The 2019 TCG National Conference

Theatre Communications Group presented their 2019 National Conference livestreamed from Miami, Florida on the global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv from Tuesday 4 June to Saturday 8 June 2019.

From 5-7 June 2019, TCG will convene nearly 1,000 theatre makers in Miami, each one looking to manage their relationship to ever-present change: in their art, their institutions, and their communities. What can our field, which has long prided itself on its adaptability, learn from a city like Miami, which reinvents itself with each passing decade, neighborhood, and hurricane season? At this year’s National Conference, against the backdrop of Miami’s plurality of global cultures and artistic disciplines, we will focus intently on three programmatic areas: Audience and Community Engagement as part of our continuing Audience (R)Evolution initiative; Well-being and Wellness; and Theatre Journalism. As part of and in parallel to these areas, we will also address our field’s most pressing issues, from the evolving landscape of fundraising, to organizational culture, to leadership development, all while nurturing our field’s growing commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Our Conference community will engage with thought leaders from within and beyond the arts to grapple with our own true constant: the challenge of adapting and sustaining our organizations and our work in times of great change.

Livestream schedule subject to change.

TCG invites you to join with education colleagues across the country to explore three major themes: 1) Youth Voice and Empowerment; 2) #MeToo and Education - How do we protect young people in our theatres?; and 3) Trauma-informed care.

Inclusion and Empowerment of Youth Voices

How do we incorporate young people in our planning and programs? Beyond teen councils, how are we making decisions with them and taking into account what they need? The world is rapidly changing and theatre education departments are on the front lines in developing and sustaining partnerships with community organizations and providing training for young people. To what extent are youth being given decision-making involvement? How are education departments being intentional about the inclusion of youth voices? 

Safety of Youth in our Theatres

How safe are young people in our theatres? At last year’s National Conference in St. Louis in TCG’s Town Hall on sexual misconduct in the field, several young adults shared their experiences with harassment in early experiences working at theatres. What policies do theatres have in place around anti-harassment? How do those policies specifically address working with students, and early career or young or vulnerable adults? Do these youth policies/procedures/trainings go beyond the education staff in our institutions? How is the entire theatre staff made aware of their responsibilities to young people? Are there emergency management plans in place? There are so many types of education programs that go beyond interactions with education staff such as job shadowing, internships, summer programs, watching rehearsals, special events, student matinees, classes, etc. How can we make sure that theatre’s culture, beyond the confines of individual education departments, doesn’t condone harassment and/or silence survivors, and facilitates a field-wide understanding of our responsibilities to each other, and to young and vulnerable adults and students.

Trauma-Informed Care

What is the role of theatre education departments in determining and harnessing the healing capabilities of the arts? How can theatres develop and utilize a Social Emotional Learning curriculum and trauma-informed pedagogy to better align with our values and better serve our communities? Various programs will be explored, including Cleveland Playhouse’s theatre education program, CARE, which draws on lessons from social emotional learning theories, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based literacy learning for grades K-8. CARE was also designed to improve school culture and safety, as well as the development of theatre skills.

Finally, in all of these areas, how do we centralize students’ voices, safety, and identify the tools we need to engage with the trauma that our students face in the world today, and prepare them for what they may face in the future? How do we talk about race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and socio-economics in this work? What are the action steps for education programs that move us in that direction?

Welcome and Keynote
6 a.m. - 7:15 a.m. PDT (San Francisco, UTC-7) / 8 a.m. - 9:15 a.m. CDT (Chicago, UTC-5) / 9 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. EDT (Miami, UTC-4)

What is the role of theatre education departments in determining and harnessing the healing capabilities of the arts? This will be a professional development information session that defines and reveals more about trauma and how it presents itself in the classroom and how trauma affects brain chemistry. What practices should you put in place? How can theatres develop and utilize a Social Emotional Learning curriculum and trauma-informed pedagogy to better align with our values and better serve our communities? Cleveland Playhouse’s theatre education program staff will guide us through this session and share information about CARE, which draws on lessons from social emotional learning theories, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based literacy learning for grades K-8. CARE was also designed to improve school culture and safety, as well as the development of theatre skills.

Facilitators will share more about adverse childhood experiences and the impact of trauma on a child’s daily functioning and behavior. We will introduce trauma-informed care, its impact on students, and how teaching artists and administrators can support the use of the arts to address childhood trauma.

In a landscape ignited by new leadership, the desire to reach new audiences and an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion value system, how do we evolve our economic models to support innovative work?

This session is open to those currently engaging in cultural exchange and/or producing international work, as well as anyone interested in either in the future - no experience necessary.

As large publishing institutions continue to cut back on theatre coverage, critics and the theatres they write about are finding new ways to break free from traditional formats. From empowering audiences as journalists, to developing collectives that increase coverage and amplify underrepresented voices, to providing crowd- and community-sourced platforms to ensure robust conversation, this breakout will focus on new platforms and approaches for writing -- and sharing writing -- about the theatre. Do these innovative modes of connectivity, which provide more ways for audiences and artists to access writing about the work while broadening the number of voices that are invited to comment on it, herald a new era in the ecosystem of theatre journalism?

Join the inaugural cohort of the SPARK Leadership program launched by TCG in 2014 as they look back on the groundwork laid by their professional development experience, their career trajectories, and what it’s like to navigate predominantly white spaces as executive leaders and artists of color. The cohort will engage with moderator and program leader Emilya Cachapero, on sustaining your support network, confronting bias/unconscious bias in the workplace, representation, and mentoring future generations of leaders. The SPARK leaders will share case studies of what has worked in their professional careers and how the SPARK experience is what is needed to foster a national movement to preserve and invest in the development of aspiring executive leaders of color. The session will include time for small break out discussions and time for attendees to ask questions of the cohort.

The From the Ground Up podcast seeks to find out how ensemble-based work is sustainable by interviewing artists, grant seekers, funders, and more from across the country about how the art is made and paid for.

This session will digest the ideas learned over a year of podcasting while making space to discuss how ensembles find reciprocal partnerships with theaters as well as other arts/non-profit institutions (community organizations, regional theatres, and other presenting spaces) in order that they might extend the life of their work and the work in their life.
