With $1,635,000 in support from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ddcf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Doris Duke Charitable Foundation<\/a>, TCG is working in partnership with an Advisory Circle of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2021\/05\/the-black-list-black-films-featured-at-the-2021-tribeca-film-festival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BIPOC<\/a>) to craft a program that will include regranting, leadership development, convening, and widespread dissemination of learnings. At the core of this program is a call for emergent, complex thinking to help BITOC thrive and reach their highest potential, with opportunities for reflection and collective action. The THRIVE! Program is launching as part of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/circle.tcg.org\/events\/thrive2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">THRIVE! Week<\/a>, a virtual convening from June 7-11 with programming by, for, and about theatre makers who identify as BIPOC, POC, or People of the Global Majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cW.E.B. Du Bois defined Black Theatre as about, by. for, and near Black people. In that spirit, TCG defines BITOC as those who make theatre by, for, about, with, and near communities of color,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Emilya Cachapero,<\/strong>&nbsp;director of artistic &amp; international programs, TCG. \u201cTHRIVE! will build on the long legacies of these theatres to create BITOC-specific programs, connect BITOC to equitable funding from grantmakers, and bring national visibility to and support for the ingenuity of BITOC.\u201d<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in emergent partnership with BIPOC leaders, THRIVE! will have three main areas of activity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Grantmaking:<\/strong> The program will provide rapid response grants to address immediate conditions as well as larger unrestricted grants to empower BITOC to self-determine areas of their programming and operations that are most in need of funds. Field Conversations with BITOC and BIPOC community leaders will be held early in the program activity period to inform the grant program&#8217;s structure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Convening:<\/strong> The experiences of BITOC and BIPOC communities will be centered in THRIVE! Convening programming to uplift their leadership and wisdom, which is not regularly shared with the field at large.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dissemination:<\/strong> TCG will disseminate learnings and ideas to the U.S. theatre field and beyond through&nbsp;<em>American Theatre<\/em>&nbsp;magazine, the TCG Circle, convenings like TCG\u2019s National Conference, and other online and in-person platforms. Additionally, BIPOC who are not yet theatre journalists or critics but who exhibit the talent for and interest in writing for the field will be invited to participate as contributing writers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cBITOC have made vital contributions to their communities and to the entirety of our theatre ecology in spite of pernicious racist inequities in funding,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Teresa Eyring<\/strong>, executive director and CEO, TCG. \u201cWe believe that when these barriers are removed, and BITOC have equitable access to fully realize their potential, our field will truly thrive.\u201d&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>TCG will work  closely with an Advisory Circle of BIPOC theatre leaders and representatives of BITOC throughout the life of the program will ensure that the components are relevant and useful. Advisory Circle members include: <strong>Andrea Assaf,<\/strong>&nbsp;Founding Artistic Director, art2action;&nbsp;<strong>Miranda Gonzalez<\/strong>, Producing Artistic Director, Urban Theatre;&nbsp;<strong>Andre Harrington<\/strong>, Professor of Design at California State University, San Bernardino;&nbsp;<strong>Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley<\/strong>, Artistic Director, KC Melting Pot Theater and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cThese extraordinary times call for new thinking, revitalized structures and deepened commitments,\u201d said&nbsp;<strong>Maurine Knighton<\/strong>, program director for the arts at the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. \u201cThe foundation applauds TCG\u2019s active partnership with theater leaders from the communities they intend to benefit, and we are pleased to support their collective efforts.\u201d<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation&#8217;s mission is to improve the quality of people&#8217;s lives through grants supporting the performing arts, environmental conservation, medical research and child well-being, and through preservation of the cultural and environmental legacy of Doris Duke&#8217;s properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the program, click here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/circle.tcg.org\/resources\/edi\/thrive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/circle.tcg.org\/resources\/edi\/thrive<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theatre Communications Group (TCG) recently announced the launch of&nbsp;THRIVE!, a regranting program to provide unrestricted funds and professional development and technical assistance for U.S.- based Black Theaters, Indigenous Theaters, and all Theaters of Color (BITOC).
