Art2Action stands in unequivocal solidarity with the Palestinian people who are enduring an unfathomable genocide, which is being committed by the state of Israel with full impunity from world leaders, including the United States government. In response to the ongoing genocide, illegal occupation, and immoral apartheid policies of the state of Israel, Art2Action hereby endorses the Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel  (PACBI) , part of the Palestinian international Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.   Aligning with PACBI’s guidelines  is not a new direction for Art2Action, but a reaffirmation of our ethical commitment and solidarity practices in times of unthinkable, livestreamed genocide that the world has been witness to for over a year. We are responding to the Theater Workers for Ceasefire  (TW4C) call to publicly endorse PACBI, joining many other arts organizations in solidarity, including the MENA Theatre-Makers Alliance .   We are clear that criticism of the military actions of a state, particularly warfare and genocide, does not constitute discrimination against a people, religion, or ethnicity. To stand against Zionism, which is a political philosophy the state of Israel has weaponized against indigenous Palestinian people, is to stand against settler colonialism, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing. We recognize that both Arab and Jewish people of the region and diaspora are semitic peoples, and we stand in solidarity with both, against antisemitism in all forms. We support the inspiring work of Jewish Voices for Peace , Israeli anti-Zionists, and all allies across the world who oppose the political campaign of Zionism, the violent military actions of the state of Israel, and all apartheid and segregationist laws and policies.   By officially endorsing PACBI, Art2Action commits to boycott:   Cultural Institutions that are involved in or silent about Israel's regime of oppression, and those who do not endorse the comprehensive rights of Palestinians under international law.  Israeli state-commissioned cultural products (e.g., plays, touring productions) created to serve as political propaganda (such as the “Brand Israel” campaign), unless state funding is free from political conditions.  Sponsored cultural events supported by official Israeli bodies, complicit institutions, or pro-Israel lobby groups, such as festivals partially or fully sponsored by these entities.  Normalization projects bringing Palestinians/Arabs and Israelis together, unless the Israeli counterparts oppose oppression and recognize full Palestinian rights, including refugees' right to return.                                      In line with BDS and PACBI’s guidelines, mere affiliation of Israeli artists and scholars with an Israeli academic or cultural institution is not  grounds for applying the boycott .  Rooted in principles of international law and universal human rights , the BDS movement, including PACBI, rejects on principle boycotts of individuals based on their identity (such as citizenship, race, gender, or religion) or opinion. If, however, an individual is  representing  the state of Israel or a complicit Israeli institution (such as a dean, rector, or president), or is commissioned/recruited to participate in Israel’s efforts to “rebrand” itself, then her/his activities are subject to the institutional boycott the BDS movement is calling for. For deeper understanding, we encourage everyone to read the full explanation of PACBI Guidelines:   https://bdsmovement.net/pacbi/cultural-boycott-guidelines   In addition, Art2Action is hereby embarking on a comprehensive process to align all of our organizational systems, platforms, and partnerships with the values and practices of BDS: Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions  – including moving our website off WIX to another platform, changing our credit cards and investments, and more, within this year. Change is a process that takes time, but we are committed to it. BDS is a powerful form of non-violent resistance that has proven historically effective. We remember how the global BDS Movement against apartheid in South Africa changed the course of history. And when we despair that change is impossible, we remember the words of Nelson Mandela: “Everything is impossible, until it is done.”   We urge theatre-makers, cultural leaders, and arts institutions across the United States to join us, to break the silence by denouncing the ongoing genocide funded by our tax dollars, and to take a stand against genocide, occupation, and apartheid – in Israel, Congo, Sudan, here on Turtle Island, and everywhere it still exists. We urge you to stand on the right side of history, and with us demand:   CEASEFIRE NOW! ARMS EMBARGO NOW!

