Last weekend I was invited to conduct a workshop at the Femmes of Color Symposium & discuss my show, particularly my process. The idea was to SHARE MY SKILLS. I thought to myself, what do I have to share?
I sat down to think about this workshop, began going through my documents and jotting down "skills" I could share. And I realized I had plenty to share and focused on how I've been able to produce this show with very limited resources. I have years experience not only in theater but as an event coordinator. Combining those experiences has helped tremendously. But what has been the driving force is believing in this project and inviting others in the community to become apart of it.
Another benefit of conducting workshop was that I heard from the cast exactly how invested they were which touched me in a way I hadn't expected. This workshop was definitely a benefit for me.
Something that I told the attendees & the cast, that I'd like to share to those reading, is this: Stay true to your art, your creativity as much as possible and don't change your content to accommodate others. (My opinion, of course).
Peace, Kiki
