Say Their Names: Ahmaud Arbery—Breonna Taylor—George Floyd And So, So Many Others
Much has been written and said over the last week surrounding police brutality, lack of accountability, white privilege, and the effect it has on the lives of people of color in our communities and beyond.
Every video, every photo, every violent act (of which there are far too many) speaks volumes.
As a company, we believe that the inclusion of a diversity of people, ideas and cultures enriches our work, our relationships with each other, our audiences and our community.
We recommend you take the time to read, listen to, and thoughtfully consider the work of the writers, playwrights, filmmakers, and podcasters (and certainly a host of other artists and individuals) who, for years, have been speaking out against what you may now be seeing with your own eyes for the very first time.
This list is by no means exhaustive, but it contains important work that should lead you to a rich selection of other writers/artists/playwrights/poets, who have willingly exposed their personal experiences to help us see and feel theirvery human experience. This is what great art and theatre does; creates empathy and opens the world up so you can see, feel, and understand the experiences of others.
