I-Bushwick Starr-ayinanto okwangoku.I-Bushwick Starr Njengoko ukuvalwa kwe-COVID-19 kugungqa, imibuzo engenakubalwa malunga neqonga lomdlalo weqonga: Zingavulwa nini iindawo? Ngaphandle kwesitofu sokugonya, ngaba abaphulaphuli baya kubutha kwindawo evaliweyo? Ngaba imirhumo irhoxisiwe yonke i-2020? Kodwa owona mbuzo usisiseko, okhoyo ngowona unzima ukuwuphendula: Ngubani oza kuphila?
Imibutho emikhulu nemincinci-ukusuka kwi-Broadway mega-landlord Shubert Organisation ukuya kubavelisi abaqeshisa i-75-isihlalo se-Off-Off Broadway iibhokisi ezimnyama-bayopha imali, abasakwazi ukuhlawula irente, ukubambisa okanye ukuhlawula. Ngowuphi kubo oya kuthi uza kuyeka? Impendulo engaphelelanga yeza ngoMeyi 6, xa iShetler Studios kunye neithiyetha zavala iingcango zalo ngokusisigxina emva kweminyaka engama-30. Kamva ngala mini, i Ithiyetha eyimfihlo eQueens isongwe emva phantse kweminyaka eli-13. Njengomlawuli wezobugcisa beSecret uRichard Mazda ekhalazile kwingxelo kawonke-wonke: Inyaniso ecace gca yeyokuba lonke ishishini lemidlalo yeqonga lisengxakini enkulu ngoku ndilindele ukuba siyakuba yenye yeqonga elincinci eliza kuvalwa.
Kodwa i-Off-Off Broadway iyaququzelela ukuzigcina. NgoMeyi 28 ngo-1: 00 emva kwemini, i UManyano lweThiyetha elizimeleyo kunye nodade wabo umbutho we-IndieSpace uza kubamba Indawo encinci yeRente yoXolelo kwiHolo yaseKapa ukubiza amagosa anyuliweyo ukuba akhusele imibutho yobugcisa encinci ekugxothweni.
Ialam iyathetheleleka. Ukuthintela ukuqhambuka kwesibini kunye nokuwa kwemarike yestokhwe, umntu ucinga ukuba izindlu ezingama-41 ezibanzi ngoku ezifihlakeleyo ziya kuthi ekugqibeleni zivuke, nganye nganye, kwaye iGreat White Way iya kuphinda ikhanye. Ngokubhekisele kwi-Off Broadway-uninzi lwamaziko amakhulu, angajonganga nzuzo anje ngoLuntu, iVineyard, iSigaba seSibini, utyikityo, i-New York Theatre Workshop-siza kubona ukuba ngaba iifolge, iNkqubo yokuKhusela i-Payroll (PPP) mboleko kunye nobubanzi beziseko kunye abanikeli babucala babagcina benyibilika kude kufike ixesha lokuba ivele.
Kodwa ngubani ogcina i-Off-Off Broadway? Yiloo nto indibaniselwano yokuhluthwa kweendawo ezinezihlalo ezingama-99 okanye ezimbalwa nangamakhulu amaqela aziqeshisayo kwimidyarho emiselweyo. I-League ye-Independent Theatre idwelisa iindawo ezimalunga ne-138 zeSixeko saseNew York, kunye neendawo ezingaphezu kwe-40 ezingezizo ezesiko (ezinjengeegalari okanye imivalo). I-Indie Theatre Fund ineenkampani ezingama-546 ezingamalungu. Ezi zinxibo, kunye nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali olunesihlangu kunye nabanyanisekileyo, abaphulaphuli, zezona zisengozini kakhulu kule ngxaki ikhoyo ngoku. Kuyothusa ngokwaneleyo ukucinga, yithi, iSoho Rep engenakuthelekiswa nanto iya esiswini, kodwa kuthekani ukuba ikota ezintathu ze-Off-Off ziyanyamalala? Ukuphulukana kwesi sixhobo sokukhulisa italente yenqanaba elikhulayo kuya kuba buhlungu.
