Coming from the west coast, we do actually talk about it as a performance, but it depends on the performance. For example, there are sacred performances that happen in the longhouse that you're invited to, and there are no cameras. Then there are other feast performances that happen on the north coast, but they may be referred to as “longhouse performances” in the south. Those are definitely public performances. If you're capturing that on video or camera, whatever, it's hard to get permission when it's a public performance. But if you're reproducing it, you definitely have to get the performer's permission just like you would for any other type of performance. It really depends on the context. I think that's where it has to differ.
When we look at things like indigenous knowledge in ballets that we've had here, with the reconciliation ballet and things like that, we see that as performance. I think it really depends on the context.