by Andrea Assaf PART 1 : First Try I often question the efficacy of statements. But there are times when injustice and inhumanity are so egregious that the need to speak out, to cry into the void of cyberspace hoping that someone with the power to stop atrocity might actually see, to scream in the streets in the hopes that public opinion might finally be swayed, to try—the need to try, to do something—is so overwhelming that… it’s the least I can do. It's the very least… As I write this, in November, as the news coverage of the siege and bombardment Gaza wanes, the horrific violence that erupted in October has escalated to a systematic extermination campaign against trapped civilians. We don’t have the luxury of pondering the futility of statements when genocide is being committed before our very eyes. The whole world is watching, and no one will stop it. My own country, the United States, blocked a ceasefire . This is not a statement. It’s a plea… What world is this that we must beg for mercy from forces that clearly believe we are less than human? Because we are Arab, or Palestinian, or Lebanese, or Yemeni, or Syrian, or Armenian, or Sudanese, or Somali, or Afghan… The list is so painfully long… When the Israeli Defense Minister calls the people of Gaza “animals” and no one blinks – when the U.S. President begs Congress to send billions of dollars more to speed the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians – ethnic cleansing that we are all witnessing, RIGHT NOW – I can’t write this… Why do we need a “statement” that ethnic cleansing is wrong? That genocide is wrong? A “statement” that nothing justifies this – that no provocation could possibly justify or excuse the intentional starvation, forced expulsion, and indiscriminate bombing of 2.3 million civilians in Gaza , nearly half of whom are children. GENOCIDE is illegal, immoral, and inexcusable. Why does this need to be stated? And why on earth is it controversial? This is how I feel, when words are so inadequate… What has become of our humanity? I am ashamed to be a U.S. citizen right now. I have been ashamed of U.S. policies most of my life. I was ashamed when the U.S. refused to denounce Apartheid in South Africa; ashamed of the U.S. invasions of Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Iraq again; ashamed of the centuries-long history of racism in this country, ashamed of the colonization and genocide of Native American people, ashamed of the enslavement of African Americans, Segregation, continuing police brutality and serial incarceration of Black people; ashamed that it’s so hard for so many people in the U.S. to even say Black Lives Matter; ashamed of immigration policy, border walls, child separation, humans held in cages at the border; ashamed that we are, more often than not, on the wrong side of history – that as Dr. Martin Luther King stated, we must speak “clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government .” Ashamed that most U.S. citizens (including people of color and white people), deep-down, don’t actually believe that Arab lives matter at all – that we are somehow inherently evil, or that we aren’t fully human. It is hard to live with constant dehumanization. It eats at your soul. All people of color in the United States know this. But there is something about right now – about watching my own government condone and support the actual genocide of people who look like me, watching it happen in real time – I can’t write this… Then I remember how long Palestinians have been suffering, how long the road to liberation is, how we must learn from the movements that came before us to maintain vision, strength, and hope in the face of atrocity… And I remember the beauty, power, and inspiration of Suheir Hammad … PART 2 : Beginning Again YES, I condemn Hamas, and the October 7th attack that killed over 1400 Israeli civilians. Of course. I have stated that. Now please ask yourself: Why did you need me to state it? Why do you assume, or suspect, that my answer might be different? What would it mean to you if I didn’t state it? Would my lack of "statement" justify the extermination campaign that has already killed over 10,000 Palestinian civilians, including over 4,000 children in Gaza? With countless more missing or buried in rubble... Oh, you don’t believe those numbers? OK. Then what number would be justified, in your mind? At what point has “retaliation” or the “right to self-defense” (against a besieged, starving, weaponless population) been achieved? Equal numbers, like 1400? Or is extermination actually OK with you? No really, please explain – How many civilians, how many children is it OK to massacre? PART 3 : So Many Statements... Here are some excellent statements, by excellent organizations. Please read these : Statement of Solidarity from Golden Thread Productions MENA Theater-Makers Alliance: MENATMA Statement on Palestine A Statement of Solidarity from Noor Theatre Jewish Voice for Peace calls on all people of conscience to stop imminent genocide Veterans for Peace Statement on Gaza The Movement for Black Lives Calls for an Immediate End to the U.S.