Values
Appropriate
to
the
current
state
of
the
theatre
research
and
practice
we
have
five
core
values
which
underpin
all
the
activities
of
the
Society
and
act
as
a
‘toolkit’
to
guide
us
in
the
way
we
meet
our
objects.
The
TSTR
demonstrates
as
many
of
the
values
as
appropriate
in
all
with
which
it
engages.
Continual
Learning
and
Growth:
We
embrace
positive
change.
We
look
outside
the
walls
of
TSTR
to
learn
and
document
new
ways
to
do
things
better.
We
take
risks,
and
turn
both
successes
and
failures
into
lessons
learned.
We
pursue
a
creative
and
compassionate
environment
committed
to
integrity,
dignity
that
demands
dedication,
pride,
and
respect.
Ultimately,
we
strive
for
a
standardized
operation
of
the
Society
for
artistic,
programmatic
and
administrative excellence.
Inspiration
and
transformation:
We
strive
to
motivate
positive
change
through
theatre
research
and
practice.
We
believe
that
theatre
changes
lives
and
the
world.
We
seek
to
empower
theatre
researchers
and
practitioners
alike
by
giving
voice
to
varying
perspectives,
and
offering
opportunities for growth and a space to connect.
Representing
all:
We
champion
a
community
of
diverse
peoples,
practices,
and
ideas.
We
strive
for
open
and
powerful
communication
and
unprejudiced
understanding
that
strengthen
and
enrich
the
world.
In
theatre,
as
in
life,
we
believe
that
variety
fosters
a
more
interesting
and
vibrant
whole
while
enabling
a
deeper
appreciation
of
each
part.
Collaboration:
We
believe
that
the
best
ideas,
performances,
and
results
come
through
the
meaningful
convergence
of
ideas
and
perspectives
amongst
director,
actor,
writer,
designer,
and
audience.
Therefore,
we
strive
to
cultivate
and
protect
an
environment
of
collaboration
within
our
organization,
as
well
as
seek
opportunities
to
work
cooperatively
with
others.
We
aim
to
be
an
important
voice
in
the
theatrical
world
by
focusing
on
theatre
locally
that has an impact globally.
Promoting
Equity,
Diversity,
Inclusion,
and
Accessibility:
We
celebrate
individuality
and
honour
diversity
in
all
areas
of
our
organization.
We
strive
for
excellence
and
recognize
that
our
differences
make
us
stronger.
Therefore,
we
rigorously
work
to
break
down
barriers
to
attending,
learning,
and
creating
theatre—including
those
based
in
race,
gender,
sexuality,
ability
and
economics.
We
ultimately
seek
to
foster
and
promote
the
celebration
of
diversity,
equity,
and
inclusion.
As
an
organization
devoted
to
theatre,
we
believe
that
embracing
differences
is
essential
for
us
to
not
only
survive,
but thrive.
