Consulting: The Big Learn

The Indie Theater Fund/IndieSpace in partnership with the League of Independent Theater (LIT), the NY Innovative Theater Awards (NYIT), and Partake Arts developed and launched The Big Learn-a series of Anti Racism trainings for independent theater makers and small companies. Our goal was to create space for anti-racist learning, training, and community healing that will address the needs of the large and diverse community of “downtown” and “indie” theatre artists living and working in New York City. These group trainings provided a place for individual artists that didn't have a home company to train with and/or for small companies without a budget for this type of work. This long term training included sessions lead by Coming to The Table and Nicole Brewer, as well as pod work, individual reading and assignments, and a lifetime membership to Coming to the Table's community sessions. This first round of training was graciously funded by the Lucille Lortel Foundation.