-Backed Occupation of Palestine There are so many important statements... Do you still think I should write another one? How many statements do we need, really? How many times must we write, or state, or scream, that apartheid is wrong, that collective punishment is wrong, that ethnic cleansing is wrong, that GENOCIDE is wrong? Tell me again, why must we state this? TELL ME WHY. PART 4 : Do Something! I actually don’t care what “side” you’re on, or what side you think I’m on. There are no “sides” to genocide. There are no “sides” to colonialism, occupation, Apartheid, to asymmetrical warfare targeting an entire population. It's not complicated . There is no complexity to a siege, no nuance to extermination. There is only right and wrong, in times of genocide. There is only the moral imperative to immediately stop it. Please take action : Call Congress Join a Protest Tell President Biden to Call for a Ceasefire Write to Congress: Demand Support for a Ceasefire Donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund Learn about the BDS Movement Shut It Down for Palestine Visit MENATMA and the other statements above for more resources, reading, ways to donate, to support Palestinian artists, to take action, and get involved. PART 5 : Failure Well, this is a terrible statement. Clearly, I have failed. There will be critiques. People will have strong opinions about what I have said. Word choice will be picked apart, references will be debated. I might even lose funders, or friends. I don’t know how to make a statement in times like these. I have more questions than statements: Questions about what has become of our humanity. Questions about how the human mind can justify atrocity for convenience, or money. Questions about our future, about survival. Questions about at what point capitalism, and those who benefit most from it, will destroy us all. Questions about how to reach people, how to break through all the propaganda, exploitation of historical trauma, and brainwashing – how to reignite what ember of selfless compassion might still be alive in our hearts. All I know is this: If the bombs do not stop falling, we have failed. If innocent children and civilians continue to die by the thousands daily, we have failed. If the siege of Gaza does not end immediately, we have failed. If Palestinian people live under occupation and apartheid for the rest of my lifetime, then we have failed. This is not a statement, it’s a plea. PART 6: Don’t Listen to Me… Listen to Palestinians. Their brilliance and resilience: When Suheir Hammad says: I will not ... break for you, I will not hate for you, Or even hate you. I will not kill for you. Especially, I will not die for you. When Naomi Shihab Nye writes: I support all the people on earth / who have bodies like and unlike my body… When Mahmoud Darwish recites: Without hope we are lost. On Saturday, October 28, 2023, the MENA Theatre-Makers Alliance (which I am a founding board member of) held the MENATMA 4th Annual Convening at Golden Thread Productions in San Francisco. We collectively decided to cancel the first panel we’d planned, and replace it with Palestinian Artists Speak Out . It was livestreamed by HowlRound Theatre Commons, and is archived online. Please listen to them: P.S . By Palestinian American poet Rasha Abdulhadi (LISTEN HERE) : "I come to you today not to call for donations or solidarity statements, which cannot stop bombs, but to unmake settler colonial worlds. I come here not to perform or plead, but to join Palestinians around the world and through time who continue to Teach Life … May you be refreshed every time you speak openly for Palestinian liberation. May all hearts be refreshed in a stubborn refusal and brave resistance to totalizing violence. May your commitment to Palestinian freedom deepen your commitment to your own. May we all be liberated from complicity and unleashed into history — both written and unwritten, and the not-yet-even imagined. May your heart be renewed with every action you take to end the brutality of settler- colonial apartheid, here and in Palestine. Genocides begun do not have to be completed... If our hearts break, let them break into action."

