ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the ways in which African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and Native American (ALAANA) members are precluded from equitable access and opportunities in a predominately White mutually reinforcing ecosystem of intersecting educational, performing arts, and philanthropic organizations. Implicit bias and discriminatory judgements individually and collectively practiced in the ecosystem through White privilege and White fragility, stereotyping and stereotype threat, colorblind racism, and microaggressions impede ALAANA members’ equitable access and opportunity in the performing arts workforce. In a White-dominated workforce opportunity structure, “both women and People of Color are concentrated into types of jobs and barred from entry into those jobs reserved for White men.” Rosabeth Moss Kanter argues that occupations create a “homosocial reproduction” of themselves, which perpetually and systemically allow select advantaged participants the educational and employment opportunities or access to pass though. Those who dominate the nonprofit performing arts workforce opportunity structure create educational, training, and employment opportunities for those who fit the “Snow White” role.
