Amidst an ever-changing arts and culture landscape in Boston and beyond, ArtsEmerson remains committed to using art to deepen our connection to each other, inspire civic transformation around racial and climate justice, and ignite conversation around our world’s most urgent issues. We believe in the power of bold, innovative storytelling that not only reflects who we are but challenges us to imagine a better future for us all.

Like change, ArtsEmerson’s dedication to our mission remains constant. This past year, thanks to the efforts of our resilient team, we successfully launched another groundbreaking season of seven in person shows, two digital theatre pieces, virtual and in person film screenings, Play Reading Book Clubs, and The Point public dialogues.

We welcomed patrons, community members, and artists back to our stages and screening room, as well as to our neighborhood spaces across Boston, thrilled to share in the communal and transformative experience of live performance. Accessibility is one of our priorities and all of our programming offers a range of accessibility services, from American Sign Language to open captioning to assisted listening devices.

All of this is thanks to you. Throughout continued change and unknowns, your support and engagement kept us going. We are incredibly proud to share the impact of our work from this past year. Thank you for joining us in our work serving our community - of artists, patrons, and community members.

Since its founding, ArtsEmerson has pushed the boundaries of theater - expanding whose stories get told on stage and screen - and we are leaning into this commitment even more intentionally in our second decade as Boston’s leading presenter of contemporary theatre from around the globe. As we look ahead, we are excited to continue uplifting artists whose stories boldly celebrate our differences, reflect the vital diversity of our city, and deepen our connection to each other.

We can’t wait to tell these stories with you.

WHO WE ARE

We believe in artists who boldly celebrate our differences, reflect the vital diversity of our city, and deepen our connection to each other.”

Mission

We engage all communities through stories that reveal and deepen our connection to each other. By cultivating diversity in the art and in the audience, we ignite public conversation around our most vexing societal challenges as a catalyst for overcoming them.

Vision

A thriving world where art ignites empathy for ourselves and each other.

Our History

ArtsEmerson is the professional presenting and producing organization of the Office of the Arts at Emerson College. Founded by Robert J. Orchard in 2010, the year the US Census confirmed there was no single cultural majority in Boston, we committed to building a cultural institution that reflects the diversity of our city. We operate from the core belief that the arts are for everyone. By “putting the world on stage” ArtsEmerson quickly established a reputation for presenting outstanding work from around the globe — work that emanates from the language of theater, yet pushes the boundaries between theater, dance, music, and media arts. And by bringing diverse programming to neighborhoods all over the city, we have become an integral part of Boston’s efforts to transform our bitter history of segregation into a resilient legacy of equity and unity in diversity. ArtsEmerson’s first seasons focused on building a world-class cultural institution, raising awareness of our existence, and forging a reputation for artistic excellence. ArtsEmerson was first named “Boston’s Best Theater” by Boston Magazine following its 2012/13 season.

December of 2013, WBUR critic Ed Siegel cited ArtsEmerson in his annual “Best of” round-up, saying: “In four short years they have established ArtsEmerson as one of the most important cultural institutions in New England.” In 2013 we expanded our focus, through a variety of civic engagement activities, setting out to become an effective partner in our city’s efforts to promote social cohesion. When naming ArtsEmerson “Boston’s Best Theater” again in 2015, Boston Magazine wrote, “Most impressive, ArtsEmerson realizes its global vision while remaining audience-focused and community-centric.” ArtsEmerson is a Black and Indigenous-led organization currently under the co-leadership of Executive Director David C. Howse and Director of Artistic Programming Ronee Penoi (Laguna Pueblo/Cherokee).

A YEAR IN THE CINEMA

Beyond beautiful moving images on screen, Cinema offers us the opportunity to connect with one another through shared experience and conversation. This year we stayed nimble and inclusive by offering our audience both Digital Cinema and in-person viewings in the Bright Family Screening Room. Films from diverse voices were shown, and scores of post-screening conversations energized our film programming this year.

BOSTON ASIAN AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL

We were honored to partner with and be a home to the 14th Annual Boston Asian American Film Festival (BAAFF). Building on BAAFF’s track record of success, BAAFF hosted its return to in person screenings, while keeping digital content for an at-home audience. BAAFF served up 10 screenings to over a thousand patrons locally and internationally which included robust community engagement and lively post show filmmaker discussions.

Read more about BAAFF 2022 here.

