Members of the theater community gathered Aug. 10 at Lerma's for a public discussion on diversity and representation in San Antonio.
BIPOC, which stands for Black, Indigenous, and people of color, is a term used to refer to underrepresented communities as a group while still acknowledging the different levels of injustice experienced by different communities.
The Public Theater and The Classic Theatre of San Antonio announced a partnership on July 19, assembling an executive team of “familiar faces from the theatre community.” Jimmy Moore was hired as producing artistic director, followed by Asia Ciaravino as president and CEO, Christina Casella as managing director and Rick Sanchez as director of marketing and audience experience.
Performing artists Marisela Barrera, Nicolás Valdéz, and sisters Sarah and Lilith Tijerina were among those who organized the meeting at Lerma’s, inviting additional facilitators to lead groups through mutual conversations. About 40 people attended, including Moore, Casella, Public Theater Board Chair Dawn Cole and Isabel De La Cerda, director of development for Teatro Audaz, among many others.
Among those at Cabunoc Romero’s table were Cole, Valdéz, Magik Theatre Artistic Director Anthony Runfola and performance artist Jacque Salame. “My concern is that people of color, no matter how talented or gifted they are, they will never be at the same standard as white theater, as white actors, because it’s not [seen as] theater. It’s Chicano theater, or Black theater,” Salame said.
