Learn from our brilliant panelists how to practice fully inclusive producing and intersectional approaches to personal stake in ending white supremacy in and out of the theatre space. From auditions & casting, community building, audience engagement, marketing, and show content. Recommended for new & veteran producers alike! This isn’t about white savior-ism, this is personal stake work, as it relates to multiracial spaces.

GOALS OF THIS EVENT

  • - To build a shared understanding of racism and how it functions on interpersonal, institutional, and cultural levels
  • - To unpack systemic racism, white supremacy, and their effects on the theatre industry at large
  • - To share tips and tools for challenging racism in theatre spaces
  • - To identify how these issues affect our daily and work lives
  • - To build a community understanding of how to decenter yourself in multiracial spaces, while also having a personal stake in ending white supremacy.

This workshop will include a learning session with definitions and resources, a facilitated conversation with white antiracist organizers, and a Q&A, where white artists can ask questions they may feel uncomfortable asking in multiracial spaces.

This workshop is centered around white artists, not to take power away from BIPOC, AAPI, MENA artists, but to alleviate the burden of education on those folks. Any artist, from any racial background, is welcome to attend.

This event will have live captioning. To request live ASL interpretation, please email [email protected] at least 72 hours in advance, and we will provide one.
