by Aseelah Shareef 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

CALL TO PLAYWRIGHTS Racial – Equity - Inclusion I. Information Statement of Purpose Considering America’s current social climate following the murder of George Floyd, there is a thirst for deeper learning and racial understanding. As well, there is an opportunity for relevant, engaging and creative offerings to identify and unravel systemic racism while working to build cross racial, social, trust. Karamu House has been at the forefront, answering the call to address social justice issues through theatrical offerings aimed to celebrate, educate and activate communities across the country. Karamu will create new virtual productions to support existing corporate programming initiatives under the umbrella of racial equity, inclusion, diversity and belonging (REIDB). Karamu requests playwrights submit 7–10-minute monologues, scenes or vignettes that illuminate racial equity issues based on lived experience. Each piece should offer authentic and complex perspectives of BIPOC (Black, indigenous, people of color) navigating a society entrenched in systemic racism and oppression. Goals Project goals: 1. Curate meaningful and impactful (theatrical) experiences to support racial equity, inclusion, diversity and belonging. 2. Stimulate fresh and enlightened perspectives about race that identify and unravel systemic racism. 3. Activate and empower participants to cultivate relationships that lead to social trust (e.g., voting in the interests of others, taking intentional action on behalf of other racial groups etc.). II. Guidelines and Considerations * Writings may be based upon 1) Personal experience or the experience of a family member, acquaintance, or friend. 2) Playwright’s knowledge of and/or research to learn more about one or more of the topic areas listed above (i.e., racial equity, inclusion, diversity and belonging). 3) Based solely upon the playwright’s imagination. * The piece will be used in one or more of the following formats: live (in person) performances, live (zoom or virtual) or pre-recorded performances and used as part of a workshop to educate through theatre, meaning the emphasis here is on the words, the director’s vision, and the actor(s) ability to tell your story. * Please ensure that pieces are between 7-10-minutes. * Playwrights should understand that the virtual production is a Karamu original creation. All intellectual property rights for movement, text, song, interpretation, and all other elements associated with the creation and performance of the piece will be the intellectual property of Karamu House. * If Playwright’s final submission is selected for use, the Playwright will be compensated $250.00 upon signing an agreement and $250 following receipt of the final draft. * The Playwright understands that Karamu House will have exclusive rights as the producer of said submission. * The Playwright understands that Karamu will have rights as the sole producer to use the selected submission(s) as stand-alone vignettes or tied together with other submissions when necessary. * Playwright shall receive billing credit in all programs related to the piece including digital and printed as contributing writer. III. Submission Submissions should be emailed to: submissions(a)karamuhouse.org<mailto:submissions@karamuhouse.org>. Please use the following email subject line: Racial Equity – First + Last Name. Submissions must be received by 5:30 PM on April 30, 2021. No telephone calls, please.

The new New Deal
by Bob Abelman 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

The new New Deal: Government relief offers lifeline to performing arts community Bob Abelman CJN/Columnist Between 1933 and 1943, during the depths of the Great Depression and into the early years of World War II, federal tax dollars employed artists and craft workers of various media and with varying levels of experience, and kept them from poverty and despair. In addition to providing relief, the New Deal’s Federal Art Project and other government-sponsored art programs promoted American art and culture by giving more Americans access to what President Franklin D. Roosevelt decorously labeled “an abundant life.” It enabled Americans all across the country to see an original painting for the first time, attend their first professional live theater or dance production, or take their first music or drawing class. An enormous volume of public art intended for education and civic engagement – including 2,500 murals and 18,000 sculptures – was created without restriction to content or subject matter and put on display. “Artists have been given something more precious than their daily bread,” said social critic Lewis Mumford at the time. “(They have received) the knowledge that their work has a destination in the community.” The public art of the New Deal reflected a vast array of traditions and cultures that served not only to celebrate the nation’s diversity but to reflect and build a common, collective national identity through art. Never before or since has our government so extensively supported and sponsored the arts. Until now.

Strongsville High School presents The Little Mermaid Jr.
by Jeremy Jenkins 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

THE LITTLE MERMAID WILL BECOME A “PART OF YOUR WORLD”! Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. will be streaming via ShowTix4U on Friday April 23<x-apple-data-detectors://0> and Saturday April 24 at 7pm<x-apple-data-detectors://1>. It is based on the 2008 Broadway production and the 1989 animated feature film. The cast contains 35+ SHS students along with 10+ students working backstage. This classic Disney title contains all of the songs from the Academy Award® winning animated feature film as well as three new songs from the Broadway show. THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. takes place in a magical kingdom beneath the sea, where a beautiful young mermaid named Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, the king of the sea, escape the clutches of an evil sea witch and convince a prince that she’s the girl with the perfect voice. Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID JR. is a scheduled content property meaning it had to be pre-recorded and edited for a specific, timed viewing. Students worked tirelessly for two months to bring this together. Rehearsals and filming were scheduled based on the seven set locations, so students got a sneak peek at what it is like to film a movie. Students also recorded their vocals individually and each voice was layered for each track, similar to a true album recording. After recording, the final product will be edited together. * You may purchase tickets by visiting https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/49257 * Streaming tickets are $15 + a processing fee. * You must purchase tickets ahead of tim and sign in by 7pm<x-apple-data-detectors://4> on the assigned date to view the stream. There is no open window for viewing. * Each ticket purchase is per device (i.e. you can only view on one device). If you have any questions, please contact Jeremy Jenkins (jjenkins(a)scsmustangs.org<mailto:jjenkins@scsmustangs.org>). Sent from my iPhone
