What is our Core Artist
Leadership?
Full Circle uses a unique model of inclusive leadership that embodies our company’s Equity, Inclusion, Diversity-based mission: All of Full Circle's major artistic decisions are made collaboratively by our Core Artist Leadership, comprised of Core Artists and the Artistic Director, together representing diverse racial, ethnic, gendered, and other identities and communities. These artistic decisions are made using a consensus process.
In addition, Core Artists are given priority as artistic leaders of Full Circle theater projects, and as theater artists in Full Circle’s programming (as directors, actors, writers, etc.).
The current members of our Core Artist Leaders are Shá Cage, Quinci Bachman, Rich Remedios, Alex Barreto Hathaway, Jacqulin Stauder, Reyna Rios, Lisa Vogel and Taja Will (FY26 Resident Artistic Collaborator).
Many thanks to founding Core Artist members Rick Shiomi, Martha B. Johnson, Stephanie Lein Walseth, Lara Trujillo, James A. Williams, Siddeeqah Shabazz, and Ricardo Beaird!
