TOOTPod: Episode 115 (Salim Razawi‪)‬ TOOTPod: The Other Other Theatre Podcast

    • Performing Arts

Joel and Erin sit down with director/teaching artist/actor Salim Razawi to discuss his new organization for youth theatre education--T.E.A.M. Theatre--and the state of the arts in the Bay Area.

Topics include: growing up as an Afghani student in a post-9/11 world; the Living Document of BIPOC Experiences in the Bay Area (and the attacks on the person who created the document); the most "important" shows in which Mr. Razawi took part; the lack (and proof) of action from theatre companies; the importance of representation in the classroom; how he met his co-founder for T.E.A.M. Theatre, Rachel Robinson; and the exhaustion from hoping.

Plus, Erin has more Videotape Recommendations (but no theme song yet), and Joel tries for another opening catchphrase.