Emva kokuba uShetler noMfihlo bewile, bendifuna ukukhangela impilo yezinye zezona ndawo zixabisekileyo zesixeko. Oko kwavela kwakwahlukile kodwa amabali ahambelana nokuthengiswa kwezindlu kunye nobudlelwane, ukucwangciswa kwemali kunye nokuphuculwa kwenyanga nenyanga, nokukhusela ikhaya nokuba awunakumema nabani na ukuba azodlala.

Itanki
Ifumaneka kumgangatho wokuqala kwi-312 West 36thIsitalato Itanki izithuba ezibini-ibhokisi yezihlalo engama-50-60-yekota yekota emnyama, kunye ne-roomier 98-isihlalo esiphambili. Ngaphambi kokuba i-COVID-19 ibethe, umlawuli wezobugcisa uMeghan Finn wayejongile malunga nemidlalo engama-80 ngenyanga: umdlalo ohlekisayo, umdlalo onomdla, umdlalo wovavanyo, kwanomculo (umboniso wokugqibela endiwubonileyo ngaphambi kokuvalelwa kwabakho: umculo womculo wohambo lukaGreg Kotis, Andiyonto ). Sikurhoxisile ukusebenza kukaJuni, utshilo uFinn. Yayiyimidlalo engama-273 ngamagcisa neenkampani ezingama-90 ezahlukeneyo. Kwaye oko kuyaqhubeka veki nganye sivalekile ngoJuni odlulileyo.
Ngaphezulu kweendawo ezininzi ezingasebenziyo, iTanki ithembele kwiofisi yebhokisi ukuze iqhubeke, kungoko umthamo ophakamileyo. Ngerente yenyanga nenyanga kunye nokugcinwa kwe- $ 18K, uFinn kuye kwafuneka athembele kulwalamano oluhle kunye nomnini wesakhiwo ngelixa elinde umthetho wokuxolela irente ukuba udlule eAlbany. Itanki ayihlawulanga irente kwezi nyanga zimbini zidlulileyo, kodwa umninimzi ebesebenzisana. Ngandlela thile, ukwinqanawa enzima njengathi, uFinn uthi. Yinto nje ezantsi kwikhonkco lokutya. Ukuba akukho sibonelelo srenti kuthi kwaye akukho sibonelelo semali mboleko kuye, akukho sibonelelo.
Njengazo zonke iithiyetha, iTank igcina ubukho be-intanethi obudlamkileyo. Rhoqo ngolwesiBini, iyabanjwa ICyberTank , umboniso weentlobo ezahlukeneyo. Into malunga neTanki asenzi nje i-theatre, uFinn ucacisa. Kukho iimbongi, iimvumi, oonodoli, oomaqhula. Banobuchule ekwenzeni kunye nokufikelela kumxholo we-Intanethi. Ukanti, uFinn uyavuma ukuba iCyberTank isekude ekubeni ngumvelisi wengeniso othembekileyo. Sisebenza nzima ngenene ukubona ukuba siza kuqhubeka njani nokuzalisekisa iinjongo zethu, utshilo. Ngethamsanqa, sinenkxaso evela kuWoward Gilman Foundation, iMellon Foundation, iHenson Foundation. Kodwa kufuneka kubekho isiqabu.

Ngokungafaniyo neTanki, iziko lobugcisa elineminyaka engama-27 ubudala APHA (145 Sixth Avenue) inendawo yayo yeqonga ezimbini. Nangona kunjalo amatyala ayo-ukuhlawulwa kwempahla, iindleko zokuhlala, izinto ezisetyenziswayo-nazo zidibanisa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-18K yeedola ngenyanga. Kwaye ngelixa umseki wezobugcisa uKristin Marting engabileli ukukhutshwa, yonke imihla ngumlo. Ngeliphandle, ndiziva ndonwabile kwaye ndidiniwe endakha ndaziva emsebenzini wam, utshilo uMarting. Ndiva uxinzelelo oluninzi malunga nokugcina abasebenzi bam abali-16 beqeshwe, ukugcina abaculi bethu behlawulwa, ukugcina ishishini liqhuba.
