The New Agit Prop
American Repertory Theatre
By: A.R.T - Sep 01, 2021
Harvard's American Repertory Theatre has announced the fall season.
It was a long and richly detailed press release. The following embedded statement seemed out of context with information about the coming season.
Extracted it indicates the evolution of cutting edge contemporary theater.
The answer my friends is blowin' in the wind.
VALUES
We hold the institution and each other responsible and accountable for living our shared values. There is no hierarchy to these values; they are all equally important and interrelated. We acknowledge that as an institution we must devote time to implementing and sustaining these values:
We center anti-racism
Habituate anti-racist practices in our policies, structure and culture.
We lead with inquiry
Ask questions in a spirit of brave curiosity in our never-ending journey of learning and growth
We believe in collaboration
Work together with trust and respect to unlock collective creativity
We practice adaptability
Challenge assumptions and create capacity to support “next” practices
We embrace regenerative practice
Promote the health and vitality of our planet, our organization, and each other
