DESCRIPTION:Watch the full video from the convening here \nBoston\, Massachusetts 31 October—2 November 2013\nWith the support of HowlRound\, the first large-scale formal gathering of the Latinx theatre community since 1986 took place October 31-November 2\, 2013 at Emerson College in Boston\, Massachusetts. The Latina/o Theatre Commons\, or LTC\, (later renamed the Latinx Theatre Commons) hosted a historical convening of seventy-eight Latinx actors\, directors\, producers\, playwrights\, designers\, and scholars representing all regions of the United States. They gathered to explore the history\, current challenges\, opportunities\, and visions for Latina/o theatremakers in the twenty-first century. Over the course of the convening\, those gathered sought to advance the state of Latinx theatremaking through sharing artistic\, organizing\, and institutional wisdom. Strategies were identified to seed collaborations and strengthen the burgeoning network of Latinx theatre artists. See the full list of attendees and check out the convening program here. You can also download the 2013 LTC National Convening press release in English and in Spanish. \n“How do we as powerful people figure out how we live in this current reality from a powerful position?” —Diane Rodriguez \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead the full narrative report (published in print and e-book) \n\nHowlRound store link\n\n\n\n\n\n“We need to assess where we were in relation to 1986…when we meet in thirty years\, what will we say?” —Kevin Becerra \nThe convening brought together veteranos\, emerging artists\, and independent artists\, as well as organizationally affiliated practitioners and scholars\, illuminating the diversity of the Latinx experience from across the country.

SUMMARY:Latinx Theatre Commons Steering Committee Convening
DESCRIPTION:Boston\, Massachusetts\, 22-23 March 2013\nThe first gathering of the newly formed Latinx Theatre Commons Steering Committee took place 22–23 March 2013. Born out of a meeting in Washington\, DC the previous year\, this committee met with the express purpose to plan a national convening of 70-90 Latinx theatre artists in the fall of 2013. That national gathering would officially launch the Latinx Theatre Commons\, a national movement that uses a commons-based approach to transform the narrative of the American theatre\, to amplify the visibility of Latinx performance making\, and to champion equity through advocacy\, art making\, convening\, and scholarship. \n“Latino/a” “highlights the globalization of the US Latino/a community and mirrors the fact that life in the US is now an intercultural reality.” —Anne Garcia-Romero \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead about the very first gathering \n\nLATINX THEATRE COMMONS: UPDATING THE US NARRATIVE\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThe group that gathered included: Christopher Acebo\, Kevin Becerra\, Juliette Carrillo\, Anne García-Romero\, Tlaloc Rivas\, Tanya Saracho\, Tony Sonero\, Enrique Urueta\, Kinan Valdez\, Clyde Valentín\, José Luis Valenzuela\, Patricia Ybarra\, and Karen ZacarÍas \nThis planning session started with the articulated goal of creating a concrete plan and action steps for moving forward with the Latinx Theatre Commons national gathering in the Fall of 2013\, including: confirmed dates for the event\, a list of invitees\, an outreach plan\, a fundraising action plan\, and a basic design for the event itself. The conversation was rooted in a desire to be inclusive of all efforts to advance Latinx theatre around the country\, whether or not the champions and artists are specifically tied to this steering committee. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn about what happened next \n\n2013 LTC National Convening\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNotes from this meeting

SUMMARY:2012 Latinx Theatre Artists
DESCRIPTION:Washington\, DC\, 18 May 2012\nIn 2012\, eight Latinx theatremakers gathered in Washington\, DC at the invitation of Karen Zacarías\, then playwright in residence at the American Voices New Play Institute at Arena Stage (the precursor to HowlRound) with the intention of discussing the opportunities and challenges facing Latinx theatremakers and Latinx Theatre in the American theatre field\, filling a gap of lost industry-wide affinity space. The group sought an opportunity to update and expand the narrative of the American theatre. Over the course of a day and a half the group identified several shared aims and set the intention to form what would become the Latinx Theatre Commons (LTC): \n\nTo seek the recognition of a canon of Latinx plays and create an ongoing venue for conversation in person and online among Latinx theatremakers\nTo establish new incubators of multilingual and multi-ethnic environments to facilitate conversations and sharing among Latinx theatremakers\nOver the course of the next year\, establish a 15-20 person Steering Committee to plan and execute a larger convening in 2013\, to be hosted by HowlRound Theatre Commons at Emerson College.\n\n“How do we get more authentic work by a diversity of Latinos onto our stages? How can we support each other in taking risks?”—Karen Zacarías \nParticipants included (all affiliations listed are as of 2012): \n\nKristoffer Diaz (Playwright\, New York NY)\nAnne García-Romero (Playwright; Assistant Professor of Theater\, University of Notre Dame\, South Bend\, IN)\nLisa Portes (Director; Professor of Theater\, DePaul University\, Chicago\, IL)\nTlaloc Rivas (Director; Assistant Professor of Theatre\, The University of Iowa\, Iowa City\, IA)\nAntonio Sonera (Director\, Portland OR)\nEnrique Urueta (Playwright\, Minneapolis\, MN)\nJose Luis Valenzuela (Artistic Director\, Latino Theater Company\, Los Angeles\, CA)\nKaren Zacarías (Resident Playwright\, Arena Stage\, Washington\, DC)\n\nThis gathering led directly to the creation of the LTC. You can read more about the origins of the LTC in Anne García-Romero’s 2012 essay here.