APHA iinkqubo ze-Intanethi (kubandakanya eyokuqala Zoom opera ngu Kamala Sankaram no Rob Handel) babhalwe phantsi sisibonelelo esingxamisekileyo esivela kwi New York City Community Trust. Ke amagcisa abona imali. UMarting uthi APHA uqhubeke nokuhlawula imali mboleko kwaye khange anyanzelwe ukuba abeke nabani na, ngenxa yemali mboleko yePPP. Ukufakwa kwemali kumdibaniselwano kubonelela ngenkxaso kwiiveki ezisibhozo, iipesenti ezingama-75 zayo zokurhola kunye neepesenti ezingama-25 kwiindleko zokusebenza. Imali mboleko iyaxolelwa ukuba umbutho uyahlangabezana (neenguqu) zeenqobo zokugweba, ekufuneka uMarting abukele njengentaka. Ngaphaya koko, umlawuli uthi APHA uceba ukuxoxa ngokuqhubeka kwemali mboleko neCitibank.
Xa ungazobi kwaye uphinde uzobe uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali, uMarting ebecinga kakhulu ngokubhekisele kwikamva lobugcisa. Kuyanceda ukuba uchithe amashumi eminyaka ephonononga imithombo yeendaba, indawo yokujonga indawo ethile kunye nendima yabaphulaphuli. Kungenxa yokuba uyakuqonda: Nokuba abaphulaphuli bakho banzima kangakanani, akunakulindeleka ukuba abantu abangama-90 bahlanganisane egumbini ukuze babukele isiqwenga somdlalo weqonga. I-Marting ishukunyiselwe ukudala iminyhadala engaphandle ekuhlaleni okanye imiboniso yokufakwa ngaphakathi, kunye namalungu amahlanu okanye alishumi abaphulaphuli abahamba phambili kwisakhiwo, okanye imidlalo ye-hyperlocal yabantu abangakwaziyo ukuya edolophini. Mhlawumbi amalungu abaphulaphuli anokuzikhuphelela izikhokelo ezimanyelwayo, ezibakhokelela ekuzingeleni abahlaseli. Lowo ngumqobo omkhulu ngokwenene, uMarting uyabona. Wenza njani ukuba abantu bazive bekhululekile ukuhlangana kwakhona?

Enye yezinto ezinokusinceda siphile, utshilo u-Theresa Buchheister, kukuba sinabasebenzi abahlawulwa kancinci kuyo yonke indawo yobugcisa eNew York. Umlawuli wezobugcisa osandul 'ukuthweswa isithsaba IBrick Theatre (uthathe indawo ngoDisemba) uvumile ukuba intlawulo ephantsi kwelitye yimeko awayezama ukuyiphucula. Eyasungulwa ngumlobi-umbhali-mbhali uRobert Honeywell kunye nomlawuli-umbhali uMichael Gardner 2002 kwigaraji yangaphambili yezitena e-579 Metropolitan Avenue, iBrick ibe yeyona ndawo iphambili kwindawo yezemidlalo yaseBrooklyn. U-Buchheister wayekulungele ukuvula indawo kwisizukulwana esitsha-kunye nexesha elitsha lokukhula-xa i-COVID-19 yagungqa yonke into.
UBrick uhlawule irente epheleleyo ngo-Epreli kunye nesiqingatha serenti ngoMeyi, kunye nezicwangciso zerhafu kaJuni. Kodwa ngokunyanisekileyo, ukuba kufuneka siqhubeke nokuhlawula irente, ndiye ndoyike, utshilo uBuchheister. U-Gardner no-Honeywell, uyacacisa, banobudlelwane obuhle nomnini-ndlu, kodwa isivumelwano sexesha elide kufuneka senziwe. Ngaphandle kokuxolelwa kwirente okanye inkxaso enkulu yomanyano, kwaye ukuba abaphulaphuli ababuyi kude kube ngunyaka ozayo, uthi umbono unokubakho ngokungathandabuzekiyo.