Nejla Yatkin in Ouroboros - Photo by Enki Andrews. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : Tampa, FL – March 29, 2025, Art2Action presents Guggenheim award-winning choreographer Nejla Yatkin at Stageworks Theatre as part of a five-city national tour of Yatkin’s acclaimed solo work, Ouroboros. Following its world premiere at Links Hall in Chicago in 2024 and a Tampa-based development residency hosted by Art2Action in January, Ouroboros has evolved into a moving theatrical solo performance combining movement, live music, and storytelling.   Inspired by the ancient Middle Eastern symbol of a snake eating its own tail, Ouroboros  takes audiences on a journey through the cycles of time, nature, and culture, weaving together contemporary and Middle Eastern dance styles, personal storytelling, cabaret-style song, and multiple languages–including English, German, Turkish, and ASL. This unique, interactive performance will welcome audiences with Turkish coffee and delights, gathering everyone in a circle on the stage. “Ouroboros reclaims the original power of dance,” says Yatkin. “For millennia, dance mirrored and imitated nature to understand ourselves and the world. Every time we come together in a circle, we heal a thread of connection that has been broken.”   Art2Action is proud to present this moving and magical performance during Women’s History Month, uplifting women’s stories, concurrent with the Voices of Women Theatre Festival in Tampa. With original music composition by Shamou, and live accompaniment by Sathapat Sangsuwan, dramaturgy by Joanna Furnans, costume design by Katrin Schnabl, lighting design by Alejandra Favila, set design by Delena Bradley, sound design by Sathapat Sangsuwan, and ASL coaching by deaf artist Susan Elizabeth Rangel, Ouroboros is a multi-sensory experience that promises to leave a lasting impression on audiences across Tampa Bay and nationwide.   The development of Ouroboros  has been supported by the National Performance Network (NPN) Creation & Development Fund and co-commissioned by Art2Action, MECA Houston, The Dance Complex, and NPN. Additional support includes the New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA) National Dance Project, the Links Hall Co-Commissioning Fellowship, the Sybil Shearer Fellowship Award, the DCASE Esteemed Artist Award, and more.   About Nejla Yatkin Nejla Yatkin in Ouroboros  - Photo by Enki Andrews.   “Dance Magazine names Miss Yatkin ‘Top 25 to Watch’ and it’s easy to see why: she is a fierce and supple performer.” – The New York Times   Nejla Yatkin is a choreographer and performer celebrated for her ability to create deeply resonant works that bridge cultures and disciplines.

A Transmedia Theatre Project DRONE is a new play by Andrea Assaf , and a transdisciplinary , transmedia performance project integrating theatre, live music, emerging technologies, and artistic containers for public dialogue. It explores the drone as a metaphor for how we become desensitized to daily violence (d omestic and global), the question of Moral Injury, and the effects of remote-control warfare on the human soul. SEE IT LIVE THIS SUMMER! DRONE Written & Directed by Andrea Assaf Presented by the Arab American National Museum @ Detroit Public Theatre July 31-August 3, 2025 RSVP HERE! SYNOPSIS : The play follows the story of a U.S. pilot who moves to Nevada for a new job, flying drones -- and what this job does to him, and his family. The pilot's story is juxtaposed with the poetic testimonies of The Survivors, who seem to speak to him through various forms of media and screens. As the pilot's mental health becomes increasingly affected, he escapes more and more to the Las Vegas nightlife, while his wife turns to faith for support, joining a local ministry (which unbeknownst to her, is preparing for the end of days). During an impulsive visit to the military base, she encounters a group of protestors, and a temple to the ancient Egyptian goddess, Sekhmet. As the play takes a turn toward tragedy, we meet a host of characters, including a retired Air Force General, a Sex Worker, a Preacher, and multiple Elvis Impersonators. The 2025 production of DRONE is made possible by a 2024 Joyce Award , and the generous support of the Ford Foundation, New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA) National Theatre Project, the National Performance Network (NPN, and more. In January 2023, the artistic team of DRONE performed a special, invitation-only, staged reading of new work-in-progress at the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) New Orleans. Performed by: Dora Arreola (Movement Director), Lyam B. Gabel , Ifrah Mansour , Heather Raffo , Kathy Randels , Nick Slie , Gerard Stropnicky , Ashley Wilkerson , and Anu Yadav .

