Experience Canada's Largest Indigenous Performance
Fifteen communities.
One year of hard work.
One electrifying show only.
The OLI Annual Showcase is Outside Looking In's flagship event. It's the result of thousands of hours of perseverance as well as an opportunity for the next generation of Indigenous leaders to share their culture while performing on stage in one of Toronto's landmark theatres.

Supporting Indigenous youth every step of the way
OLI gives participants the opportunity to unpack their emotional, mental and physical expression into a structured outlet like dance. Our programs allow youth to express their hopes, dreams and aspirations on the dance floor.
OLI promotes positive relationships during postsecondary learning, provides pathways to meaningful work, and builds the self-esteem needed to navigate away from negative behaviours such as self-harm and substance abuse.
Participants must attend school regularly, do their school work, have exemplary behaviour and be committed to working hard while in the program.
