If actors are going to be held criminally liable for trusting a prop master or AD, @sagaftra and @ActorsEquity need to immediately issue new guidelines giving actors the right to refuse handling any functioning weapon without losing a job.

@wperrondancemag @DanspaceProject @TrishaBrown @judsonchurchnyc I look at the image and am reminded that exploring and investigating dance and movement was once fun and gave me joy. Now I am a professional and it is my career and it can feel like a chore. Then I didn’t know what it all meant or where it would lead me. I just had fun.

[SDC | Stage Directors and Choreographers Society @SDCweb]

SDC mourns the passing of Member Sir Peter Brook. In the Winter 2015 SDC Journal, he said, “the lesson of theatre is that everything that has meaning takes place in the present. And that is the only thing.” May we honor you and the work you made in the present and beyond.

Y’all. Colombia just elected its first Black vice president, Francia Márquez. She ran with Gustavo Petro, the country’s new and first left wing president.

The United States we know today was built with the labor of enslaved Black Americans. The last were not freed (officially) until 19 June 1865. Let us celebrate— and never forget.
