WHY - An actor preparing

  • Whidbey Island Center for the Arts PO Box 52 | 565 Camano Avenue Langley, WA 98260 (map)
 

"WHY: An Actor Preparing, written by Davion Tynarious Brown, follows the short journey of an Actor in his studio apartment. With the assistance of his best mate, the Actor devises a strategy to land a once-in-a-lifetime audition. Throughout his journey to prepare, he addresses: the complexities of the theatre industry, the inner trepidations felt by many theatre practitioners, the tumultuous balancing  act between daily life and Artistry, and
the heart & soul of the craft of Acting.

This meta commentary means to provide audiences with a small glimpse into the world of the "Actor's Process", as well as to edify them on the importance of the Arts in our everyday lives.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
