Week 7

- What are the most important/significant ideas or elements outlined by Roberta and why?

Directorial diverse and educated directors working with a cast that represents the identity of what the text asks for. Lean away from political revolutionary pieces and refraining from the theatre trait to explain "the other" to tourists. Abstaining from multicultural aims and instead focusing on anti-racism.

- What are the implications or resonances of Uno's precepts in your own practice?

To have a position in any place of theatre, requires a social-cultural knowledge regarding the world of the piece and beyond. 

- What could be a metaphor or analogy for the kind of theater that Roberta Uno describes in this text?

Use the panini press to make paninis, not ice cream Sundays. (Wisely not art pour l'art)

- What questions came up as you were reading this piece?

Roberta references having children and in one instance, she mentions how directors of the new WORLD group became more credible when they had children. I believe that family emboldens experience and I would like to hear Roberta speak to that in greater depth.
