About Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop:
Black Revolutionary Theatre Workshop, LLC (BRTW) uses narrative and performance as a methodology to recenter Black narratives in identifiable and solvable problems.
BRTW is a Brooklyn-based collective founded in summer 2015. They are dedicated to developing, producing, incubating, and promoting Black art and artists who actively engage with justice in their work. BRTW recognizes that we live in a world rife with injustice, including but not limited to those that impact individuals and communities due to: race, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, language and literacy, court involvement, economic status, and nation of origin.
BRTW’s work brings artists and audiences into conversation and community action, centering Black intersectional identities and experiences. In accessible narrative, performance, conversation, and media, BRTW seeks to create art as revolution.
