the generative possibilities they offer to the Indigenous land-based dramaturg whose ‘approaches to new play development [are] rooted in [recovering and] maintaining relationships with the land, waterways, or skyworld’ (Lachance 2021, 54). Reflecting upon my own investigations as a land-based dramaturg, I attempt through this chapter to model my research and writing on Anishinaabe scholar-artist Leanne Simpson’s kwe methodology: this way into research and its dissemination underpins her Radical Resurgence Project (see Simpson 2017, 27–38), privileging Anishinaabe Gikendaasowin theory while refusing the imported systems that presume to rank, review, value, or devalue Indigenous intellectual labour and aesthetic development.
