4 more chances to witness this one!
Final week, final offer. THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE closes on Sunday at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts in a Jobsite Theater production. Folks have been so kind to the work, this is one that is going to be talked about for a while. I appreciate the increasingly rare chances I get to perform, and believe firmly this among some of my best work.

Hand on heart - this... 'Living without Art is like living without Nature'. CREATIVE HEALTH This is a stunning example of the importance of creativity and connection. Looking forward to the report I am confident it will be policy and life changing!

The responses to this are alarming but not surprising. Read the article.
As a white marketing director leading majority-white teams in overwhelmingly white organisations, I am THRILLED by the introduction of Black Out performances in the UK. What a profoundly authentic audience development initiative. As arts administrators, we should do everything in our power to be as radically inclusive as we can. Not only does this break down barriers for Black audiences, it offers Black actors and creatives a safe environment free from the white gaze. As a white audience member, if you're outraged that just two out of 100+ performances aren't for you, perhaps you should ask yourself why you feel entitled to dominate every space at all times? I'm disgusted by No 10 jumping into the fray here - it's a blatant attempt to stir up hate from the far right against Black theatremakers, and distract from the issues that really matter. https://lnkd.in/e8D7aKdA

Isabella Deshon knew she loved movies from the moment her dad took her to the theater. However, she didn't know she was passionate about making them until high school. Since then, she has pursued this passion, which led her to our Bachelor in Communication and Digital Media. During her time at IE University, Isabella has explored her creativity through the IE Theater Club, and the IE Short Film Festival, where students can showcase their skills in a relaxed environment. Learn more about her artistic pursuits in the following episode of "In Their Shoes," or in this article.

I hate talking about our government, but this proves to be an issue I can’t stay silent on. The reason this show is facilitating a Black-only performance of Slave Play is to create a safe space for Black folk to reconcile with what will obviously be an impactful but partly traumatic watch. I can’t help but think about the times I’d come out of the cinema after screenings of films like BlacKkKlansman and 12 Years a Slave, to be inundated with responses, concerns and appraisals from white people while I’m still processing the deep emotions that were unearthed when watching these films. Not to mention the questions… so many questions. It’s strange to me that BlackOut’s intent could be so drastically misconstrued, and this really shines a light on how out of touch our government is with the arts and historically marginalised communities. This isn’t particularly radical at all, but rather necessary for some to allow for space to watch the play without having to mask our emotions in order for us to make any white audience members uncomfortable. They’ve chosen to allocate a small number of performances to centre the comfort of Black people whilst engaging in an artistic expression of a dark part of proven history. A history which claims and contorts the wellbeing of Black people in the present. Can we stop vilifying safe spaces for BIPOC folk? Especially as the wider world appears to become even more hostile towards historically marginalised people.

As the curtains begin to rise on a new year, the stage of life suggest that we ponder the roles people play in our personal narratives. It’s associated to a grand theater where individuals find their places—some in the front row, some in the balcony, and others relegated to the parking lot. The front row represents a select few—those special souls who walk alongside us through the highs and lows. Rita refers to them as our Ride-or-Dies!

Read more about Sam Pollard and this great doc on Max Roach.
Excited to share my interview with acclaimed filmmaker and frequent Spike Lee collaborator Sam Pollard, about his latest documentary "Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes," on the audacious, regal, and revolutionary drummer Max Roach. Read our conversation here: https://to.pbs.org/49djc58 We talked about his latest work for PBS' American Masters — 30 years in the making! — as well as the role of artists in today's society (including one Ms. Taylor Swift 👀). I first encountered Sam when Field of Vision supported his amazing doc on Dr. King, "MLK/FBI." So grateful for the opportunity to sit down with someone who is actively expanding our understanding of the American experience through art.
