​Difficult Conversations: On  Race, Gender and Power

A work - in - Progress

In The Fall of 2018, with the support of Race Forward and HB Studio we began developing a new piece exploring the challenges  of navigating social inequities for young people in today's highly polarized climate of
systemic racism, homo-phobia, and sexism. 

Phase I
The Person Inside
Our first step is to invite company members to connect with a part of themselves that has been silenced and then to give it a name, a voice, and a story through interviews, spoken word, monologue, dialogue, dance, and song.
We initiated this phase in our HB Studio Residency in November 2018. We met for nine hours a week over the course of two months and presented two evenings of solo, duo, and ensemble pieces to extremely enthusiastic audiences.
Phase II
The Intersections & Transformations

In this phase, we will begin to develop shared stories and explore the complex relationships between and among the characters we have developed. We'll then, construct a collective narrative that traces the evolution of a wide spectrum of social justice movements and how that shared history can unite and heal all of us.
​
Phase III
​The Discussions

We plan to perform this  piece in communities and theaters throughout the city, country and across the globe using post performance talk backs and inter-active techniques to generate conversations that will hopefully inspire perspective sharing, paradigm shifting and structural change.
