What are the most important/significant ideas or elements outlined by Roberta and why?
It’s about difference, getting out of the way, concentric circles and the further margin, working with given circumstances, taking small steps, commitment to the unknown, relevance, go there, it’s not about the money: lead with the art, and imagine the future are her main principles.
Acknowledging our differences are vital to truly serving the community and not overlooking or underserving any part of the community.
Take a step back before volunteering yourself for a project. Do you have experience with what the work is trying to tell? Should you instead help in another way and let someone else better equipped for the job do it?
Approach work with truth, instead of polarizing labels like majority/minority, black/white, gay/straight, and it will impact everyone with its power. Be aware of who is not being heard.
- What are the implications or resonances of Uno's precepts in your own practice?
Take care of yourself and others. Rushing doesn't provide community or trust or team building. Time does. -- This is something I struggle with. I don't take time for myself. Neither do any of the people I work with because we all focus not he work. But inspiration rarely comes form tight schedules and tension. Taking time would be wise.
Don’t wait for money. Be your own entrepreneur. -- I really would love to create my own work or be there to support the other artists around me, but I don't feel like I have the funds to be able to.
Sometimes you do have to make the jump and keep working until. the situation changes.
Make space for others to be heard. -- Traditional Eurocentric stories have been told and are still majority of what is being told. Give the microphone to everyone else.
- What could be a metaphor or analogy for the kind of theater that Roberta Uno describes in this text?
When I was reading this text, I kept thinking of the children's story of the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race.
