b/d/a OR The Race Play OR 'I can't believe I did a racism! (In my head)'

b/d/a OR The Race Play OR 'I can't believe I did a racism! (In my head)' is a Physical-theatre Play co-written by Tia Ashley Kushniruk, Shammy (Shamsa) Belmore, Jocelyn Mah, and Clarke Blair, with support from Catalyst Theatre's CONFLUENCE Fellowship in Edmonton AB.

This work follows three characters in a perfect sitcom world solving a problem with rent when the actors begin switching roles and ultimately reveal the racial biases underneath each said character, and between each other, culminating in a posed question to the audience - "What would you do?"

In 3 Acts, b/d/a OR The Race Play OR 'I can't believe I did a racism! (In my head)' examines colour blind casting and the stories that we continue to tell ourselves to make everything seem 'all right'.

b/d/a OR The Race Play OR 'I can't believe I did a racism! (In my head)' requires a technical residency and two additional research periods before presentation. This work is not 'Dance' rather it is 'Physical Theatre'.
