}}Larissa FastHorse is a Native American (Sicangu Lakota) playwright and choreographer. FastHorse grew up in South Dakota,[1] where she began her career as a ballet dancer and choreographer but was forced into an early retirement after ten years of dancing[2] due to an injury.[3] Returning to an early interest in writing, she became involved in Native American drama, especially the Native American film community.[2][4] Later she began writing and directing her own plays, several of which are published through Dramatic Publishing.[3][5] With playwright and performer Ty Defoe, FastHorse founded Indigenous Direction, a "a consulting firm that helps organizations and individuals who want to create accurate work by, for and with Indigenous peoples."[6] Indigenous Direction's clients include the Guthrie Theater.[7]

Career

FastHorse was a delegate in 2000 to the United Nations in Geneva, where she spoke on the power film can have for Indigenous peoples.[4] FastHorse then chose to broaden her experience and shifted from a career as a dancer and choreographer, to feature television and film development.[4]

FastHorse worked for Universal Pictures before joining Latham Entertainment at Paramount as a creative executive; she produced two short films, The Migration and A Final Wish, before again switching focus, this time from television and film production to writing and directing.[4][8]

While writing and working on many projects of her own making, FastHorse also served as a panelist for The Film and Video Fellowships which was formerly named the Rockefeller Fellowship.[4] In addition to the Film and Video Fellowships, she has been involved with many other networks and theatre companies: she has written commissioned pieces for the Alter Theatre in San Rafael, CA;[3][5] Cornerstone Theatre Company;[1] and Native Voices at the Autry[1][3] both located in Los Angeles, CA, as well as the Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis, MN;[3] the Kennedy Center for Young Audiences in Washington, D.C.;[3] and for Mountainside Theater in Cherokee, N.C.[1][3] She has developed new plays with the Arizona Theatre Company, Tucson, AZ;[3] the Center Theatre Group Writer's Workshop, Los Angeles, CA;[3] and Berkeley Rep's Ground Floor, Berkeley, CA.[3] Her play Urban Rez, created with Cornerstone Theater, portrays the experience of Indigenous people in Los Angeles County, home to the U.S.'s second-largest Indigenous population.[9] The Thanksgiving Play was begun with a fellowship from the Guthrie Theater and developed through readings including at DC's Center Stage Play Lab in 2016;[10][11] it was produced by Artists Repertory Theatre in Oregon in April 2018.[12] Both The Thanksgiving Play in 2017[13] and What Would Crazy Horse Do? in 2014 were featured on the annual "Kilroys' List" of "recommended un- and underproduced new plays by female and trans authors of color."[14][15] What Would Crazy Horse Do?, a comedy inspired by historical interest by the KKK in collaborations with Indigenous groups,[16][17] was featured in the Lilly Awards' 2015 reading series with performers Emily Bergl, Jesse Perez, and Madeline Sayet.[18] The Thanksgiving Play also secured FastHorse's off-Broadway playwright debut, with an October 2018 production announced by Playwrights Horizons, directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel and starring Margo Seibert, Jennifer Bareilles, Jeffrey Bean, and Greg Keller.[19]

As part of her production contract as a playwright, FastHorse requires that the theatre hire at least one other Indigenous artist for the production, and showcase at least one other Indigenous artist's work in the building.[12]
