Organization Changes/Challenges/Circumstances:
What special circumstances, challenges or changes have caused your organization to focus on management and/or
organizational issues at this time?
Like many other arts organizations, New Village Arts has had to alter its education and arts programming
for the past year to an online format, relaunching live theatre only just this past April with our productions at
The Flower Fields. But this time away from live programming has given us an opportunity to strategize and
plan new educational and artistic initiatives to launch on our return, as well as to break ground on our capital
renovation project which will house the new programming - both in our Sahm Family Foundation Arts
Education Center and in our two additional performance spaces alongside our mainstage theatre. We will
open our new building with even more capacity to serve the Carlsbad community. Because of the creation of
new programming in these new education and artistic spaces, we are reorganizing our leadership to include
the position of Education Director and Associate Artistic Director to oversee new and existing programs in
these areas.
Additionally, during our brief hiatus from live programming, we had the opportunity to dig deep and
restructure the priorities of our organization to reflect a more equitable, inclusive and diverse community.
This examination has impacted the development of our new programming and has helped us to restructure
some of the current programs. The Education and Associate Artistic Director at NVA will continue to
prioritize this work as it integrates into our new education and artistic programming.
Organization Capacity:
How will this project improve your organization's capacity to meet its goals and advance its mission?
Part of the New Village Arts mission statement is to provide a training ground for future generations of
art-makers and art-lovers. The creation of the Education and Associate Artistic Director position allows NVA
to fulfill this part of its mission by giving a passionate and highly-skilled rising arts leader in San Diego the
opportunity to activate creative thinking in Carlsbad’s youth and broader community through relevant and
impactful arts education programs tailored to its specific needs. Additionally, with the grand opening of our
new theatre space, we anticipate increasing our education programming by 25% in the upcoming fiscal year,
therefore requiring a dedicated staff position to bring that goal to fruition. Lastly, the creation of this position
allows us to align with our anti-racist goals as an organization, ensuring even better representation of the
diversity of the Carlsbad community in our core leadership staff, and modeling access for all of the future arts
leaders in our community. With funding from the City of Carlsbad, this project will ensure the next evolution
of the high-quality and deeply impactful programming Carlsbad has come to expect from New Village Arts,
just in time to celebrate the return to live theatre arts in our community.

had online readings of world premieres in progress. All activities took place online (mostly via Zoom), due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. This support helped NVA weather the pandemic and be able to continue paying staff
during this challenging time.
2020: Marketing Upgrade: NVA engaged the services of Fumi Matsubara of the Carlsbad Village-based
Defy Digital Marketing to create an action plan that elevated the visibility of NVA as the premier cultural
epicenter in Southern California through targeted digital marketing strategies. This partnership with Defy
Digital made NVA eligible for Google AdWords. While the program took longer to complete due to the COVID-

Frankie Alicea-Ford
Education and Associate Artistic Director
Frankie Alicea-Ford is a San Diego based, New York City trained actor and educator who
has been performing and teaching professionally since 2012. After receiving his BFA
from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, Frankie has performed and
taught, both youth and adults, in Prague, New York, Chicago, Connecticut and San Diego.
He created the theater program at Achievement First Middle School in Hartford, CT and
went on to teach at the award-winning high school theater program at the Greater Hartford
Academy of the Arts. He was also the Residential Director of The Center for Creative
Youth, based out of Wesleyan University. In addition to his work with NVA, he is also
working as a teaching artist with La Jolla Playhouse and Arts for Learning, San Diego.
Frankie has training in devised theater techniques, arts integration and trauma based
theater practices. He has previously served as the Educational Consultant, Artist in
Residence, and Artistic Associate for New Village Arts and has appeared as an actor on
their stages in CHASING FEAR, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, and the 20th
ANNIVERSARY CABARET SERIES.
His work as the Artist-in-Residence and Artistic Associate at New Village Arts took place
from July 2020 through June 2021. This was certainly a strange year to be in residence,
since the COVID-19 pandemic forced all performances and educational experiences
online. However, this did not stop Frankie’s work with NVA. He ran all online educational
experiences, interacting with students of all ages over the medium of Zoom. Frankly
Speaking, a series of cooking classes that also shared Frankie’s own life story appeared on
NVA’s YouTube channel and were enjoyed by many patrons. Frankie took a big role in the
creation of NVA’s world premiere holiday musical HOME: 1222 OCEANFRONT, A BLACK
FAMILY CHRISTMAS, as both a creator and an actor.
Frankie was able to grow the Teatro Nuevo Pueblo (TPN) scholarship fund, bringing in over
$1,000 to support free educational experiences for underserved members of our
community. He produced NVA’s first (online) drag show featuring all Latinx performers,
called New Village Reinas, and directed a staged reading of a new play called Nana’s
Theatre Spectacular. Frankie was active in the creation of New Village Arts Anti-Racist
Statement and Action Plan: https://newvillagearts.org/anti-racism/ and serves on the
Community Outreach Committee of the Board of Directors.

