Leading from the Inside Out: Identity, Framework, and the Future of Antiracist Theatre

What does it truly mean to lead from who you are and how does that shape the organizations and communities we build?
CAATA welcomes Nicole Brewer, faculty at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and originator of the Antiracist Theatre model for a candid conversation about the framework behind her groundbreaking new book.
The Antiracist Theatre: Crafting Theatrical Collaboration equips theatremakers with a foundational philosophy rooted in harm reduction, harm prevention, and relationship repair. But before any of that work can take root in our institutions, it has to take root in us.
In this conversation, Nicole moves through the questions she asks of leaders across the field:
Who are you? What do you carry? And how does your own relationship to power, privilege, and identity shape the cultures you create?
Her book offers tools for self-reflection and accountability and this dialogue extends that invitation into conversation, exploring what it looks like when leaders do the inner work that organizational change actually requires.