Iza kuvela phi imali? Amaziko amakhulu anokujikela kwiibhodi zawo, anabasebenzi bezigidi, kwaye acele iminikelo engxamisekileyo. IBrick, njengoninzi lwezithuba ze-Off-Off, ayinaye utata weswekile. Kukho ukuxhaswa ngemali, kodwa uBuchheister unobudlelwane obunzima kunye nokuxhamla abantu ngexesha langoku-ngakumbi ukuba kuthetha ukucela uluntu ukuba luxhase iBrick. Ubhekisa kutshanje Iphephancwadi loMdaniso inqaku ngu-director-choreographer uRaja Feather Kelly egxeka amaziko acela iminikelo xa kufanelekile ukuba anceda amagcisa. Njengabantu abaninzi abangasebenziyo okanye abajongene nezifo kunye nokufa, angayidlulisa njani loo nto? Asikonyusi mali ngaloo ndlela, utshilo uBuchheister, kuba uziva nje, kum, ngokuziphatha okuhle.

Akukho mntu uphefumla ngengxaki, kodwa iinkokheli ze I-Bushwick Starr yenza isandi ithowuni elinganisiweyo, nethemba. Siziva sinethamsanqa kuba sikwindawo entle phantsi kweemeko, utshilo uNoel Allain, umseki kunye nomlawuli wezobugcisa eStarr.

Kuba i-Starr sele irente uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali, abalindelanga zingxoxo ezimbi kunye nabanini bezindlu.
Ngaphezulu kweenkampani ezininzi ezingasebenziyo, i-Starr ibonelela ngeenkqubo zemfundo nezoluntu, iminyhadala elungiselelwe amaqela ahlukeneyo: abantwana besikolo kubantu abadala. Zonke iiklasi zethu kunye neeworkshops ziqhutywa kwi-intanethi ngoku, uAllain uyavuya ukunika ingxelo.

Ukuphela kwalo nyaka-mali kungaphezulu okanye kungaphantsi kulungiswe.
Ixesha eliyimfihlakalo kuwo wonke umntu, kodwa ubuncinci iStarr ime kwindawo ezinzileyo, enkosi kwisiseko kunye nenkxaso yombuso. Kungumcimbi wokujonga kunyaka ozayo, utshilo uKessler, ukuba izakuqhubeka ixesha elingakanani kwaye yintoni ezakutshintsha malunga nokuqokelela imali, iziseko, urhulumente nayo yonke loo nto. Kuba kanye siziva sinethamsanqa ngokwenene ukuba siyindawo yemidlalo yeqonga encinci. Siyindlu enezihlalo ezingama-70, esikhedama ngayo kumaxesha aqhelekileyo, kodwa ngoku iyinzuzo yokwenyani. Ikwanika iStrarr inkululeko yokubuza ukuba ngawaphi amaziko amakhulu abonakala ngathi alibale: Zifuna ntoni amagcisa? Sijonge ngokupheleleyo kwezobugcisa, utshilo uKessler, kumathambo ethu ukuba sisabele ngendlela efanayo kulo mzuzu: Yintoni esinokuyenza ukunceda? Benza ntoni amagcisa ethu ngeli xesha kwaye singayixhasa njani loo nto?
Abantu baseMelika kwezobuGcisa banako kuqikelelwa ukuba ilahleko yemali evela kwinkathazo ye-COVID-19 kwicandelo lobugcisa nenkcubeko iya kuba malunga ne- $ 5.5 yezigidigidi. Umndilili wempembelelo yombutho ngamnye uqikelelwa, kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo, ukuba ube yi- $ 38K. Veki nganye, elo nani liyenyuka. Njengabalandeli bakaBroadway bathandazela ukuvulwa kwakhona, okanye sibukele ikamva leengxilimbela zengingqi ezinjengeZiko laseKennedy eWashington, DC, eGoodman Theatre yaseChicago, okanye eLos Angeles Theatre Centre, kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba ezona mpahla zincinci zineyona khonkco ithe ngqo amagcisa. Rhoqo ziqhutywa ngamagcisa, kwaye zinika italente evelayo ithuba lokuqala. Ukuba olo luhlu lokukhula kwenkcubeko lucinyiwe, yonke indalo iyasokola.
