0203: Bring Your Folding Chair: Equity, diversity, inclusion and opera - Part 2
Manage episode 232010939 series 2323843
"If they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” ~Shirley Chisholm
We take a moment to dream with members of the opera community across departments about what a more equitable, diverse and inclusive opera industry will look, feel, and sound like. Beyond that, we take a practical look at things that are working and things that perhaps still slow to change, and why.
This conversation is at the heart of Opera for All Voices.
This episode is part 2 of a 2-part exploration. If you haven't already go back one episode to 202: A Seat at the Table to meet the amazing members of our opera community who are part of this candid and intimate conversation:
Cayenne Harris, Vice President, Lyric Unlimited
Ben Taylor, Baritone
Terrence Chin-Loy, Tenor
Monique Gaffney, Wig & Makeup Artist
Melanie Bacaling, Stage Manager
Jason Lynch, Lighting Designer
Michael Ortiz, Assistant Technical Dir. at Santa Fe Opera
Madalyn Mentor, Artistic Coordinator at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis
Anh Le, Acting Director of Marketing & Public Relations at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis
June Kim, Development Associate at Santa Fe Opera
