We continued to develop our mainstage Reconstructing (Still Working But The Devil Might be Inside), a new work of theater created by the company's largest writing collective yet, that follows an intentional collaboration between 14 artists of Color and 7 white artists as they try to move through American history together in the aftermath of slavery. (Eric Berryman) At the top of the fiscal year, we hired a Process Directora part-time position for a Black artist intended to focus on guiding the Reconstructing process with an eye towards harm mitigation. In Fall 22, the ensemble gathered for a 3-week workshop at BAM. It culminated in a residency in Washington D.C., hosted by Roundhouse Theater and Mosaic Theatre, where the ensemble shared the latest draft of the script and facilitated a post-reading discussion with Howard University students and local Black artists at the famed Busboys and Poets Cafe. In the spring, we kickstarted development for Reconstructing Impulse Threadsprojects by ensemble members that were born out of the Reconstructing process. They include the development of a new devising methodology called Move/Meditate/Make; a spoken word solo work that uses family recordings to trace three generations of white supremacy through a Virginia Beach family; and the culling of transcripts from the Reconstructing rehearsal process for integration into the larger script. We fed career and work development pipelines through Petri Projects, our new work lab, and LIVE FROM MOUNT OLYMPUS, which regularly features the talents of early-career actors. In response to artist feedback, we reworked our Petri application process under the guidance of an internal task force and external anti-oppression & organizational strategy coach, in the hopes of better prioritizing equity and decentering TEAM leadership from decision-making power. The program continues to prioritize artist agency, budget education opportunities for artists, and support for work at its earliest stages (before its eligible for most other grant funding). We produced a third season of Live From Mount Olympus, our pandemic-born podcast series that reimagines Greek Myths for a young audience, in collaboration with the Onassis Foundation. on a SAG-AFTRA New Media contract. This season told the little-known story of Atalanta, a young female hero. This season featured almost THIRTY actors, ranging in ages from 19-98, and as with past seasons, was remarkably diverse, in race, age, and gender identity. Half our cast is made up of veteran TEAM actors and the other half is made up of young actors of Epic Theatre Ensemble, a Harlem-based, educational and professional youth theatre. We released Season 3 in the spring and saw the podcast reach a remarkable milestone of 1 Million downloads.We remained a vital part of the research arm of our industry this year, spending significant time conceiving and trialing best producing practices for a liberatory theatre-making future. Our small size and artist-centric operating model continued to allow our producing structures to be as emergent as the work we create. 214621 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 46 0 true 55 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 16 10 true false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X X X Organization 7188578326 138 South Oxford Street 4C New York NY 11217 Alexandra Lalonde Producing Director 40.00 0.00 42342 0 2303 Jillian Walker Director 1.00 0.00 X 22714 0 2887 Rachel Chavkin Artistic Director 10.00 0.00 18581 0 470 Elizabeth King Director 1.00 0.00 X 6229 0 1140 Ian Lassiter Director 1.00 0.00 X 6175 0 330 Kristen Sieh Director 1.00 0.00 X 2110 0 410 Brenda Abbandandolo Director 1.00 0.00 X 2475 0 0 Jill Frutkin Director 1.00 0.00 X 1850 0 105 Matt Ross Board Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ryan West Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Danielle Amedeo Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alice Griffiths Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Matt Hubbs Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Jane Johnson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Kemper Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Miller Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Thor Perplies Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Rose Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Emma Orme Producing Director 40.00 0.00 0 0 0 102476 7645 0 false false false 0 60025 125230 166712 351967 Commissioning fees 711110 76000 76000 76000 821 821 0 0 0 0 22999 60025 22999 0 0 0 Merchandise sales 711110 313 313 Miscellaneous 711110 882 882 1195 429983 78016 X 0 0 0 0 102485 88470 5542 8473 0 66826 43753 14569 8504 0 9563 7514 1059 990 13751 10403 1833 1515 0 0 5500 4143 740 617 0 0 0 43520 27390 2335 13795 1888 944 944 6696 5045 900 751 0 39 39 16320 12295 2194 1831 4580 2629 1951 0 0 0 0 158 119 21 18 5951 4483 800 668 Indirect benefit expenses 14759 14759 Production expenses 11490 7394 4096 Fundraising expense 1570 1570 0 305096 214621 29993 60482 254118 364203 0 97885 111004 16717 20416 0 0 0 399 393 6775 6982 7462 7441 179 21 0 0 0 0 1254 1296 377327 504315 12393 14494 13334 13334 25727 27828 X 270406 416865 81194 59622 351600 476487 377327 504315 124887 X X false true X true false X 320216 342203 330179 270923 351967 1615488 0 0 320216 342203 330179 270923 351967 1615488 442409 1173079 167 126 14 931 821 2059 0 283 267 1066 8507 1195 11318 1628865 351042 0.72020 0.73870 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 7462 7441 21 21 X 429983 429983 429983 305096 305096 305096 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is a not-for-profit corporation exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been designated as a corporation which is not a private foundation.
