<p class="has-text-align-center">By the Honorable Mike McGuire, President pro Tempore of the California State Senate; <br>and the Honorable Jim Wood, 2nd Assembly District;<br>Relative to Commending </p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Dell&#8217; Arte International</strong></p>



<p><strong>WHEREAS</strong>, The work of an extraordinary community of artists located amid the redwoods and rugged beauty of California&#8217;s North Coast, Dell&#8217;Arte International is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary of service as a center for theater training, research, and performance, and it is appropriate at this time to highlight its many achievements and underscore the positive impact it has made in the local community and beyond; and</p>



<p><strong>WHEREAS</strong>, Established by Carlo Mazzone-Clementi and Jane Hill, Dell&#8217;Arte International has served the Northern California community of Blue Lake since 1974, and throughout its five decades of service, the artistic institution has strived to create resonant works of theater that are visceral and dynamic and engage the power and yearning of the imagination, truth, and mystery underlying the human experience; and</p>



<p><strong>WHEREAS</strong>, Committed to its mission of bringing physical theatre training traditions to the United States, Dell&#8217;Arte International has nurtured actor-creators through comprehensive training in mime, mask, movement, and ensemble creation, and the artistic institution has evolved into a multifaceted organization encompassing a company, school, laboratory, incubator, presenter, artistic community, and home; and</p>



<p><strong>WHEREAS</strong>, Dell&#8217;Arte International has made significant contributions to the cultural life of California and the nation, receiving national and international recognition for the style and artistry of its work, including support from esteemed organizations such as the California Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, and Irving Foundation; and</p>



<p><strong>WHEREAS</strong>, Renowned for its ability to create works of theater inspired by the people, land, history, and issues of Northern California, Dell&#8217;Arte International has enriched and enlivened California&#8217;s cultural scene through its performances, many of which are free to the public, and it has also established a collaborative working relationship with the local Wiyot tribe and its prison arts project, highlighting its commitment to fostering relationships between art and place; and</p>



<p><strong>WHEREAS</strong>, As one of the few rural professional ensemble theaters in the United States, Dell&#8217;Arte International has garnered recognition for its unique contributions to American theater, emphasizing a nonurban perspective, a 50-year history of ensemble practice, and groundbreaking work in physical theater forms that appeal to a wide audience; and</p>



<p><strong>WHEREAS</strong>, Since its inception, Dell’Arte International has weaved a rich tapestry of history and innovation while continuing to evolve, reinvent itself, and return to its source, and through its 50 years, the artistic institution has inspired and influenced countless artists, teachers, staff members, and students; now, therefore, be it</p>



<p><strong>RESOLVED BY PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE MIKE MCGUIRE AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER JIM WOOD</strong>, That they congratulate Dell&#8217;Arte International on the celebration of its fiftieth anniversary and commend it for its many accomplishments and the invaluable contributions it has made to the cultural life of the people of the State of California and beyond.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center">Joint Members Resolution No. 134<br>Dated this 26th day of April, 2024.</p>

<p>“We’re excited to engage with these talented individuals as we work to bring the organization back to full strength. The breadth of experience they bring from finance, arts administration, performance, history with Dell’Arte, and the sheer passion for theatre is already energizing us to move forward with positivity,” said Pat Bitton, chair of the board.</p>



<p>The following individuals were elected to the board effective January 22nd 2024, and join incumbents <strong>Stephen Buescher</strong>, Dell’Arte alum and UC- San Diego professor; <strong>Kash Boodjeh</strong>, architect; <strong>Pat Bitton</strong>, nonprofit arts supporter; and <strong>Julie Douglas</strong>, <strong>Kimberly Haile</strong>, and <strong>Tony Fuemmeler</strong>, DAI Leadership Council members:</p>

<p><strong>Stephanie Witzel </strong>was Dell’Arte’s Chief Financial Officer for seven years, retiring in 2018. She worked as a volunteer handling the auction at December’s Viva Dell’Arte Gala and in her words “what really motivated me to volunteer at this time was the staff.&nbsp; While working with them on the gala and silent auction, I was so impressed with their dedication and organizational skills.” Dell’Arte is delighted to welcome Stephanie back to La Famiglia; her institutional knowledge and financial acumen will be of great value.</p>

