What was the first TYA play that youremember seeing?

My first live theater experience was Pippin on Broadwaywith the original cast: Ben Vereen, Jill Clayburgh, IreneRyan. It changed my life.

Biggest career mentors?

Biggest career mentors in terms of our outreach workwith kids are Laura Anderson Barbata and The BrooklynJumbies. I saw their work with kids and saw how theywere having such a tremendous impact on kids livesby showing them a skill that raises their self-esteem,gets them moving, and teaches them about othercultures.

NEWSDRAMATIC CHANGE PRE-CONFERENCE

In a first-ever joint collaboration, the American Alliance for Theatreand Education and Theatre for Young Audiences USA have cometogether to create DRAMATIC CHANGE: An Anti-Bullying Initiative. Webelieve that we as theatre artists, scholars and educators are uniquelywell-positioned to make a difference in the landscape of bullying. Weknow that theatre and its techniques allow participants the opportunityto explore, challenge and examine social issues and topics through afictional fourth-wall, but with a real look at the life changingconsequences. With our national communities of playwrights,producing theatre companies, teaching artists, researchers, classroom teachers and dramaspecialists, our mandate is to tackle the epidemic of bullying in all its complexity, in ways thatonly the theatre arts can.

This pre-conference will go in-depth, exploring performances, interactive applied theatre models,lesson plans, and media resources to raise the awareness needed to empower our youth to makechanges toward reaching a more civil society that celebrates our differences rather thanexploiting them. The day-long event will feature interactive workshops from highly respectedtheatre programs from around the country allowing participants access to the best anti-bullying



theatre work available.
