NYC Spotlight: There are a few days left to watch Pregones / PRTT’s production of Aloha Boricua. Based on the short story “Vivir del cuento” and the poetry of Manuel Ramos Otero, the show centers on the first mass migration of Puerto Ricans to Hawai’i following the 1898 hurricane San Ciriaco and military invasion. In-person performances are at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater in midtown.

que siempre vive por dentro
aunque lo ahoguen contigo”

So excited to share this Call for Proposals for the third iteration in the Applied Theatre series, to be published by Routledge 2024. Let's get our work documented. Feel free to share with other folxs doing great things with theatre in community.
CFP: Applied Theatre and Gender Justice (to be published by Routledge in 2024).
This collection of essays seeks to highlight the value and efficacy of applied theatre internationally to address issues of concern for gender marginalized groups: cis-women and girls, trans people, non-binary folx, and those who identity as female regardless of their assigned gender at birth. Performance provides a unique opportunity to work across institutions, disciplines, and communities to promote collective imagination, foster dialogue, generate knowledge-making, and prompt civic action. While the book focuses specifically on gender justice, we recognize that efforts are intersectional, such as race, disability rights or LGBTQ2S+ rights. In addition, we will consider how topics intersect with notions of masculinity. This book will document, amplify, and share lessons from practitioners and scholars who use performance (e.g., theatre, hip hop, dance, music, spoken word, ritual, performance art) to create models of collective solidarity, strengthen communities, and advocate for justice and equity. In keeping with adrienne maree brown’s concept of “pleasure activism,” we are especially interested in practices that embrace humor, playfulness, and joy.
Possible section topics include:
Gender and climate justice
Gender, healthcare, wellness, and reproductive rights
Gender and education
Gender in the workplace
LGBTQ2S+ identity and rights
Gender and racial justice
Gender and economic equity
Gender and peace efforts/conflict resolution
Gender and religion
Some questions this manuscript examines include:
● What is the benefit for participants of applied performance (artistically, socially, intellectually, emotionally)?
● What are some of the key challenges of doing this work (building trust with community, centering community voice, overcoming institutional barriers or marginalization within the university), and how to overcome them?
● What are key philosophical values or commitments that underpin the work?
● What ethical values are important? What are the ethical dilemmas?
● What alternative models for collaboration exist, whether among team leaders, community partners, or across different institutions?
Applied Theatre and Gender Justice follows a unique, interactive format that expands the discourse. The book is divided into thematic sections. Each section has a series of essays that prompts a conversation around a central topic, culminating with a round table discussion. Applied Theatre and Gender Justice is the third offering in the series Applied Theatre in Context; previous books in this series are Applied Theatre with Youth: Education, Engagement, Activism (2021) edited by Brenner, Ceraso, and Cruz and the forthcoming Applied Theatre & Racial Justice: Radical Imaginings for Just Communities edited by Eunice Ferreira and Lisa Biggs.
Please submit an abstract of 250 words maximum and a bio of 200 words maximum by Nov 1, 2022 to
[email protected]. For further information, email editors Lisa S. Brenner and Evelyn Diaz Cruz.