<p><strong>Gurudarshan “GD” Khalsa</strong> is an active member of the Blue Lake community and long-time supporter of Dell’Arte who was a close friend of the late Joan Schirle. GD is a mostly retired family physician and a long-time yoga practitioner who in his own words is “very calm and grounded by my decades of yoga and meditation”; he anticipates that his “discerning and analytical mind” will help to bring clarity to Dell’Arte’s decision-making processes during the rebuilding of the organization.</p>
</div></div>



<p></p>



<p>“It’s a solid sign that the organization is headed in a positive direction when individuals of this caliber step forward to participate,” adds Bitton. “We have several other potential directors waiting in the wings and are planning a second onboarding phase later in the year.”</p>



<p>Head of Training Tony Fuemmeler says, “Alongside the solid blend of skills, professional acumen, organizational history and community involvement which this group embodies, we are thrilled to also have their passion for Dell’Arte and professional rural theater and training as we move forward over the next few months into our 50th year.”</p>



<p>Dell’Arte is in the middle of a winter term of community classes, a series of professional workshops in the next few months, and a solo performance intensive with returning faculty Michelle Matlock in March. In the Carlo, guest performances have begun with the sold-out return of Papaya Lounge this past week. There’s music aplenty coming in February, starting with Home Cookin’ and The Appliances on February 10th, and Makenu Cumbia on February 24th. This summer marks the 50th Anniversary of Dell’Arte and will feature performances, popular summer intensives, the Prize of Hope, and the Folk Life Festival. More information about all of these and more can be found on the website at<a href="http://www.dellarte.com/"> www.dellarte.com</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Dell’Arte is currently seeking sponsors for summer productions and is also pleased to offer the Carlo Theatre space as a rental for third-party events. Interested businesses and individuals should contact Operations Manager Kimberly Haile at kimberly@dellarte.com.</p>

<p><strong>Alyssa Hughlett | January 8, 2024 | Statement of Departure</strong></p>



<p>My journey at Dell’Arte began as an MFA student and, after graduating from the program in 2015, I was hired by the school to teach acrobatics and physical training as part-time faculty. I performed, toured, and directed with my ensemble, UpLift Physical Theatre, acted and performed locally at the Arcata Playhouse, and Ferndale Repertory, and, most notably for me, co-created and performed in The Papaya Lounge, which continues strong in its sixth season this year.</p>



<p>When I took on the role of Interim Managing Director at Dell’Arte in late February of 2020, I had no idea just how much my life was going to change, and, for that matter, how much the world would change, and how precipitously. Much of my story, as it relates to my work in the last four years, is not visible to the community, mostly because arts administration is behind the scenes in service of the programs and artists. Yet, it can be said that administration is an art too, and I am deeply grateful &#8211; indeed joyful &#8211; for all that I have learned as a Managing Director and Executive Director/CEO.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Now the time has come to close that chapter, and for me to reclaim my artistic life, restore my physical and mental energy, and open up avenues for new personal growth. I am so appreciative of my mentors, close colleagues, and creative partners, who have seen me through some of the most difficult years I have had to navigate in my professional life. I have always valued and taken a holistic approach in my teaching, administrative, and leadership work, so now that Dell’Arte is entering a chapter of rejuvenation, I take the view that my departure helps to create space for new energy, perspectives, and growth to emerge.</p>



<p>I am excited to see where the Leadership Council will take Dell’Arte in its 50th year and beyond. After a short (one-month) breather, I’ll be returning to the Board, where I’m looking forward to supporting the organization’s future, both as a board member and a Blue Lake community member.</p>

<p><strong>Dell’Arte International Announces Newest Board Members</strong></p>



<p>BLUE LAKE, CA – Dell’Arte International’s Board of Directors today announced five new members who will help advance the nonprofit’s work of exploring theatre making, theatre training and the relationship between artist and community.&nbsp;</p>



