The Art of Teaching Theatre: Who Needs Stuff to Make Drama?

Throughout the school year, we are asking Los Angeles educators for their most inspiring and essential ideas for teaching and integrating theatre in the classroom. If you’re a local educator with a passionate and innovative approach to working with students or a self-growth strategy to share with colleagues, pitch your blog idea to Education...

Do Your Objects Own You, Or Do You Own Your Objects?

Last year, Americans spent over $27 billion to rent the 2.5 billion square feet of self-storage that blanket the nation—that’s more cash than the NFL, NBA, and MLB made last year, and enough square footage to cover Downtown Los Angeles 15 times over. But how many of us feel like we have what we need? And need what we have? These are the qu...

A Small Gesture, a Powerful Honoring: Floating Lights after ‘Bent’

“Rituals are perhaps the oldest...members of the performance family. Their business in society is to effect transformations that cannot otherwise be brought about.”—Tom F. Driver, Liberating Rites: Understanding the Transformative Power of Ritual...

In the Community: Leimert Park is Excited About Cultural Exchange

After I started my work as the Leimert Park community liaison for Center Theatre Group’s Through the Looking Glass, I quickly learned that people were excited to be involved in a project that could help dispel myths about their South Los Angeles neighborhood—and the people who dwell there. They were also clearly excited to learn about the...

Why Is ‘Bent’ More Relevant Than Ever?

On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage, a landmark decision for gay and lesbian Americans. Exactly a month later on July 26, Bent opened at the Mark Taper Forum in its first major U.S. revival.

In the Community: Connecting Boyle Heights Residents to ‘Popol Vuh: Heart of Heaven’

When I first got hired to be a community liaison for Center Theatre Group’s Popol Vuh: Heart of Heaven project in collaboration with El Teatro Campesino, I Googled “liaison.” I had heard the word before, but I wanted to know what it meant and what my job would entail. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a “liaison” is “a p...

In the Community: Going Home to Make Theatre

Boyle Heights has a special place in my heart. My mother was born and raised there, and I lived there for three years until I made a huge exodus to New York City that lasted 13 years.

Art, Inspiration, and Awkwardness at Your Story Onstage

I didn’t really know anything about Girlfriend before seeing the show at the Kirk Douglas Theatre. Based off of the poster, my presumption was that Girlfriend narrated a “bromance” between two college-aged guys whose relationship was rooted in video games and Domino’s pizza. I figured that the mentioning of one’s girlfriend was someh...

Writing My Own Story at Your Story Onstage

I have never considered myself much of a writer. For most of my life, I focused my time on the performance side of art, never really considering trying out a different medium to express my voice. As artists, we are told to use our work to express what we have trouble saying, to help heal society, and to make people talk about and face the trou...
