Artist in Action Fellowship
Action Lab Welcomes Dennis Leroy Kangalee as Artist in Action Fellow
The Action Lab is thrilled to announce the appointment of Dennis Leroy Kangalee as an Artist in Action Fellow, effective October 15th.
The beginning of a bold and beautiful collaboration, the Action Lab is known for its curation and development of artist-organizer relationships and new works that foster an understanding of the struggles both in the world and in the trenches of activism. Heavily inspired by radical geographer Ruth Wilson Gilmore, the Action and the Kangalee Arts Ensemble’s ideas will stimulate a provocative and necessary growth amongst both the Left and the performing arts.
Known for his groundbreaking work in theater and film, Kangalee brings a wealth of experience and a passion for social justice to the Action Lab. His most recent projects, including the critically acclaimed "Krapp's Last Tape" and "The Life & Death of Art," have captivated audiences with their powerful performances and exploration of complex themes.
As an Artist in Action Fellow, Kangalee will be developing a new original work entitled "My Dying City (or The Social Justice Suicide Hour): A Rogue Revue For Broken Hearted Radicals." This provocative piece will delve into the intersection of revolution, genocide, and personal struggles, offering a unique perspective on the challenges facing society today.
The Action Lab, a leading organization dedicated to fostering artist-organizer relationships, is excited to support Kangalee's vision. Together, they will work to create art that inspires, challenges, and empowers audiences to take action.
