Drawing on the notion of a 'welcome table'--a space where artists of all backgrounds can come together as equals to create theatre--the book's contributors discuss casting practices as they relate to varying communities and contexts, including Middle Eastern American theatre, disability culture, multilingual performance, Native American theatre, color- and culturally-conscious casting, and casting as a means to dismantle stereotypes. Syler and Banks suggest that casting is a way to invite more people to the table so that the full breadth of US identities can be reflected onstage, and that casting is inherently a political act; because an actor's embodied presence both communicates a dramatic narrative and evokes cultural assumptions associated with appearance, skin color, gender, sexuality, and ability, casting choices are never neutral. By bringing together a variety of artistic perspectives to discuss common goals and particular concerns related to casting, this volume features the insights and experiences of a broad range of practitioners and experts across the field. As a resource-driven text suitable for both practitioners and academics, Casting a Movement seeks to frame and mobilize a social movement focused on casting, access, and representation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Foreword : from "I love your freckles" to "representation matters" / Liesl Tommy -- The welcome table : casting for an integrated society / Daniel Banks -- The chasm between / Ayanna Thompson -- Playing with "race" in the new millennium / Justin Emeka -- Nevertheless, whiteness persisted / Brian Eugenio Herrera -- Casting pearls before authenticity / Yussef El Guindi -- Reorienting : a Middle Eastern American casting case study / Torange Yeghiazarian -- Casting Middle Eastern American theatre : cultural, academic, and professional challenges / Michael Malek Najjar -- Casting disabled actors : taking our rightful place onstage / Christine Bruno -- The difference disability makes : unique considerations in casting performers with disabilities / Carrie Sandahl -- A great and complicated thing : reimagining disability / Victoria Lewis -- The sea will listen / Caridad Svich -- Setting a global table with multilingual theatre / Eunice S.
