AURORA CONNECTS Season 3 Episode 2: Confronting and Dismantling Oppression (CDO) in Bay Area Theatre

This week on Aurora Connects, Josh and Dawn are joined by Ely Sonny Orquiza, Director of New Works and Development at Gritty City Repertory and creator of the BIPOC Living Doc; Z Space Patron & Community Engagement Manager Jordan Battle; and Rose Oser, Associate AD at Z Space. We'll learn more about the BIPOC Living Doc from Ely, including what led him to create the document and what has happened with the document since then. We'll also discuss trends in CDO work in the Bay Area theatre community, what people are doing individually and at institutions, what folks want to see, and what lessons are being taught and learned.
