In this episode of the "State of Field" podcast, Dan Johnson discusses his personal journey and commitment to Access, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ADEI) in Michigan's theater scene, focusing on the challenges faced by marginalized communities in traditionally white/Eurocentric spaces. He shares insights from his work as an advocate for ADEI at the University of Michigan and explores strategies for creating more inclusive environments, including the use of tools like inclusivity audits and meaningful casting choices. Drawing from key ADEI resource publications, Dan reflects on how educators and theater professionals can promote self-determination, antiracism, and decolonial practices in youth theater education, ensuring underrepresented voices are heard. Throughout, Dan emphasizes the need for ongoing, tangible action to foster genuinely inclusive, equitable spaces in theater, while also offering hope for a more diverse and empowered future in both youth and professional theater.
