Diversity and Inclusion Forum

 RIC Theatre students!

At 1pm this Friday (9/18/20), we will be gathering to discuss issues of Diversity and Inclusion in relationship to our program.

Interested students can access the meeting via the Zoom link listed below.

A little background: our industry, as well as our country, has also been undergoing a lot of reflection, examination, and change -- from the exposure of predatory and abusive behavior to the examination of the role that white supremacy has played in determining aesthetics, as well as hiring and rehearsal practices. 

This meeting will be the first of what we hope are regular meetings to discuss ideas and suggestions for moving our program forward towards a more inclusive and welcoming model for all. With that in mind, this meeting will be an exchange and sharing of experiences, suggestions, and hopes. The faculty will be present, mostly to listen, take notes, and absorb the information. Out of these exchanges, we can then move towards different sessions that can be more specifically focused (about, for example, course proposals, areas of interest, invited guest ideas, workshops, and events, etc., etc.)

In preparation for this gathering, you may wish to take a moment to consider:

What does a diverse inclusive experience mean for you and those in your community? What does inclusive mean?

In what ways has RIC both supported and fallen short of this experience? 

Can you imagine solutions or directions that we can take to move towards this goal?

This meeting is not open to the public; what you share in this meeting will be shared only with the participants of this discussion. 

Here is the Zoom link information:

October 3rd - socially distanced performance

Good Morning: 

The Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance is creating an in-person, outdoor, socially distanced performance for Homecoming Weekend on October 3, 2020 at 6:30 PM and at 8 PM. 

There will be an in-person rehearsal after 4 PM on the 2nd of October. Until then, most rehearsals will be via Zoom. 

For the event, 52 cars, having made previous reservations, will enter the RIC campus via Mt. Pleasant Ave. There will be musicians and actors lining College Road as the cars enter. Before the roundabout, the cars will be directed to make a large circle in parking lot A. an approximately 20 minute performance will take place in the center of the circle. 

The cars will be directed to exit lot A behind Sapinsley Hall and out the Fruit Hill college exit. A Choral video will be projected on the side of Alger Hall on the exit route. Along the journey there will be live saxophonists, live singing, live drumming and lots of lights. 

Please let us know if you are interested in being a part of this performance asap. We only have three weeks to put it together, but it promises to be an exciting event which should garner a lot of press in the area.
