Red Eye Theater is committed to equity, accessibility, and justice in our organizational culture, our programming, our field of contemporary performance, and in our Minneapolis community.
As an organization that was white-led for 35 years and is now led by a multiracial, majority-white collective of six artistic directors, we are working to dismantle the ways that white supremacy persists across our work and communities.
We approach this ongoing labor with an intersectional lens, non-hierarchical forms of leadership, and readiness to redistribute resources, space, creative agency, and power.
We are grateful to the artists and activists in our midst who have been continually engaged in racial justice and decolonization work, and pledge to continue it with you. In the spirit of accountability, we offer the following articulation of our values and the concrete steps we are taking towards greater equity. This language will be updated periodically, including after we develop a full equity statement/plan.
