Posted @withrepost • @that_ad_life Being in this industry takes commitment, bravery, generosity, and most of all audacity. I want to openly dedicate this award to Myrna Salazar, who was the first person to nominate me 5 years ago. “You’ve been doing this for such a long time and I just want to see you acknowledged.” When @3artschicago called to tell me, I cried. Not for the reasons one would think. You see had such a hard year. So many things had shifted and I had been in a state of grief and depression. I submitted this grant at 4am after a 16 hour work day, in a Los Angeles hotel room. 23 years of moving past racial barriers, 23 years of advocacy, 17 years of juggling motherhood in an industry that praises individualism, urgency, and sacrifice. I stayed in it because I believe in arts ability to reflect, impact, and transform society and I also believe the ”industry” needs to be disrupted. We are taught such a narrow perspective on what it means to make great art.
.
This award means a lot to me. Not for reasons most would think. I will continue to challenge this elitist theater system, I will continue to challenge the theaterical cannon. I will continue to stand in solidarity with BIPOC founded by led by and for organizations. I will continue to unsubscribe to white supremacy culture characteristics even when the majority wants to lean in. I will continue to stand even if I’m standing alone. I will continue to challenge boards and funding practices that favor hierarchical structure. I was honest with my intent in that application and I didn’t shy away from who I was or what systems I’m ready to break down so we can do better. So yeah, this award means a fucking lot to me and I’m so fucking proud of myself for never waivering on my stand and not letting my past dictate how big or small I make myself to fit into someone else’s view of me. Here’s to all of us and there is more to come!

This week only! Go and see Blanco Temblor from Puerto Rico's @teatropublicopr! Now let’s be honest, we all see what seems like a million things a day but this show deals with what we all don’t see; our mental health. Experience a reflection, between laughter, silence, music and movement which is sure to be truly breath taking.
