As our society evolves, it is critical that our theatrical and artistic expression of that society evolve and change. We have been far behind representing the true nature of our humanity in how we tell stories in the theatre. How do we move past entrenched conventions that shroud this nature? In this session, we are privileged to engage with trailblazing Stage Directors from the UK, USA, and Canada, who are bravely elevating their voices with profound conviction to burst open any limitations of perspective and convention so that the stories we tell on the stage or screen embody and celebrate the widest range of diversity far beyond the philosophical debate on inclusion: this must become a given and nothing less.
