Here Alison is facilitating the closing plenary for Network of Ensemble Theatre Micro-Fest in Minneapolis, MN.
De La Cruz has been facilitating groups of all sizes since the early 1990s. This June 1996 photo was the first Brotherhood Sisterhood Camp that Alison served as Co-Director, she would later go on to Co-Direct the Youth Leadership Program later that year.
Thanks to Joe Luis Cedillo for capturing this moment of Alison facilitating with Zak Berman at the Theatre Communications Group Conference 2014 for our workshop entitled: Radical Outreach: New Directions for Activating Underserved Audiences.
