1. Describe a specific community arts project you were involved in.
I participated in an original play called Belongings. It is a play
about immigrants coming to Highlandtown in Baltimore. It was cast
by original community members and professional actors. It's impact
on the community was very effective --- a lot of dialogue and great
memories. It provided the original residents an opportunity to meet
the new residents.It gave the original residents that lived in that
community who were white, a chance, an opportunity to fellowship
with some of the newer residents who were immigrants- African,
Asian, Latinos and came from other parts of the country. You were
introduced to different cultures,languages, music, food and
customs. And you walked away with a new imprint of the struggle
and strain of the nation's Immigrant problems.
2. What are your Guiding Principles as an artist working in
community?
Art changes things --- I mean, anything, when given the opportunity.
never under estimate the power of a small dedicated group of
people, because they can change the world.- margaret meade
3. What do you want to learn?
I want to learn about communities and how I can effectively serve
them.
I want to learn about people's differences and celebrate them.
I want to be able to help community create art in some of the most
devastating circumstances.
4. What do you know and can share?
Theatre of the Oppressed Techniques and the ability to speak in
front of a large audience.
The ability to be able to laugh at one's self because laughter is
healing.
A sense of honesty and integrity and of course humor.
5. Why are you interested in joining RSC?
I am interested in RSC because I have committed myself to uplifting
communities and everyone through the arts and otherwise. I have a
history of doing this work way before I knew what it was called and
I will continue to do this work for a long time and I would like to
do this work with like-minded folk. RSC Rocks!
