| EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING INCLUDES: | - MU EXPLORATIONS SUMMER CAMP. EACH SUMMER MU HOLDS A MULTIPLE-WEEK THEATER INTENSIVE FOR STUDENTS ENTERING GRADES 3-12. PARTICIPANTS HONE PERFORMANCE SKILLS WITH PROFESSIONAL ASIAN AMERICAN THEATER EDUCATORS, AND CREATE SHOWCASES AND PERFORMANCES FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. FOR MANY PARTICIPANTS, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY COULD SEE A PLACE FOR THEMSELVES IN AMERICAN THEATER, LEARNING ABOUT AND CREATING ART IN AN AAPI AFFINITY SPACE. - MU STORIES. DESIGNED FOR GRADES 3-12, THESE PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED THROUGH DIVERSE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND WEEKEND LANGUAGE SCHOOLS. FOCUSING ON BASIC THEMES INCLUDING IDENTITY, RACISM, IMMIGRATION, ASSIMILATION, GENDER EQUITY, FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND RELATIONSHIPS, THESE CLASSES WITH EXPERIENCED AAPI ARTISTS INCLUDE PLAY, THEATER GAMES, PHYSICAL WARM-UPS, AND IMAGINATION EXERCISES. PERSONAL STORIES AND EXPERIENCES ARE SHARED AND WRITTEN INTO PLAYS PERFORMED FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IN THE END, STUDENTS HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH ACTING, WRITING, AND PRODUCING PLAYS, AS WELL AS SHARING THEIR STORIES AND FINDING THEIR VOICES. MANY TEACHERS HAVE EXPRESSED THAT FORMERLY SILENT STUDENTS WERE ACTIVE AND ENGAGED AFTER PARTICIPATION. - MU TRAINING INSTITUTE. MU TRAINING INSTITUTE (MTI) OFFERS SELF-DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES DESIGNED FOR WORKING AND ASPIRING BIPOC ARTISTS (16+). TOPICS CAN INCLUDE THEATER COURSES, INTENSIVE ACTING WORKSHOPS, AND DRAMATIC LITERATURE IN THE ASIAN AMERICAN CANON. WE SHINE THE SPOTLIGHT ON BIPOC-LED THEATER BY CREATING A NURTURING SPACE FOR INDIVIDUALS TO LEARN BY TAKING RISKS AND BEING OPEN, IN A SUPPORTIVE ARTISTIC ENVIRONMENT. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMMING INCLUDES: - TALKBACKS. FOR EACH PRODUCTION, WE ARRANGE OPPORTUNITIES FOR AUDIENCES TO STAY FOR TALKBACKS WITH ACTORS, DIRECTORS, PLAYWRIGHTS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. - MEET AND GREETS. MU'S FIRST REHEARSALS ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO MEET ACTORS AND DESIGNERS, TO ASK QUESTIONS, AND TO DIVE DEEPER INTO THE CONTENT OF A PLAY BEFORE ENTERING THE THEATER. - WORKSHOPS AND CORPORATE PROGRAMS. DESIGNED TO BE OFFERED AT A COLLEGE OR CORPORATE LEVEL, WORKSHOPS ARE CENTERED AROUND LEADERSHIP TRAINING, TEAM COLLABORATION, PUBLIC SPEAKING, AND OTHER TOPICS THAT CAN BE INFORMED THROUGH SKILLS LEARNED IN THEATER. ARTIST-LED PROGRAMS INCLUDE MUSICAL PERFORMANCES, READINGS, AND/OR PANELS WITH MU ARTISTS, OFTEN FOCUSED AROUND ISSUES OF EQUITY, RACE, REPRESENTATION, AND THE ASIAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN MINNESOTA. TAUGHT BY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR LILY TUNG CRYSTAL OR MU'S TOP TEACHING ARTISTS, THESE ARE VALUABLE TOOLS FOR ASIAN AFFINITY GROUPS TO SERVE THEIR EMPLOYEES, AND ARE ALSO USEFUL FOR CONFERENCES. FAMILY ARTS ACTIVITIES. MU TEACHING ARTISTS LEAD ENGAGING ARTS ACTIVITIES FOR INTERGENERATIONAL GROUPS AT MU OR COMMUNITY PARTNER FAMILY EVENTS. ACTIVITIES ARE SMALL-GROUP BASED AND MAY INCLUDE STORY CIRCLES, A DANCE CLASS, PUPPET-BUILDING, AND MORE, CONNECTING FAMILIES TO THEATER AS A RELEVANT AND POWERFUL MEANS OF EXPRESSION. MU HAS CONTINUED TO TRACK ONGOING ENGAGEMENT, RELATIONSHIP GROWTH, AND COMMUNITY RESPONSE WITH OVER 25 COMMUNITY PARTNERS. IT CONSISTENTLY EVALUATES ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OF ITS PARTNERS, AND PRIORITIZES CONNECTION AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT. MU HAS DEVELOPED RELATIONSHIPS OVER TIME TO FACILITATE EACH OF THE ABOVE PROGRAMS. COMMUNITY PARTNERS ARE KEY, AS REACHING OUT TO ESTABLISHED GROUPS KEEPS THE STAFF FROM HAVING TO DEVELOP THOSE GROUPS ON ITS OWN, WHICH WOULD DRAIN RESOURCES. MU ALSO USES ONGOING AND DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, CORPORATIONS, AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS FOR OUTREACH PERFORMANCES AND WORKSHOPS. IT IS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE CONSORTIUM OF ASIAN AMERICAN THEATERS AND ARTISTS (CAATA) AND THE TWIN CITIES THEATRES OF COLOR COALITION, ALONGSIDE NEW NATIVE THEATRE, PANGEA WORLD THEATER, PENUMBRA THEATRE, AND TEATRO DEL PUEBLO. THE COALITION FORMED TO BUILD KNOWLEDGE, CAPACITY, AND TAKE ACTION AROUND THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF DIVERSIFICATION IN THE AMERICAN THEATER. IT LEADS CONVERSATIONS TO BOLSTER RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE ENGAGEMENT AROUND THE REPRESENTATION OF ITS COMMUNITIES AND WORKS WITH SOME OF MINNESOTA'S AND THE NATION'S FOUNDATIONS TO REDEFINE FUNDING TO BECOME MORE EQUITABLE. MU'S IMPACT IS HEARD AND SEEN BOTH NATIONALLY AND LOCALLY. AS MU CELEBRATES ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARY, ITS LEADERSHIP, STAFF, BOARD, AND ARTISTS ARE GRATEFUL AND HONORED TO TAKE A COMPANY THAT'S NOT ONLY SURVIVING, BUT THRIVING, INTO THE NEXT THREE DECADES. |
