Congrats
Thuy and
Bea!
Congratulation
to the inaugural recipients
of the Ebony McKinney Arts
Leadership Award, Thuy Tran
(San Francisco awardee) and
Beatrice Thomas (Bay Area
regional awardee). Thuy has
frequently graced
Bindlstiff's stage, most
recently as a
writer/performer in
Bindlestiff's resident
Asian-American women sketch
comedy troupe, Granny Cart
Gangstas. Bea's stage
direction has been showcased
in Queer
as F*ck,
and she has graciously lent
her expertise to us as a
highly regarded non-profit
arts consultant.
Ebony
McKinney dedicated her
career to supporting
leaders of color and
increasing equitable
access to the arts in
the Bay Area and beyond.
She had a positive
influence locally and
nationally before her
unexpected death in July
2017. This award
recognizes arts and
culture administrators
who address critical
issues facing San
Francisco's arts
community and work to
continue Ebony's
deep commitment to
cultivating artistic
leaders. The San
Francisco Arts
Commission (SFAC) in
partnership with
Emerging Arts
Professionals-San
Francisco/Bay Area
(EAP-SF/BA) presented
the inaugural awards
last night during
SFAC's annual grants
convening.

when you wake up. Until
one day you do. Welcome to
your Forbidden
Future.

Workshops Begin in

The
Love Edition
Writing Workshop will
prepare students for the
6th iteration of
Bindlestiff Studio’s
signature show, The
Love Edition, and
its submission process.
Through weekly
assignments, in-class
writing exercises, group
workshop, and development
of a sustained 10-12 page
script, students will
examine scene structure,
action, character
development, and dialogue
focused on the theme of
love. With an in-depth
analyzation of produced
stage works, students will
come out of the course
with a more polished
script built on the
process of risk-taking and
exploration of one's
voice and
vision.

DALUYAN*
is an interactive
workshop, facilitated by
Sammay Dizon, rooted in
storytelling through
movement, writing, and
performance. Through
activating our bodies as
receivers of ancestral
memory, how can we serve
our own healing journeys
for transformation of
self, lineage, and
community? Together, we
will instigate the smells,
sights, sounds, and
somatic sensations
residing in our respective
vessels and re-discover
how our DNA and lived
experiences assist us in
remembering and
recognizing our
intergenerational truths -
which further our
envisioning for the world
we dream for the future
generations.
*This
workshop is for womxn of
color and
two-spirit/non-binary
community members; folks
of Pilipinx descent are
especially encouraged to
attend.

reality, and her attempts
to build a better life for
herself and her family are

conditions.
