March was a month of gathering. With USITT and the festival season in full swing, readers reached for orientation and craft, from a first-timer’s guide to Long Beach to Professor Duckworth’s enduring props guide and a candid EXPO-SCÈNE conversation. It was a month built around showing up and finding your footing. Threaded through it was a widening international chorus, Agata Uchman’s Iskroma, Calin Topa’s architecture rising from silence, Martina Bakst holding the sky by a single thread, and Rebeca Garro making space for silenced voices. A month about festivals, resources, and the artists gathering on the global stage.
