Calling Up Justice Across Space and Time Presentation

Disability Justice demands we produce in ways that are accessible in-person and remotely, live and asynchronous. In this 90 minute presentation we celebrate remote access design choices we have made and a share examples of dynamic digital producing to get inspired by.

Quarantine Residency

Located in the Bay Area, the residency was created in response to the Covid-19 pandemic as a way for artists to have a safe and supportive space to create and rest. Claudia, who is disabled and still quarantining for safety, founded the residency with the belief in the value of both digital and in-person collaboration.

Calling Up Testimonials

"From the first moment I spoke with Claudia, it was clear that she was an invaluable resource and passionate professional. During our conversation she helped me formulate a clear outline for action, suggested resources, and shared insight about other organizations we might be able to partner with. By the end of our conversation, I felt much more confident about approaching other artists about building a support network for our #TheatreActionGunControl initiative. Claudia is an incredible theatrical ally!"

"As an advocate, activist, artist and dramaturg, Claudia Alick brings intense intellectual rigor and fierce emotional fervor to everything she does. Her approach is so solidly rooted in her exemplary practice on the values of artistry, equity, and empathy. She is among the foremost thinkers in the American theater, and her multi-faceted work provides vital and extraordinary service to the field."
Lloyd Suh
Ma-Yi Theater Company
“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.”
