OPEN DOOR | The Stage Protects Us

Calling all artists and culture workers to join us for a day of creative action for immigration justice! Learn how to stand up to unconstitutional policies and pledge to collectively ensure our performance spaces are havens for vulnerable communities - from the lobby to the stage. This half-day program for performing artists and culture workers will include excerpts from the play How to Melt ICE by Amalia Oliva Rojas to jumpstart a deep dive into production processes that center immigrant stories, action-generating workshops, Know Your Rights rehearsals and "on your feet" bystander trainings.

Organized by CPR - Center for Performance Research, Solidarity Organizing Initiative, White Bird Productions with Amalia Oliva Rojas, Elena Araoz and Claudia Acosta.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The Stage Protects Us is a citywide initiative uniting two powerful ecosystems: frontline organizers working to protect immigrant New Yorkers, and a broad network of New York City performing artists ready to take action. We believe artists have a specific role to play in mobilizing and amplifying resistance to inhumane immigration policy by providing resources, tools, and training for the performing arts community to support the urgent work of frontline migrant justice organizers.
