[wit] Tech Initiative (WITTI)

Female, trans, and nonbinary identifying people are not just underrepresented on the stage. There are even greater gender disparities and expectations behind the stage. Technical theater (all non-acting aspects of theater) is heavily male-dominated. In order to demonstrate that others can design soundscapes, build sets, run lighting boards, and more, [wit] has spearheaded the [wit] Tech Initiative (WITTI).

 

 

WITTI will:

  • Bring in speakers of marginalized genders with careers in technical theater to talk about their experiences

  • Provide mentorship for anyone wanting to learn more about technical theater by creating pairs between those with experience and those without

  • Encourage non-male leadership of technical aspects in our main stage productions

Our group does not subscribe to the gender binary and is open to all people who wish to elevate the voices of all those with marginalized gender identities and expression, including (but not limited to) women, transgender people, and non-binary folks.
