Voices from the Black That I Am

Synopsis:
Voices from the Black That I Am is a theatrical meditation of questions on issues of blackness, gender, sexuality, and nationalism. It is the personal journey of a black Caribbean immigrant navigating various foreign territory and feeling attached and non-attached througout. Each monologue is intended to underscore and steer the audience off course from the main poetic narrative... a narrative constantly embodying Sankofa: looking back to go forward.

What's in a Name?

Synopsis:
What's in a name? Shakespeare's Juliet struggled with that question when she was coming to terms with her forbidden love for a man who was her family's enemy. This year the theatre Askew Youth Performance Experience (TAYPE) program invited ten young people representing the entire spectrum of the LGBTQA community to ponder that same question. For some, who they love or how they express their gender is no big deal. For others, the struggle to gain acceptance is as fraught as the one faced by Shakespeare's young lovers. But for all of them, the quest to define who they are, to NAME themselves, is an ongoing project. And it's not just about who you love. How does the straight world label or stereotype us? How do LGBT people do the same thing? What does it mean to affix a label to another person? Through improvisations, physical exercises, writing assignments, and visual art, the TAYPE ensemble explored these questions and others. Out of all of these emerged this play.
