<b>BRING THE BEAT BACK </b></div>
<br />
This has really been a banner year for Bring the Beat Back, my queer black sci-fi music-theatre passion project!<br />
<br />
Following our run at the Polyphone Music Festival in Philadelphia and a few pop-up presentations in NYC for Pride, we're finally bringing the show to the Windy City!<br />
<br />

This September, <a href="https://www.otherworldtheatre.org/bring-the-beat-back" target="_blank">Otherworld Theatre Company is presenting a concert production</a>, and I'm so excited about what's coming together. We're mid-way through rehearsals, and there's tons of work to do, but I'm loving all the talent and thrilled to share this project with the community that helped the music come to life!<br />
<br />
At the same time, my Bring the Beat Back team in NYC is actively developing music and digital content to share the experience in new and exciting ways. So I'm looking forward to sharing details on that in the months ahead.<br />

<b>A NEW SCI-FI ANTHOLOGY SERIES IN DEVELOPMENT!</b><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.hivetheseries.com/" target="_blank">HIVE</a> is a new sci-fi digital series which is heading into production this fall.<br />
The project is co-created by Stephanie Jeter, Tim Maupin and yours truly!<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">The series features a rotating group of diverse
characters making their way in Chicago, tackling different contemporary
issues at the intersection of biological, social and technological change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://www.hivetheseries.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="780" data-original-width="1150" height="433" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0CjXilDDNy7ETgSjAV_hQNsPZbwBIo2Pag6yaWoxU31JtjakyOwDVl1PQ0RStiwvzAQ9f5BWMgTijnjSEAjZ05q9mxTP7zFWUtNI-Xx6usH_qfYLPEsUnXJhUxsFsJ8hO-octlil9vgNk/s640/HIVE+Title+Card.png" width="640" /></a></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.hivetheseries.com/" target="_blank">Coming Soon</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
We've gotten a few grants and awards as the foundation of our production budget for season one, and we're actively seeking additional funding, creative and production resources to bring our vision for HIVE to life.<br />
<br />
<b>AND THAT'S JUST FOR STARTERS</b><br />
<br />
<br />
On top of these two projects, I' have a gig coming up at the Museum of Contemporary Art, and I'm actively developing two new Afro-futuristic theater works.<br />
<br />
So this is shaping up to be my busiest fall season ever. A few key grants and fellowships have helped make all this possible, but as usual, each project is calling for a bit more funding to do it right.<br />
<br />
That's why I'm really grateful to have the support of so many donors and followers and friends pitching in along the way. <br />
<br />
Please consider dropping a few coins in the bucket and I hope to see you at a presentation soon! <br />
<br />
Best,<br />
<br />
Derek<br />

was going as planned. Sure I was writing stuff, but I wasn’t at my
best, and only the same few here and there seemed to care. I kept
setting my heart on opportunities that ended up just out of reach. I was
stuck. And getting out of that funk has taken some work. Some soul
searching, some humility, and a re-commitment to my authentic voice.
I’m still working on all of that, by the way. But I am so happy to be<span class="text_exposed_show"> in a relatively better place these days. </span><br />
<br />

Living in community with 11 other creative spirits has been
restorative and affirming. Every life really is a story. I got a lot of
work done, including the foundation for a new Afro-Surreal Performance
Suite. (Water crisis, digital divides, the contours of individualism, oh
my!)<br />

