INTERIM DEAN – VISUAL & PERFORMING ARTS
Ashley DeMoville
“I have 20 years of experience leading complex collaborative theater projects, 10 years of experience as an arts educator and faculty leader in higher education, and nine years of experience serving on governing boards of regional non-profit theater organizations including the Hawaiʻi State Theatre Council and Region 7 of the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.
My creative work is interdisciplinary and explores community, culturally relevant performance, transformative leadership, and anti-racism in theater education. I have directed a wide range of genres including new plays, community-collaborative work, indigenous theater, musicals, bilingual theater – ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Language)/English and Spanish/English, theater for young audiences, classical theater, and film. All these experiences have demonstrated the value of arts training that celebrates each artist’s ethnocultural traditions and that de-centers Whiteness in artistic and teaching practice. My most recent qualitative research, “The Pursuit of Anti-Racism in University Theater,” involved a national study on theater-specific initiatives to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