PROJECTING CONNECTIONS

ArtsEmerson continued its fourth year of the series Projecting Connections: Chinese American Experiences. Using film as a lens to reflect on the vast lived experiences of the Chinese population in the Greater Boston Area, this special series featured films and post-show discussions designed to build and foster meaningful community conversation. Highlights from this series include the sold out screening of A Letter to A’ma, presented in partnership with the Taiwan Film Festival Boston featuring post-film conversation with director Hui-Ling Chen and Rising Against Asian Hate: One Day in March. One Day in March delves into the uncomfortable truth around the increase in Asian hate. We continued to explore this critical topic prompted by the film by looking at our own backyard and providing actionable steps to combat hate within our community through conversation with the director, esteemed community leaders, and elected officials.

SHARED STORIES

A throughline to our programming is the consistently Shared Stories is a film series that seeks to build community, shared conversation, and experiences through cinema – where complex topical films are equally matched by the engaging conversations that ensue. This series aspires to create a shared space to find commonality across experiences, and encourage the exchange of stories and ideas. It is presented in collaboration with BAAFF, CineFest Latino Boston, and the Roxbury International Film Festival.

Beyond the Shared Stories framework, ArtsEmerson is also happy to give a home to Boston Baltic Film Festival, CineFest Latino Boston, The Bright Lights Film Series, Roxbury International Film Festival, Wicked Queer Film Festival, and the Taiwan Film Festival Boston.

Both Shared Stories and Projecting Connections were presented with support from WORLD Channel, Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) and The WNET Group/ Exploring Hate.

FILM SPOTLIGHT STONEBREAKERS

For our June installment of Shared Stories, the Bright Family screening room welcomed Stonebreakers, in partnership with the Roxbury International Film Festival.

Stonebreakers chronicles the conflicts around monuments that arose in the United States during the George Floyd protests and the 2020 presidential election. As statues of Columbus, Confederates, and Founding Fathers fall from their pedestals, the nation’s triumphalist myths are called into question. By exploring the shifting landscapes of American monumentality, the film interrogates the link between history and political action in a nation that must confront its past now more urgently than ever.

A panel of filmmakers and incredible community leaders from diverse perspectives including representation from EMBRACE, local artists, and the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture - reminding us all why gathering for film can be such a galvanizing force for connection and positive change.

A YEAR IN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

PLAY READING BOOK CLUB

The PRBC returned for a 9th year, exploring On Beckett, Made In China 2.0, Cointeshow, And So We Walked, and Nehanda in Roxbury, Chinatown, and Allston as well as online. Over the course of several weeks, participants unpacked the text through dialogue, discussion, and behind the scenes resources from ArtsEmerson, guided by trained teaching artists from the Emerson College Masters in Theatre Education. The PRBC continued its relationship with Emerson College, welcoming students in the Applied Theatre Master Program to observe and study our work out in the community.

Participants:

• Do a deep dive into a play via group readings, facilitated discussions, and access to resources that interpret the context.

• Meet new people and increase social connectedness while having meaningful conversations.

• Obtain tools and resources to help navigate the process of attending the theater.

• Go see the play together with a whole new level of understanding and appreciation.

PUBLIC DIALOGUE

Each year ArtsEmerson continues its dedication to gathering artists and audiences across differences to better understand our shared and unique experiences. These moments of connection can be found from PRBC sessions to facilitated audience discussions in our theatres and in the screening room.

In the theatres this season, Frankenstein audiences got a chance to learn how Manuel Cinema creates their complex productions and meet the Creature puppet. Virtual audiences dove deep with Mondo Bizarro to discuss the legacy of COINTELPRO on communities of color. Local thought leaders led discussions after Made in China 2.0 and Nehanda

This year we also launched a new conversation series called, The Point. This series invites audiences to explore big questions in intimate settings. Hosted by a member of the ArtsEmerson team, local and national luminaries will offer their points of view on the urgent questions surfaced by the artists on our stages. In the 2022/2023 season we gathered virtually and on the Robert J. Orchard stage to interrogate topics of cultural theft, government surveillance, and global approaches to decolonization.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

One of the founding principles of ArtEmerson was to make sure artists had a home to create work on their own terms. Below you can find a description of some of the collaborations happening from each of our 22/23 Artists in Residence.

Rayon McLean

of QUILT from Kingston, Jamaica. Over the course of two visits McLean met with elected officials, arts professionals, and community leaders to discuss the similarities and differences in community based cultural work happening in Boston and Kingston. McLean led two workshops, one about devising Caribbean aesthetics and other about the experience of navigating expectations of Black masculinity.

Song of RomeHomer’s Coat.

