What Fuels Development?
The devised performance What Fuels Development? is based on the true story of a particular development struggle, in which residents of Skid Row in Los Angeles organized to successfully appeal a non-profit developers attempt to put an alcohol-serving restaurant in the ground floor of a residential hotel housing formerly homeless people. Many of the hotels residents are in recovery, while others are actively struggling with addiction and mental illness. Skid Row residents appealed the granting of the zoning variance and organized other Skid Row residents to testify at the zoning commission, and collectively their words created a change of heart in the commissioners.
What Fuels Development? is performed by Los Angeles Poverty Department (LAPD), which was the first arts organization on Skid Row and the first performing group in the country to be comprised mostly of homeless or formerly homeless people.
Presented by Asian Arts Initiative at Broad Street Ministry. asianartsinitiative.org/event/what-fuels-development
What Fuels Development? is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by Asian Arts Initiative in partnership with Armory Center for the Arts, Pangea World Theater, and NPN. For more information: www.npnweb.org
