 I've always said that I imagine this convening as a, in the style of a family reunion. You know, when we come together to honor a particular thread of heritage, a particular thread of tradition, because we have a connection to one of our many surnames, and we're gathering around that right there. And when we go to a family gathering, one of the things that, and especially a family reunion, one of the great gifts is we get to meet people we didn't know we were connected to. Today, this institute's imposition is a manifestation of an intention, of an idea that was spoken, that was conceived and spoke in the loud of Anisa Portres and Lou Moreno back in 2013 in Boston, to which Brian Herrera committed himself, and along with Ben Garcia Romero, Vidalia Pumus, Georgina Escobar, and Abigail Vega, has led the way from taking this idea, this manifestation, this presence, all of us here together. And it's quite astonishing. As I really start to think about how we treat our visionaries, how we treat our visionaries, I read this little line, she's a visionary, and I really train other visionaries, and I really train other women or visionaries, and I really do feel like if we're going to talk about family, I really do think that we need to look to those visionaries and take care of them, and produce their work, and make sure that they're okay. Like, I always think about her voice when I teach, and she had a tiny little human-accented voice that was just as small as it was, it was fierce, so I think about all that energy that she brought with her into the teaching, into the classroom. I never studied with her, but I certainly was influenced by her work, and I think at that point in New York, she was certainly one of the most influential playwrights. I wish she still were, but she's a remarkable person in American theater.