Anyway, I’m still getting back into the real world swing of
things. Managed to catch a few readings and presentations over the
last few days at Chicago Dramatists and Reunion. (Chicago artists are
firing on all cylinders, as usual!) The months ahead are going to be
PACKED with projects in the Windy City and Gotham.<br />
<br />
So before I got too
consumed with the grind (not to mention current events), I wanted to
share all these joyous vibes I’m vibin’ right now, and make sure I
acknowledge how clarifying and wonderful this time has been. More
later folks!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the things I love about being a dramatis<span style="color: #0000ee;">t </span> is the way
collaborations can surprise you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a playwright, there’s a certain foggy vision in my head
with every script I write.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cadences of
voices, controlling images, questions, moments<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">.</span> For me, the first draft process is trying to translate as
much of that foggy vision to the page as possible. Then the rewrite process
is figuring out what the play wants to be, and rewriting it towards that
objective.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve developed a bit of a sense – over the years – on when a
script moving through my process is actually ready for collaborators. In other
words, I prefer to work through my early drafts with my playwright brain a few
times before I bring them to potential directors, actors, and most especially
audiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But every now and again, that’s not quite the way it
goes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few weeks ago, I had the
pleasure of bringing brand new pages to the Prop Thtr for my reading in their
Church of the New Play reading series.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To be completely honest, this reading snuck up on me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had my head buried in all of the Bring the
Beat Back things in February, and when I came up for air, my Prop Thtr date was
about a week away!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh my.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I brought in the beginning of something I’ve been hoping to
work on, but could never quite find the time: A ONCE AND FUTURE DOPENESS
(working title), a bit of a yarn about a troupe of black activist time
travelers from the future trying to figure out the best way to be down across
the timeline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>I wasn’t sure how any audience would receive this,
but I did manage to snag an awesome cast for the presentation (shout outs
below), who somehow found the humanity in quite an oddball bit of text.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Artistic Director Olivia Liley moderated
a post-presentation talk back that revealed a lot of the potential in the
piece. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So happy playwright over here! There's a play in these pages somewhere. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m really glad I didn’t cancel my reading even though I didn’t
think I had anything ready to go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it’s
important for artists to have spaces like this, where they can test out stuff
just to see what they have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>So props to Prop Thtr for this awesome series. And a huge thanks to the cast that assembled to explore A
ONCE AND FUTURE DOPENESS for the very first time:

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: black;">Formerly famous, Beverly
Baptiste has a brand-new memoir, telling her story her way to win the
internet… Unfortunately, her nephew-intern has failed to bring the
millennials, her public relations push has gotten zero press, and she’s
not even VIP at the galas anymore! But when a man from her past emerges
to throw a wrench in America’s next political whatever, this diva finds
herself called to step forward and share her truth, or stand back and
let chaos reign…</span></span></div>

2018 was so busy and amazing, and I want to express my

really showed up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>THANK YOU. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
For me 2018 highlights included a workshop production, a few
staged readings, a short film, and a digital series premiere to boot! I have an
awful lot to be thankful for and excited about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

about time management, balance, and focus into 2019 too! </div>

First up this year is a reading of my brand new play – REAL

I have to share that we lost artist-activist Andre Alexander
Lancaster this autumn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He believed in
Bring the Beat Back before there was a single word on a page and nurtured its
early development via a residency with Freedom Train Productions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Losing Andre hit us hard. I’m grieving and don’t expect I’ll
be over it anytime soon, but this somber time also gave cause to re-affirm my
commitment to bringing this show to life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And I’m thrilled to announce that Bring the Beat Back will be in
Philadelphia as part of the University of the Arts Polyphone Music Festival,
with presentations on Feb 26, 28 and March 2. The official
announcement will be going out after New Year’s so stay tuned!</div>

And that’s just one of several opportunities-in-progress for
this passion project of mine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can’t wait

<div class="MsoNormal">
This play follows an unconventional scientist on a quest to
cure a mysterious disease.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a little
futuristic, a little metaphysical, and is loosely inspired by the experiences
of several black women I know who’ve pursued careers in science, technology and
engineering.

