As a consultant, I partner with arts institutions and non-profits to engage in critical self-reflection, analyze institutional barriers, identify areas for decentralized decision-making, and develop mechanisms for accountability. Wielding my experience as a former civil rights attorney and interdisciplinary artist, RKG workshops employ theater games/collaborative activities, academic research, structural analysis, and other tactics for internal transformation that support the creation and implementation of inclusion policies rooted in anti-racism and holistic change. Some offerings include:
• Trainings such as institutional/structural racism, implicit bias, tokenism, how to be an accomplice, and fostering humanity in the work place
• Community agreements
• Inclusive hiring practices
• Support internal change teams
• Provide support for artists/cast and serve as liaison for advocacy concerning institutional identity-based isolation
• Anti-bias internal organizational decision making
• Anti-bias casting practices, such as debunking "non-traditional" casting
• Script/production analysis and assessment
• Internal Culture Assessment and Action Plan
• Audience engagement programs rooted in equity and activism
