“Claudia Alick and Calling Up have been a vital part of the launch of the latest cohort of theatres with TCG’s Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Institute. The Institute is a peer-learning cohort of theatres going through a three-year curriculum to advance EDI at the personal, organizational, and fieldwide levels. Claudia has brought so much to the work: a deeply intersectional analysis of EDI; a toolkit for collaborative practice; a welcoming and insightful presence as a facilitator; and, above all, a joyful sense of play and possibility that infuses even the most complicated and difficult conversations. I highly recommend Calling Up for anyone who believes in the transformative powers of culture and community.”
