Note sull'episodio
Join SeaEO & host Emily Wilder as she talks with Salinity's suppliers, artists, and friends to find out what kind of presence they bring to the world, and why.
In this episode, Emily speaks with Davion T. Brown, a theatre artist, educator, and researcher who traded a PhD in astronomy for the stage. Davion shares how his "Independent Theatre Crusade" research led him to a funding model that connects artists directly with donors, and how that has brought his plays to audiences from Ohio to Japan. He talks about landing the role of Robin Hood at Island Shakespeare Festival (ISF) this summer, what makes ISF so special for traveling artists, and why he's committed to teaching other artists how to make a living. He also covers the physical theatre behind his play "Anxiety," which he staged in Japan, and writing his own response to Titus Andronicus, called "Marcellus Andronicus: The Curse of House Andronici."
Update: Davion's tour of "Marcellus Andronicus" runs October 9 through November 1 on Whidbey Island, with performances in Tokyo, Japan, November 14 through 23. His play "40 Acres" comes to Outcast Productions in Langley in May 2027.
