  • Check out this remarkable street art mural project organized by our partners at the @billieholidaytheatre: “Inspired by the public art piece in Washington D.C. and those happening across the country, more than 20 Brooklyn-based artists created New York City’s first Black Lives Matter street art mural yesterday in the Bed-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. Organized by The Billie Holiday Theatre, theater home to the largest African American community in the nation, and Council Member Robert E. Cornegy, Jr., the massive mural now spans Fulton Street between Marcy Avenue and Brooklyn Avenue, which now, as recently announced by NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, will be a pedestrians-only block for the duration of the summer.” #blacklivesmatter #blackarts #billieholidaytheatre

  • We are pleased to announce the appointment of Anita Dashiell-Sparks as Artistic Director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at the Stella Adler Center for the Arts. Please click the link in our bio to read more. Ms. Dashiell-Sparks's work with the center will also impact the Stella Adler Studio in New York and the Art of Acting Studio in Los Angeles. Artistic Director Tom Oppenheim met Ms. Dashiell-Sparks in 2010 as the studio was building the Art of Acting Studio in Los Angeles. In his search for superb faculty, she was recommended as one of the best in the nation. In the spring of 2019, Tom and Anita conceived of this new position and ways to share her experience as an artist, educator, EDI practitioner, and community outreach advocate to enrich the center’s community. Last week we promised "that we won’t rest until we multiply our energies to utilize theater and education to combat systemic racism". We wrote that with full recognition that it will take work, lots of work. We are ready to do that work. The appointment of Ms. Dashiell-Sparks and the creation of this new position are an important part of that effort. #anitadashiellsparks #stellaadler #diversity
