Award for Leadership in Community-Based Theatre and Civic Engagement

comm — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:17:00 -0400

In order to honor a high level of commitment and longevity, this award for Leadership in Community-Based Theatre and Civic Engagement is reserved for an individual or theatre company that has worked in the field of community-based theatre and civic engagement for a minimum of ten years. The following is a list of criteria for judging the candidates:
1. Innovation of approach
2. Artistic quality
3. Contributions to the field
4. Regional impact
5. Demonstration of community need
6. Depth of civic dialogue

Emphasis may include focusing on individuals or theatres who help facilitate communities in creating theatre that reflects their constituents and/or on those who develop lasting relationships with those communities. Theatre companies that are nominated must have an operating budget of $150,000 or less. The award should not go to an artist already honored in a major way by the mainstream but to an individual or company that does important work but is less well known.

Visit this page to nominate someone for the Award for Leadership in Community-Based Theatre and Civic Engagement. Awards nominations are due by February 15.

Nominators must provide letters from supporters who also address the above criteria. The letters should come from a range of people, including critics, academics, board members, audiences, and participants. The support letters must be sent to the nominator. If a nominator receives more than ten letters of support, only the strongest ten should be sent, in their entirety, along with the nominator's letter. The nominator’s letter plus all additional support letters and material must be sent to the subcommittee chair.

The selection sub-committee of ATHE, appointed by the chair of the Awards committee, has gender, sexual, racial, and ethnic diversity.

Religion and Theatre

For more information about the Religion and Theatre focus group, click here to send an e-mail to the focus group leadership.

The Religion and Theatre Focus Group is an active forum for scholars and artists engaging with the discourses surrounding performative practices of spiritual belief. We advocate for serious and creative inquiry into points of intersection between religion/spirituality and theatre/performance. We challenge preconceptions about the place of belief in theatre and performance studies, and champion uncensored, critical discussion of religion in the public sphere.

Membership in the Religion and Theatre Focus Group is open to all ATHE members.
