A Nlaka'pamux from the Lytton First Nation in British Columbia,[8] he studied theatre at the prestigious Studio 58 theatre program at Langara College.[8] In June 2017, Loring was selected by the Hnatyshyn Foundation as a recipient of the REVEAL Indigenous Arts Award, which honours Indigenous Canadian artists across disciplines.[9] Kevin Loring created the Songs of the Land Project in collaboration with five separate organizations in his home community.[10] This project aimed to bring traditional Nlakap’amux songs and stories, which were recorded on wax cylinders at the beginning of the 20th century by anthropologist James Teit, to contemporary audiences.[11] This work informed The Battle of the Birds, a play which debuted at the Lytton River Festival in 2015,[11] and which was restaged in Ottawa in 2019.[12] It also spurred The Boy Who Was Abandoned, a second production which debuted in Lytton in September 2016.[11]
On June 15, 2017, Loring was announced as the first artistic director for Indigenous Theatre at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa (NAC).[13] In early 2019, the NAC was denied $3.5 million dollars of requested federal funding, a decision which would have a significant impact on the inaugural season.[14] The first production, “The Unnatural and Accidental Women” by Métis playwright Marie Clements opened on September 11, 2019.[15]
