About the Exhibition
Inspired by Western Canada Theatre’s closing production of Wolf Cull, this collaborative exhibition brings together eight local Indigenous artists to form a pack of their own—each artist occupying a different role, perspective, and presence within the collective body of the show.
Anatomy is structure, relationship, and interdependence: the way separate parts come together to create something living. In the same way a body relies on every organ, muscle, and nerve to function, a pack depends on each member carrying their own role. No one stands alone. The exhibition reflects this through collaboration, where artists work alongside one another in conversation, tension, support, and trust to create a collective whole larger than any individual contribution.
A body cannot function if it turns against itself, and a pack cannot survive in isolation. By bringing artists, actors, and audiences into shared space, Anatomy of a Pack becomes an exploration of how community forms not through sameness, but through difference held together. It is about the anatomy of survival itself: the fragile, necessary
systems of connection that allow us to carry
one another through darkness
Introduction from Director Cheyenne Scott
Of course, Wolf Cull couldn’t be told by me alone. It has required me to form my own pack, a group of people to build trust, inspire, and share in this story. The actors, my colleagues, friends I have worked with on previous productions, now putting their faith in me to facilitate as an emerging director. Their laughter and play kept the room alive. The designers, some of whom I never met before, now diving into this world I created and expanding it beyond what I could imagine. Sometimes rebels, experimenting with concepts, and challenging the realm of possibilities.
Ultimately, Wolf Cull is about defeating our demons, internal and external. I set this story in the near future because I believe that hope is within our reach and we cannot do it alone. We must do it in community. Each character plays a vital role within the pack and in defeating the shapeshifting creature. The anatomy of this pack is literal, logistical, and metaphorical.
You could say that each member of the pack makes up a part of me. I put my truths into this story hoping that it resonates with other Indigenous femmes and that each person who meets the characters can connect with some combination of them. My deepest desire in writing this play is to empower Indigenous folks to bare our teeth and run free.
