Abstract
Reimagining The Theatre Arts Community is an essay that demonstrates the reckoning and healing of the Flea Theatre. Plagued by a history of misogyny, racism, and unethical practices, Flea theatre dismantled its artist's residency programs after pushback from artists to rebuild a better organization. The effects of institutionalized racism have erased, dismissed, and ostracized those on its receiving end. Face to face with adversity is when one learns to fight. Not because they want to, but because they have to. What started as a Facebook post from Bryan Carter became a new movement. A movement in which unpaid artist discovered their voice and strength to fight a system with all odds against them. The inspiration for this piece came from my own experiences, highlighted in my artistic aim. Time again, resistance has proved to be the instrument of liberation.
