                                               NATIONAL DIVERSITY FORUM

 

Opinion Pieces

             


Roundtables & Resource Events

                                                                                                           

The National Diversity Forum is comprised of two parts: 1) Opinion Pieces and 2) the edited transcripts of Internet and In-Person Roundtables and Resource Events. The Alliance’s goal is to build a picture of diversity and inclusion from the perspective of those who are working in theatre, film, and television throughout America, who are attempting to do so, or who have a particular expertise to offer. Ultimately, we seek to build an expanding group of leaders in the field committed to achieving diversity and inclusion both on and off stage, in our audiences and at every level of leadership, administration and production. 

Each Roundtable or Resource Event is identified and is self-explanatory. 

The Opinion Pieces represent a range of professionals – director, artistic director, actor, writer, designer, casting director, educator, administrator, activist, journalist –commenting on change experienced or witnessed with respect to diversity in recent years; giving one’s assessment of the current climate, attitudes and opportunities; identifying remaining barriers; and recommending what other organizations and/or individuals might do to alleviate these barriers. 

Please note that the views expressed here represent those of the writers and roundtable/resource event participants, respectively, and are not necessarily those of the Alliance for Inclusion in the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, or Screen Actors Guild-Producers Industry Advancement and Cooperative Fund.

This program is made possible by primary grants from  


Screen Actors Guild-Producers Industry Advancement and Cooperative Fund
