 Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you all for joining us today for build fool's fury digital convening on the future of ensemble theater day to new models and a new era economic justice. We begin with a land acknowledgement crafted by the build team and shared with you by some of us. Thank you very much to Adrian Marie Wong of spider web show and Dr. H. Heracuti Sharif Williams of CUNY racial justice performance conference. Since our activities are shared digitally. Let's take a moment to consider the legacy of colon colonization embedded within our technological structures, including the equipment and high speed internet which are not available to many indigenous communities. Even the technologies that are central to much of the art we make leaves significant carbon footprints contributing to changing climates disproportionately affect indigenous peoples worldwide. We invite you to join us in acknowledging all this as well as our shared responsibility to make good of this time and for each of us to consider our roles in reconciliation and decolonization. We acknowledge that settler colonizers and slavers from Europe use stolen and enforced labor of African people to subsequently develop the land. We honor the lives of all who endured and continue to endure in the face of settler colony colonialism and white supremacy. Thank you very much. Thank you all for helping us to begin. Well, this land acknowledgement was inspired by several different texts, calling up justice collects them, and then our amazing build team made this bespoke land acknowledgement from all of those pieces. The land acknowledgement we did yesterday was different than the one we did today. We will be happy to share some of the inspiring texts via the chat later on in the show. Thank you so much. I also just want to say a shout out to our gorgeous audience. Hello. Hello, audience. Hi there. You are audiences right now inside the hop and to platform we see you I'm watching your I see Emma asking for that copy of the land acknowledgement which is why I shouted it out. I'm seeing y'all in the Facebook. Thank you how how round for live streaming and some of us are here in the zoom presenters are here in the zoom room and later on in the afternoon we're going to invite some of y'all who are registered participants who are hanging out in our awesome hop and to platform. We're going to invite you to join us in the zoom for those workshops. We did this yesterday we're going to do it again. There's so many fun things that we got to do yesterday together and Dabora is going to share some of those. We want to make sure you take advantage of the networking section the Expo section and all of the different ways to engage with each other and with us. Dabora how you doing this morning. Hey good morning good morning everybody so so grateful to be here with you all happy Sunday morning. We have such a lineup for you. I want to remind you please put your land acknowledgement in the chat. Where are you coming from the territory on which you are calling in. Great say hello to your mates out here wherever you're calling from and we do have people calling from Ireland, England, Korea, all of those. So come on in and and and give us your acknowledgements. I want to invite you get to know your hop and platform. We have a one on one chats that you can do, especially at the lunchtime and other other times, you can actually do like a meeting roulette one on one. Once again my name is Dabora Eleazar, and I'm the artistic director of fool's fury theater it's so great to have you with us for build from here, the future of ensemble theater. I also want to invite people to the digital altar. This is a wonderful way to participate in the community ritual of grief and loss. You just go to the page. You can share on Expo, and you, my fabulous interns will put some instructions in the chat, and you don't even have to be in the hopping platform to participate, and you can place your own thoughts, comments, songs, media into this digital altar so that we can continue to grow the ritual of how we move forward. Even as we are acknowledging how we feel right now. My friends, we did a lot yesterday I can't believe we're already at day two. Oh my gosh, we started off with a beautiful video on grief and loss, honoring people, people made submissions of who and what they had lost. That happened yesterday and we opened that up thank you Adam Astral to ran for that beautiful collaboration with calling up justice and the network of ensemble theater. And then we had the amazing keynote speaker Christina Wong. Oh my gosh she was just, she was even questioning like where is here for building from here where are we. I mean just amazing. We really brought it and and we just love Christina so much. Then we fall went into our anti racist action circles, we had a black indigenous POC affinity circles, and we had an anti racist action circle for white folks and white adjacent folks and we got some work done. So, moved on to all of our amazing art shares. Friends, we have art shares throughout the day. So we're not just talking at you we have panels we have workshops, and we have these beautiful postcards from the mark from the ensemble field, which are artists from the fury factory that Gladly volunteered said yes we I will jump on the build format and we created this new way of presenting a little snapshot of where these artists are, what they're doing now and what is the future of ensemble theater. They are amazing work. So and they're all incredibly different. So, and it's all negotiating the nature of liveness. So, some are live some are asynchronous media. Some are a mixture. Really take a look because we are making the future right now. We followed that up. All those art shares also with a field wide aesthetic equity conversation led by the amazing Allison Dela Cruz and Claudia, and sponsored by the network of ensemble theater. And we finished it out we put a whole bow on the day by doing a networking with in our digital expo booths of our service organizations. Let's not forget that we had an amazing panel of our culturally specific alliances. Oh my gosh, there is so much beautiful work happening. You know, so just take a look at the schedule there. What have we got going on. Claudia maybe you can join with me in asking some of these questions. I'll do a first couple here today is all about new models in a new era. Economic justice, right. How are we innovating new models of working together that are more equitable. How have the choices we've made break or uphold societal norms. How can we examine if the nonprofit industrial complex is still serving us or if it ever has. We are asking how can we hold ourselves and each other in the state of grace and moving forward together we're asking so many questions about the racial wealth divide we're asking how can we rebuild this better together. Now, as we are transitioning into our next pieces, like I said, we have got an amazing team of our house staff, they're working the chats they're in the chat in the Facebook they're in the chat in the hop into the leaving helping on the chat in the zoom. If you have any accessibility needs, please name them and we will share them in the chat. Of course we're working in not the best financial circumstances so we were not able to afford to have this event live fully captioned and sign interpreted we were able to have our keynote sweet sign interpreted yesterday and we will be making sure all sorts of pieces of this convening are available asynchronously, and that will be captioned. If you have any questions or needs throughout the show for your access needs please name them in the chat. Also, if you have any access needs in terms of figuring out how to get to the networking session, or the expo session, you just let us know in the chat we got you. Now it is my great pleasure. Oh, I should also remind you all if you're going to the workshop for economic justice. Make sure you're the common sense workshop, make sure you bring some stuff to make some art because it's going to be we're artists. We're also going to be doing math, and we're going to be getting some real clarity about how to make our lives a little bit better on this wealth of race divide but also bring a notebook, bring an instrument bring something because it's going to have some art in it. And of course, if you can, please support bull's fury by donating a link will be put in the chat. Now it is my great pleasure to introduce the art share with Ryan Hill, Marzipanik and Sandbox Theater, Anita Hollander, November productions and Jenny McAllister of 13th floor.
