Verna Myers, coined the phrase, "Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance." This metaphor for inclusion, however, assumes a static power relationship. Someone else does both the inviting and the asking to dance. Has the theatre's awareness of inequality resulted in any significant changes to the industry in your country or region over the past few years? Has this affected your work in any significant way? What do you imagine can be done to achieve greater diversity, inclusion, and a genuine sense of belonging by everyone in attending the celebration?