<b>ABOUT THE PLAY </b><br />
Set in the near future, Serious Adverse Effects follows an unconventional scientist on her quest to cure a mysterious new disease. To succeed she must find forgiveness from a family with no reason to trust her and embrace the transformative potential of her own healing. It features a cast of four and is inspired by the resilience of African-American women in the 21st century.<br />
<br />
<br />
The National Black Theatre has nurtured the development of this play via an amazing 18-month residency experience, culminating in this workshop production. Mary E. Hodges is on board as director, with a dynamite ensemble bringing the pages to life! We’ve pushed the workshop to include elements of set design, light and sound.<br />

The Harris Theatre was packed for the presentation of STORIES AND SONGS OF CHICAGO at the Harris Theater earlier this month. It was the culmination of a whole summer worth of hard work as part of the team the Lyric Opera assembled for Community Created Performances. <br />
<br />
I'm really proud of the work we did together, and was thrilled to see this review of the show: <br />

Join us in bringing a unique live performance to life!<br />

Bring the Beat Back is a queer, black, sci-fi music theater experience. An amazing team is coming together for the next step: concert performances slated for April 2017.
This will be the first time we present the show with a live audience, part performance, part dance party. Your support will ensure the show's success, and make it possible for our creative team to continue its development.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In August 2011, I was one of 6 playwrights invited to the very
first season of 48 Hours in... Harlem, a theater festival that brings together
a rotating roster of black playwrights, directors and actors to reimagine
classics in the black theater canon. Flash forward a few years and that
festival is entering its 7th season, has an Obie under its belt and just
launched a new sister series in The Bronx.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
This is the first of what I believe will be be many publications made possible
by the awesome team at <a href="http://www.harlem9.org/" target="_blank">Harlem9</a>. So I'm honored to be in this first
anthology, alongside the artists from seasons 1 and 2!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I do have one more project with a publishing commitment I was
hoping to announce before the end of the year, but it looks like that will be a
2017 surprise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a bit back, avery r. young was chilling on the couch at my
place after some dinner and conversation with aymar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>i mentioned a black sci-fi kind of vibe that
informed a lot of my work as a playwright. next thing i know avery’s commenting
about how folks always bowing down to Sun-Ra for all that afrofuture. but if
you really wanna know what’s going on, you need to be talking about George
Clinton Parliament Funkadelic and all of that.<o:p></o:p></div>

a break, in 2012, Bryan E. Glover's Earthseed visions hosted a private staged

any show I’ve done so far). My partner and I had reserved seats!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the performance… it brought tears to my

Trekkies! Before we do a Star Trek Beyond Deep Dive I wanted to take a moment to reflect and express appreciation on what we have as a Fandom this year:<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Star Trek Beyond - which is a worthy installment to the Film Franchise. (more on that later).<br />
<br />
2. Anticipation around the new Star Trek Discovery Series<br />
<br />
3. All sorts of Extravaganzas to celebrate this milestone year: 50 YEARS of Star Trek.<br />
<br />
<br />
So much YES! So much "Live Long and Prosper." So much is going right. And sure there's plenty to nitpick about with the Film and lots of things to worry about with the TV series, but overall Beyond is pretty good, and we haven't seen Discovery yet. It's not out. Which is giving us Star Trek Geeks an excuse to SPECULATE. Which is also a huge part of the fun.<br />
<br />
So, I'm wondering. IS THIS A PEAK TREK MOMENT? Are we at a High Point with the Franchise? <br />
<br />
I think so. But a lot of this depends on your thoughts on what Star Trek Beyond was trying to do. I think it was fairly successful, and held true to the core characters. But there are counter-arguments (which we will explore very soon, just giving a few core fans a chance to catch up). And if anything, Star Trek Beyond reminded me that the Trek that truly makes me Geek Out is the TV kind. And that's coming soon!<br />
<br />
YES. I THINK THIS IS A PEAK TREK MOMENT.<br />
<br />
But perhaps not the Highest Peak for Star Trek. <br />
I still think that's 1991. <br />
<br />

<br />
We said goodbye to Gene Roddenberry and celebrated his legacy!<br />
We said hell yeah to Star Trek TNG Season 5: with Darmok, Unification and Time's Arrow, not to mention I, BORG. I mean that season ROCKS!<br />
And we had lots of anticipation for the next Trek spin-off, even though we didn't know it was DS9 yet.<br />
So yes, I think 1991 is the tippy top Peak Trek, but 2016 is a high point!!<br />
