We're Taking a Collective Breath

OUT LOUD transitions to a Virtual Platform to reimagine, rediscover, and
reconnect with their unique methodology and ensemble driven work.
reconnect with their unique methodology and ensemble driven work.
"Social distancing is uniquely challenging for our ensemble because we build theatre through movement and thrive with connection. OUT LOUD (Online) makes it possible for us to continue to work collaboratively. We are finding new ways to breathe and move together, to share ideas and find inspiration, and to support each other as artists and as humans. Of course, we always do this - but it feels especially vital now." - Season 8 and Core Ensemble Member, Beth Alianiello
In response to the current global health crisis, OUT LOUD continues to postpone ALL FORMS of in-person programming indefinitely. The safety and well being of our ensemble, extended collaborators, audiences, and PVD community are of the utmost importance to us. We will not proceed with plans to initiate any form of in-person programming until it is definitively and sustainably safe for our collective to do so. In light of these circumstances, and the uncertainty surrounding when it will be possible to be back into the room together, OUT LOUD has turned our focus entirely to creating and collaborating virtually - establishing a new baseline to reimagine, rediscover, and reconnect with our unique methodology and ensemble driven work.
After months of processing and mindfully engaging with virtual pilot programs, we are endlessly grateful to officially launch our evolving virtual platform, OUT LOUD (Online). This launch currently takes the form of our ongoing Anti-Racist Plan of Action, our updated Response to COVID-19, and the release of Season 8: Sinners + Saints (The Duality Between Good / Evil) *VIRTUAL EDITION*, comprised of a 5-Episode Podcast Series "Tarzoom" and our first Virtual Experience, "Deadly Sins". Learn more about how our ensemble continues to transition and thrive through OUT LOUD (Online).
OUT LOUD's anti-Racist PLAN OF ACTION
OUT LOUD COMMITS TO BECOMING A FULLY ANTI-RACIST AND ANTI-OPPRESSIVE COLLECTIVE
OUT LOUD's commitment to Black Lives Matter, the fight for racial justice, human rights, and all Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) must go beyond statements of solidarity or social media postings. OUT LOUD is dedicated to actively and openly combating racism, white supremacy, bigotry, intersectional oppression, sexual harassment, assault, and the abuse of power in all of its forms through our Anti-Racist commitments and collaborative work, facilitating consistent and holistic acknowledgement, accountability, and ongoing action within our collective moving forward.

Silence is deafening. As artists and as human beings we have a responsibility to show up for one another in any way that we can and use any/all platforms we have access to to be as loud as possible in the face of injustice. Now is the time to show our support for movements and organizations that are holding space for those who are suffering. We must listen. Advocate. Donate. Show up. Educate and hold ourselves and our organizations/institutions accountable. We all have work to do, @outloudtheatre included. This is a start. Resources will continue to be shared throughout our platforms. Learn more.

A LETTER FROM OUT LOUD
"As a Movement Ensemble who thrives on physically driven modes of collaboration and storytelling, this ongoing transition will continue to be a team effort. We are grateful for the opportunity to uncover the full potential of collaborating and connecting in a new way and how that will undoubtedly shape and influence our work moving forward. We still have so much to learn, so much to uncover, and so much to share. Thank you for helping us keep the lights on as we all take a collective breath."
