Cornell Interactive Theatre Ensemble (CITE)

Diversity and inclusion training that facilitates dialogue.

WHAT CITE DOES

CITE programs create safety around highly charged workplace issues, facilitating honest dialogue, self-awareness and organizational learning on four levels: personal, interpersonal, group and institutional/community.

CITE has the unique ability to take concepts of diversity and inclusion and make them real and personal for participant groups. Interactive theatre and facilitated dialogue from multiple points of view create a climate for participants that builds inclusion, fosters collaboration and gives participants knowledge and tools to take back to their own work environments.

All CITE scenarios are multi-dimensional, revealing not only the dynamics of particular diversity issues, but also the dynamics of humaninteraction around the issues.

Foreclosed was a collaboration between Temple Hoyne Buell Center, the School of Architecture at Columbia University, and NY’s Museum of Modern Art that created new tools around reimagining public housing, particularly in the economic and housing crises. The workshop and community engagement activities produced a pamphlet, screen play, website with comments from the workshop, and field guide to lead future conversations and engagements. Projects like this series open up a space for community, artists, and administrators to engage in dialogue that can further examine the issues around housing while also taking an active stance and creating content to be distributed.

The Kelly Strayhorn Theater believes that we build better communities by supporting the people who engage the world with a passionate creativity, generosity, and a deep vision for justice, connection and healing.

We’ve seen that communities thrive best when the creative leaders are connected to the community as more than a series of buildings, but rather with a network of people, spaces, memories and possibilities.

Penn Avenue Creative works with emerging artists, social change leaders and entrepreneurs to ignite transformative thought, build systems of connectivity and catalyze networks of cultural sustainability along the Penn Avenue Corridor.

Penn Avenue Creative offers emerging creative leaders network development, mentorship, sessions with field experts, and a project development stipend. How do you build better communities for all? You do it by supporting the people who work, dream and live in ways that answer that question, everyday. Penn Avenue Creative is a demonstration of Kelly Strayhorn Theater’s continued commitment to being, growing and developing that support in the East End.

William Estrada was born to immigrant parents and grew up assembling memories in California, Mexico, and Chicago. His teaching and art making practice focuses on engaging the complex experiences within marginalized communities and contested spaces. He documents and analyzes public/private learning spaces to transform, question, and make connections to established and organic systems through discussion, creation, and promotion of counter narratives.

William's work is a discourse of existing images, text, and politics that appoints the audience to critically re-examine the meanings of their surroundings. As a teacher, artist, cultural worker, and urban anthropologist he reports, records, reveals, and imparts experiences you find in academic books, school halls, teacher lounges, kitchen tables, barrios, college campuses, and in the conversations of close friends.

His current research is focused on developing community based and culturally relevant programs that question power structures of race, economy, and cultural access.

Through the activation of public spaces around the world, artist Candy Chang creates work that examines the dynamics between society and the psyche, the threshold between isolation and community, and the role of the commons in contemporary wellbeing. She is interested in the relationship between public space and mental health, the tension between individual liberty and social cohesion, and a city that exposes and fosters the complexity of the individual and collective psyche.

Evan Bissell facilitates participatory art and research projects that support equitable systems and liberatory processes. Projects take varied forms: an interactive online history of freedom and confinement in the United States told through 50 miniature paintings (knottedline.com), poster installations and community surveys about broken windows policing in the Bronx, and collaborative, life-size portrait paintings created with incarcerated fathers and children of incarcerated parents. Evan has exhibited at CUNY Graduate Center, on Alcatraz Island, at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Intersection for the Arts, and SOMArts, and facilitated projects in schools (K-12) and community settings throughout the country.
