MENGENAI EPISOD INI
I’ve been wanting to talk with Kevin Ray for a long time. Just over a year ago, when I was struggling with my decision to create The Cornfield, and speak out about some of the abusive practices and divisive ideas that had invaded the theatre workspace, I saw a video featuring Kevin’s experience of being confronted with DEI in his work as a teaching artist. His forthright fearlessness and passion about his work strengthened my resolve to let my voice be heard.
KEVIN RAY is a Generative Theater Director and Teaching Artist. For over 20 years, Kevin has delivered arts-education programs to students pre-K to 12th Grade as a Teaching Artist working for a variety of arts organizations in New York City. Under the name Kevin Ray | Works, Kevin has produced & directed original theater in collaboration with actors & designers. Most recently, he produced and directed Unearthly Visitants a devised play based on ghost stories written by Edith Wharton and The Machine Stops, a devised play based on the short story of the same name by E.M Forster. He is currently developing a new piece based on the science fiction novel We by Russian dissident Yevgeny Zamyatin, premiering October 2024 in Brooklyn NY. Kevin’s work has been described as “A Space Mountain roller coaster ride, an intellectual white water rafting expedition, a production that will have you talking about it for hours and days to come.”