In February 2021, Andrea Assaf received a Digital Residency with the Arab American National Museum . As Artist-in-Residence, she offered online workshops, and developed the script for DRONE , including online ensemble-building with an incredible cast of collaborating artists: Nick Slie , Kathy Randels , Robert "Bobby B." Martin , Ashley Wilkerson , Heather Raffo , Adelina Anthony , Ifrah Mansour , and Anu Yadav . Script development culminated in an online reading of the first full draft, with Critical Response feedback from invited partners and supporters. In addition, Art2Action and the Museum launched a national Call for Video Submissions . We invite Arab American, South West/Central Asian and North African (SWANA), Muslim, allied artists, military veterans, and community members, to share lived experiences related to key themes in this work. The DRONE project seeks to document direct experience with surveillance or militarized drones. If you have worked with or witnessed military or surveillance drones, and would like to share your story, please consider submitting a video to our interactive archive (currently in development). Videos should be 3-5 minutes in length, and should specifically reflect these themes. Use the approach of your choice -- a story, poem, song, movement, media or more -- to share your personal experience. All stories should be true, and all creative content must be original (or public domain). Videos submitted will be considered for showcases on our website, and for screening in conjunction with performances and dialogue events for this project. Visit our Submission Form , and SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE . Submit Your Story! Background & Vision DRONE is a large-scale, ensemble, multimedia theater work, in which visual and sonic environments are as strong as the performances. With Dora Arreola as Movement Director, performers develop a shared physical vocabulary, exploring the “drone” in movement as an embodied experience of militarization, as well as embodiments of ritual. Guest Choreographer/Dancer Nejla Yatkin will also embody the goddess Sekhmet! Music Director Eylem Basaldi and vocalists Kathy Randels, Lubana Al Quntar, and Aida Shahghasemi collaborate to develop an original sound score, exploring practices of “droning” in music traditions from Appalachia to Iran. Through the creative encounter of artists from the U.S. and the Middle East, we are exploring how the aesthetic drone can link and traverse global locations, cross time zones and centuries, to create a sonic base for simultaneity. In collaboration with Director Andrea Assaf , Scenic Designer Jeff Becker will develop imagery as the text and performance elements evolve together. Projection design will include live feed, documentary footage, digital art and interactivity exploring the play's themes and motifs, and transporting us to the play's various locations. Audience interactivity will include web and app-based components, as well as facilitated dialogues and community engagemen IMPACT : This project aims to expose the horrors of the mundane, and the deceptive “security” of limitless surveillance and endless war. We want to create a work that will bring awareness to the rapid proliferation of militarized drones, and stimulate public dialogue on this very real and disturbing subject. Our hope is to increase awareness of the military use of drones, for surveillance and bombing, in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, at the U.S.-Mexico border, and beyond…as well as within U.S. borders. Through national partnerships with CODEPINK Women for Peace, Veterans for Peace, and About Face (formerly Iraq Veterans Against the War), and other activist organizations, we hope to catalyze broad public dialogue and action on this crucial issue. We also hope to inspire audiences to reflect personally on how and why we choose to “drone” out, or default into denial and escapism – and how we could all choose differently, to actively engage in creating a more safe and peaceful world. Activism The photos below were taken in Fall 2019, when Art2Action joined CODEPINK and Veterans for Peace (VFP) for a week-long vigil to protest U.S. military drone strikes, outside of Creech Air Force Base in the Nevada desert, near Las Vegas. DRONE is made possible with funding by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Theater Project, with lead funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and additional support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. DRONE is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation & Development Fund Project; the NPN Creation & Development Fund supported by the Doris Duke Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency). For more information, visit www.npnweb.org . Early exploration support included the Network of Ensemble Theaters (NET) TEN exchange grant with ArtSpot Productions, and Alternate ROOTS. DRONE is an Art2Action production with additional support from the Ford Foundation.
