A More Inclusive and Aspirational Theater Field
Empowering Directors and Playwrights: A summit for theater practitioners on creation, collaboration, and communication.
In this 4-hour virtual summit, playwrights and directors across the nation gather together to imagine a more inclusive and aspirational theater field. The director and the playwright are the leaders in the rehearsal room. How do they forge collaborative bonds and understand each other’s processes? How do playwrights assess a director’s work and find the right collaborators and vice versa? And in this time of radical restructuring, how can we empower more BIPOC theatre artists in their creative processes? Can playwrights and directors use their visions to enact much-needed change in the field?
