THE TRIBE
(a theatre incubation group adopting one artist at a time to cultivate
new work in Dallas)
The Tribe is an immediate support network for theatre artists, providing collective support in individualized ways (typically adopting one artist a month). Co-founded by Brigham Mosley, Dylan Key, Janielle Kastner, Katherine Bourne Taylor, David Price, Ruben Carrazana, The Tribe combines their resources, heart, ingenuity and sweat-equity in order to answer the question, "What do you need right now to make new work?" Maybe you've got a first-draft that needs a reading, or a fifth-draft that needs a workshop, or an unconventional new solo performance idea that needs several retail spaces and people to hold flashlights, or the inkling of a cabaret act that needs a cabaret night, or you're ready for a full production and need a production team -- we've done all of that and loved it! The goal is to provide emerging artists with focused energy and support, to help make Dallas' riskiest new work a reality.

“I think it came down to having tremendous faith in each other’s work,” says Kastner. “And I thought, ‘I want to see the script on your desktop. If you’re not going to ask someone to [produce] it, I’ll ask.’” Better yet, they could do it all themselves.The name they chose for their group, The Tribe, speaks to this go-it-alone attitude. They serve as each other’s producers, directors, cheerleaders or whatever else is needed."