<p>“We’re excited to expand our board with these leaders who have diverse experience and will bring an array of talents and insight to help strengthen the art of nonprofit governance at Dell’Arte,” said Managing Director Alyssa Hughlett. “We have worked purposefully to ensure our board and leadership include professionals from higher education and the arts communities, as well as long standing Humboldt County residents and award-winning alumni.”</p>



<p>Dell’Arte International in Summer 2020 committed to an internal racial and cultural assessment process and has moved forward with corresponding recommendations to revise term limits and recruit new board members to bring greater equity and representation to the board.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Dell’Arte Board of Directors will continue its effort to fully develop its membership into Spring 2021. Faculty Chair Elizabeth Colón Nelson said, “We are committed to meeting and expanding our stated equity goals, and supporting a cultural transformation at Dell’Arte in order to serve and embolden a diverse and inclusive next generation of theatre makers, practitioners and community engagement artists.”&nbsp;</p>



<p>“I am personally thrilled to welcome such a strong group of leaders to the Board of Directors as Dell’Arte navigates some of the most challenging months in its nearly 50 year history,” said Bonnie Neely, former board chair who recently stepped down after 13 years of service.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The new board members began their terms, not to exceed seven years, on January 25. The new board members are:</p>

<p>We are so <strong>grateful to Lauren Wilson, </strong>our School Director of the last 5 years, faculty member, and theatre artist, for her <strong>guidance and vision</strong>. Despite hearing from many graduates and colleagues about the <strong>profound positive effect </strong>Lauren has had on their work and lives in her performance review, and a unanimous vote of confidence from our board to continue as School Director, <strong>Lauren has decided to step aside </strong>and make room for new leaders to emerge.</p>

<p>Dell&#8217;Arte is very happy that <strong>Lauren will stay on the faculty </strong>and continue&nbsp;lending her invaluable voice and instruction to our students. We thank Lauren from the<strong> bottom of our hearts</strong> for her <strong>compassionate </strong>leadership, her<strong> tireless </strong>and often invisible work, her <strong>skill</strong> as a teacher and artist, her undying <strong>commitment</strong> to our students, and her <strong>vulnerability</strong> as we embrace changes ahead.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Please find a message from Lauren below</strong>:</p>

<p>Dear Dell&#8217;Arte Community,</p>



<p>This is to let you know that I&#8217;ve decided to resign from my position as School Director at Dell&#8217;Arte, effective October 1. My plan is to stay on as a faculty member this coming school year, and I truly look forward to working with students and colleagues in that capacity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Dell&#8217;Arte Board of Directors recently completed a 360 review of my work, and returned a unanimous vote of confidence in me and in my job performance as School Director. In spite of their vote of confidence, which I deeply appreciate, I believe the best thing for Dell&#8217;Arte in this moment is for me to step aside and make room for others to lead. It&#8217;s time for Dell&#8217;Arte to place our racial equity goals at the center of decision-making and to embrace this as a priority, for the benefit of the artistic work, the students, the audience, and the integrity of the training itself. By stepping aside, I hope to help support and further that work through my actions as well as my words.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I&#8217;m proud of the work I&#8217;ve done as School Director, and the progress we&#8217;ve made as a school in the past five years. During that time I&#8217;ve watched the school transform, becoming a place where creativity, joy, ensemble spirit, democratic values, multiculturalism, rigor, and love for the transformative work of theatre thrived. As one of the few women ever to hold the School Director position at Dell&#8217;Arte, I hope I&#8217;ve helped set a precedent for the kind of invisible, compassionate, principled leadership which serves a community of artists and students best.</p>



<p>My deepest thanks go out to the Dell&#8217;Arte students and alumni, for all you&#8217;ve taught me about life and leadership during these years. I&#8217;m grateful for the trust you placed in me, for the honesty and vulnerability you brought to the work, and for the vulnerability you&#8217;ve helped me to recognize and embrace in myself. To fully practice what I preach as a teacher, it&#8217;s time for me to leap into the unknown, to trust in the ensemble and let go of part of myself, so something new can emerge.</p>



