  • STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose
    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE No one should be forced to choose between her personal safety and dignity, and her job. But too often in the theater community this is exactly the choice that women must make. Sexual discrimination and harassment and gender-based violence often occur in the intimate and physical context of a theater production. Victims of such conduct face a stark choice between continuing to work in close collaboration with their abuser and quitting the show. Few can afford to give up a job and lose not only income, but also the opportunity for career advancement. There is a sense in the community that it is not necessarily in a victim’s best interest to report abuse because of fear that the response will be insufficient and open her up to retribution. In addition, many instances of abuse happen outside of the physical boundaries of a theater. No theater, union or guild currently takes responsible for handling such cases. However, the two people involved will most likely have to work together the next day or in another production, and the victims are left to deal with the aftermath by themselves. In the face of these realities, victims often choose silence and the abuse is allowed to continue. It is time for the theater community to break its own silence on harassment and abuse and formally address the problem. The reality is that those who behave abusively are generally in positions of power. Artistic directors hold the power to employ, playwrights have hiring approval; removing a director mid-rehearsal puts an entire production in doubt; losing a celebrity from the cast hurts ticket sales.

  • GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT Three Questions: Q&A with Myrna Salazar, Co-Founder & Executive Director, Chicago Latino Theater Alliance (CLATA)
    Illinois Humanities | August 2020 GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT Three Questions: Q&A with Myrna Salazar, co-founder & executive director, Chicago Latino Theater Alliance (CLATA) Project “Destinos” 3 rd Annual Chicago International Latino Theater Festival Location Chicago, IL Organization Founded in 2016 through a new collaboration between the National Museum of Mexican Art, the International Latino Cultural Center, and the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance, CLATA aims to produce the country’s leading Latino theater festival (“Destinos”), to provide organizational and financial support for Chicago’s Latino theater groups, and to build a permanent home for Chicago’s Latino theater companies to thrive and grow. Project “Destinos” takes place at several venues throughout Chicago, with over 93 performances, 10 student matinees, 50 post-show discussions, 4 panel discussions, and 3 workshops. Last year the festival presented work by 5 local theatre companies, 3 national companies, and 3 international companies. Primary partnerships for last year’s festival included Aguijón Theatre Co., Repertorio Latino Theatre Co., Teatro Vista, Urban Theatre Co., and Water People Theatre, as well as Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Goodman Theatre, and Steppenwolf Theatre. Q1 What is the most important thing people should know about your work? Myrna Salazar: The Chicago Latino Theater Alliance (CLATA) is unique, because for the first time in Chicago, three of the most prominent and long-standing Latino arts and culture organizations joined forces to increase awareness of Latino Theater. CLATA was co-founded in 2016 by Executive Director, Myrna Salazar, Carlos Tortolero, National Museum of Mexican Art (NMMA), Pepe Vargas, International Latino Cultural Center (ILCC) and Carlos Hernandez, Puerto Rican Arts Alliance (PRAA) who collectively bring over 75 years of arts programming in Chicago.

  • PALACE in PLUNDERLAND Claire Bishop on the Shed
    SLANT PALACE IN PLUNDERLAND Claire Bishop on the Shed IT’S HARD THESE DAYS to stand out as a performance space in New York. Every arts venue in the city seems to be developing a hybrid visual art and performance pro- gram: the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and moma ps1, the Park Avenue Armory, Performance Space New York. Even the Metropolitan Museum of Art has a performing arts series. So what’s a new cultural venue to do? One idea is to make it really, really big—say, two hundred thousand square feet. Another might be to hire Diller Scofidio + Renfro to design an eye-catching structure with some kind of unusual architectural feature—like a telescoping glass outer shell that can extend to cover the nearby plaza and provide another seventeen thousand square feet of climate-controlled performance space. Welcome to the Shed, due to open next spring in Hudson Yards on the west side of Manhattan. View of “Prelude to The Shed,” New York, May 13, 2018. Photo: Iwan Baan. A third strategy for making an entrance into this already saturated field is to commission a manifesto that provides a historical rationale for your presence. To this end, German art historian Dorothea von Hantelmann implicit social contract that the audience will show up tion conventions in three key ways. First, it will over- has penned the essay “What Is the New Ritual Space for at a specified time and place to attend a performance, a come the primacy of the visual to accommodate what the 21st Century?” Published in May as a booklet to church service, a political event, etc.); the term museum, von Hantelmann calls an “interplay of gatherings”—in accompany the venue’s two-week preopening program, by contrast, designates experiences structured around other words, the institution will also present music, von Hantelmann’s text, a reflection on communal spaces “opening hours” (the agora, the shopping mall, the poetry, dance, theater, and so on.