We partnered with Octopus Theatricals to support Denis O’Hare and Lisa Peterson (An Iliad) as they continue work on their next piece Song of Rome. We were able to accommodate the artist’s travel schedules by offering residency space at Emerson’s Kasteel Well campus in the Netherlands. This was our inaugural residency at the castle and we’re excited to continue to explore how it may be activated to further serve students and artists.

Bill Irwin

Fresh Sound Artist in Residence - Following his award-winning run of On Beckett Bill Irwin spent five days visiting Emerson performing arts and comedy classes, collaborating with faculty to integrate his experience as a clown and actor. This culminated in an open workshop for all Emerson students.

The Garden, KOA (Daniel Beaty)

Continuing our long arc relationship with Koa, we hired an ensemble of actors to explore his sequel to Mr. Joy, The Garden. A reading was performed for a group of community partners who have previously hosted Mr. Joy across Greater Boston.

ARTIST RESIDENCIES supported by ArtsEmerson in the 22/23 Season

ArtsEmerson continues to honor its commitment to the intersection of civic dialogue and artistic exploration through various internal and external initiatives, aiming to tear down division and invest in a more vibrant, connected community.

BLACK AND INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE

ArtsEmerson is a Black and Indigenous co-led organization, and we see this as a unique opportunity to imagine a better, liberated future together for Black and Indigenous peoples –and by extension, all peoples. Thanks to the support of The Barr Foundation and The National Endowment for the Arts, we are activating this future through the shared experience of art and dialogue with ArtsEmerson’s Black and Indigenous Initiative. This past year, we engaged in this work through two of our productions, And So We Walked and Nehanda, fostering inter-cultural exchange and engagement among audiences. We have also been planning a convening of scholars, educators, and practitioners who will gather in Boston this September to unearth history, examine fault lines, and imagine new and different futures. These efforts will result in our commissioning of Black and Indigenous artists to collaborate and pursue the stories only they can uniquely tell.

ACCESSIBILITY

As a Mass Cultural Council Universal Participation-designated organization, we are committed to offering inclusive experiences for people of all abilities. We offer a variety of accessibility services for our patrons and community members, including ASL interpretation, audio description, open captioning, and assistive listening devices. This year, thanks to the support of the Mass Cultural Council, we upgraded our equipment with new open captioning technology that can be used across our programming, from live theater to film screenings.

We are grateful for the Mass Cultural Council and Liberty Mutual, whose ongoing support makes our work creating a culture of belonging and inclusivity for people of all abilities possible.

INTERNAL CLIMATE AND RACIAL JUSTICE INITIATIVES

Since 2010, our work has been anchored in our commitment to driving civic transformation around social justice. We are expanding on this commitment by centering racial and climate justice in our day to day work. This past year, we worked with DEI consultant Dr. Gary Bailey of Simmons University to lead a cross-departmental Racial Equity Action Plan team and develop our Racial Equity Action Plan. This plan builds off of prior trainings and learnings on anti-racism and decolonization, and outlines actionable steps we will take at the individual, departmental, and organizational level.

Inherent in the work toward racial equity is climate justice, and we have also taken the past year to prioritize actions supporting climate justice in our daily work. Thanks to the support of Liberty Mutual, these include transitioning to digital tickets and programs, updating our venues with energy efficient lighting and equipment, and exploring sustainable practices around international travel. We are also building new relationships with the Indigenous community and artists in our region, and deepening our commitment to be in right relationship to land and history.

A YEAR OF PHILANTHROPY

WORLD ALIVE!

World Alive! was back in person this year! We were thrilled to gather with friends, artists, and our growing community of supporters at the Revere Hotel to celebrate ArtsEmerson’s 22/23 season. We honored two of our long-time partners, C. Brian Williams, founder of Step Afrika!, and Susan Feder, former Arts and Culture Program Officer at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (both pictured above with David Howse and Ronee Penoi), for their impactful contributions to and support of ArtsEmerson. The After Party was a blast, with guests and artists from Drumfolk dancing long into the night!

GARDEN PARTY

We were also excited to bring back ArtsEmerson’s Garden Party, an outdoor event supporting the Gaining Ground Fund which elevates and encourages the ambitions of artists developing work for the world stage that reflects the African Diasporic experience in America. This year, the rain moved us inside and we are so grateful for Terry and David Wilkins for graciously hosting over 100 guests inside their beautiful home! Local cover band Angelena and The Unit kept us dancing all afternoon, and proceeds from the auction of incredible artworks by local and national artists went toward the Gaining Ground fund.