<p>With hope and gratitude,</p>



<p>Lauren</p>

We are taking time to recalibrate and the necessary steps to weather the storm so that <strong>when we reopen at full capacity, we can do so with strength, perspective, and energy! </strong>In <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://dellarte.com/23630-2/" target="_blank">previous updates</a>, we&#8217;ve announced that we will not be conducting our Professional Training Program this year to prioritize safety. Our 3rd year MFA students are busy at work, however, <strong>redesigning our annual Holiday Show tour</strong> for the times and we are excited to share their progress with you as they go! <br></td></tr><tr><td><img decoding="async" width="564" alt="" src="https://mcusercontent.com/753efd323aef4be6faa47cd0e/images/88e02078-042b-4bb4-a27e-41afa1d1725f.png"></td></tr><tr><td><br><strong>It&#8217;s true! </strong><br><br>We love our audiences and <strong>we want to include you</strong> in our redesign of the annual Holiday Show Tour, which has brought professional theatre to communities up and down the North Coast for over 40 years! Even if you&#8217;re reading from afar, we invite you to contribute your thoughts and ideas as well. Hive mind! <strong>How can we bring our production to you this year?</strong> Email our artists as they create this year&#8217;s Holiday Show &#8211; an adaptation of <em>Hansel And Gretel.</em> <br><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="mailto:holidayshow@dellarte.com" target="_blank">EMAIL HOLIDAYSHOW@DELLARTE.COM</a></td></tr><tr><td><br><img decoding="async" width="564" alt="" src="https://mcusercontent.com/753efd323aef4be6faa47cd0e/images/27b00a69-2c27-43c6-bc65-3f3fce6dd464.jpg"><br><br><strong>SPOTLIGHT ON ALUMNI</strong>:<br><br>Our alumni all over the planet continue to amaze us as they engage the world around them with their artistry for better change. <strong>Idit Kischinovsky</strong> graduated from our MFA program in 2019. For the last several weeks, she has been <strong>attending protests in her home country of Israel</strong> with a mission to bring love and levity to the masses. Here are some words from Idit on her work: <br>&#8220;This clown is a police woman named &#8216;Straight to the Heart&#8217;. It means there is a woman in uniform that her duty is to listen to the hearts around her, to listen to her own heart, and to remind about the heart to each and everyone. She gives stickers of hearts to the crowd. She gives a spray with a potion of love (water) to anyone who wants. There are weekly big demonstrations in Jerusalem asking for change of the government and for change in general. It creates violence between the police and the citizens. The police is using force. Humor and love challenges power and uniform. She gets involved when there is violence trying to soften whats possible. At the beginning it was a bit frightening, not so much anymore. Moving towards healing.&#8221; <br><br>Way to go Idit! We wish safety and heart to all of those protesting and working for change in their own ways and take inspiration from your actions.</td></tr><tr><td><img decoding="async" width="564" src="https://mcusercontent.com/753efd323aef4be6faa47cd0e/images/75edfd4e-ebd6-4d8a-af9d-e08bf075f471.jpg" alt=""></td></tr><tr><td><img decoding="async" width="564" src="https://mcusercontent.com/753efd323aef4be6faa47cd0e/images/95125938-f0df-41dd-9361-44ecaaa59dd5.jpg" alt=""></td></tr><tr><td><img decoding="async" width="564" alt="" src="https://mcusercontent.com/753efd323aef4be6faa47cd0e/images/115c64e7-ce89-4b45-aa59-823b97ec25e5.jpg"></td></tr><tr><td>Photos by Rafi Michaeli, IIai Balaban, Avishag Gaya, Itai Slovatik</td></tr><tr><td><img decoding="async" width="564" alt="" src="https://mcusercontent.com/753efd323aef4be6faa47cd0e/_compresseds/0bd1b4a3-5761-4fc6-937f-f46037304156.jpeg"></td></tr><tr><td><br><strong>LIGHTS UP ON DELL&#8217;ARTE</strong><br><br><strong>Our Lighting Designer, Spike Foster, lit up Dell’Arte in red on September 1st</strong> for the RED ALERT DAY OF ACTION in solidarity with 1500 live performance spaces across the country who have joined in a movement to raise awareness around extending the RESTART Act.