Frankie Alicea-Ford
Artistic and Personal Statements and Resume
My Story
I trained as an actor in the Tisch School at New York University. During my time there, I began working as a
teaching artist in a school in the Lower East Side - it was at that school that I saw the impact I could have
working as an educator. From that point on, I continued to work in that capacity, predominantly in
communities of color throughout the tri-state area.As I continued to hone my craft, I realized the impact that
these programs have and how much potential I had to help make a difference in the lives of my students.I
began focusing my work as an artist and educator on supporting programs that worked with these
communities -communities that looked very much like my own.
I ultimately found myself working as a full time classroom teacher at a middle school in Hartford,CT that
served low-income, predominantly Black and brown families. This school had never had a theater program so
for the first time in my career, I was tasked with creating one from the ground up. After 7 months of incredibly
hard work, I created curriculum for a general theater education for grades 5-8, created the school’s first
drama club, and produced Lion King Jr.This was the first moment that I facilitated a community coming
together, pooling resources, and making collective sacrifices for the success of their young people.When I left,
those programs were able to remain - continuing to offer theatrical opportunities to future students.
I then spent my summers working at the Center for Creative Youth at Wesleyan University. I started as a
teaching assistant and, after my 10 summers there,I ended as the Residential Director of the program,
overseeing a staff of 20 RA/TAs and 150 students every summer. Two years ago, I handed those programs off
and moved to San Diego where I have been working as a teaching artist for a variety of San Diego theater
companies and consistently seeking out opportunities to engage the communities I am aiming to serve.
Leadership Experience
As a young man living in a society that relegated me - and people who looked like me - to supporting roles
(assuming we were being seen at all), I never saw myself as either a leader or as anyone with anything
substantial to offer. In 2014 I was working as a teaching artist at a summer arts program at Wesleyan
University. A chain of events set off that left the program bereft of most higher level administrators.In an
attempt to save the program from ending prematurely,thus sending 150 students home 3 weeks early, I
humbly took on the mantle of interim Residential Director and assembled a team of people whose knowledge
could fill my gaps and ensure that the students would be able to have the artistic experience they were
expecting. Not only did the program survive, but it came back with even greater strength the following
summer with me officially at the mantle of the program.I learned for the first time that I have a natural
propensity towards leading and facilitating; not despite my identity but because of it. A Queer, Latinx man at
the helm of this program inherently created a safer space where everyone could exist a bit more authentically.
It is with that humbleness that I operate as a leader,understanding that strong leadership is more complex
than being “The Man in Charge”; that, in earnest,an effective leader is a quiet leader. It’s not about having all
of the answers but rather having the ability to bring together diverse voices and organize all of the facets of
our communal work towards a greater goal. Since arriving in San Diego in 2018, I have worked with multiple
arts organizations to create engaging programming,training fellow teaching artists in best practices in and
out of the classroom, creating socially conscious spaces for their employees and students and ensuring that
every human in my classroom or staff meeting is seen,heard, and understood. I am eager to find a space
where I can continue amplifying and deepening my leadership skills.
Background
I spent my formative years living in a two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, New York with my two parents
and two siblings. I spent my days trying to convince my older brother to let me play basketball with him and
my evenings reading books by flashlight. I remember loud music, hot food and dancing wildly with my tías.
Then one day, I was living in a cul-de-sac in Connecticut,learning soccer, and having to teach an awful lot of
DocuSign Envelope ID: CC333D68-65F0-4200-B534-D865CCCF092A
people how to pronounce what I thought was a pretty simple name. Being a young man of color in
predominantly white spaces and classrooms, I struggled in unexpected ways as I learned how to grapple with,
and ultimately learn to celebrate, my identity as a Queer Latinx man. I learned how to manipulate my culture
for the comfort and enjoyment of my mostly white peers and teachers; when to perform my heritage and
when to fold it nicely away, clean and unseen. As a slightly older man of color in predominantly white spaces, I
look back and realize that the one thing no one else could police or control was my voice. I focus my work now
on using my voice and my skills to challenge and disrupt those dangerous patterns for my students; to create
spaces where folks who have similar experiences to mine can exist in their most authentic selves and engage
with the art; to teach, and learn from, the next generation as we analyze and dissect how we can collectively
challenge and dismantle these systems that are in place to oppress us. My education, the sacrifices my family
has made, and my identity as a cis-man have afforded me a higher level of privilege than a lot of my BIPOC
peers - I am committed to utilizing my privilege to lift up as many of our voices as possible.
Statement about Becoming Education and Associate Artistic Director
There are many issues plaguing American theater, not the least of which is the fact that the majority of these
theaters are built on a groundwork founded by white supremacy. It should be our first priority as artists and
administrative leaders to create programming that dismantles that legacy. It would be a gift to be able to
work alongside like-minded artists in this time of national upheaval, to be an agent of change as we create a
new American theater. I am eager for an opportunity to sharpen my skills as an administrator and find new
ways to support our historically under-supported,underrepresented, and underfunded communities. This
position would allow me the privilege to unilaterally focus on developing my career as an arts administrator
in a way that is ordinarily out of my reach. As a young man, I learned that there is a direct connection
between my success and the success of my community;my National Honor Society acceptance was
celebrated up and down the proverbial block. I consider it a very real responsibility to continue seeking my
best self in an effort to raise up the voices and bodies of the communities that look like mine. This position
would bring me to the next evolution of my career.
Adaptability
During my time at NYU, I spent a lot of my energy focusing on Devised Theater. It’s a form of theater making
where the ensemble builds the narrative together.It demands lots of improvisation, trust, passion,and a
touch of madness. That training was the first place I learned the need to immediately revise anything that
does not serve the story, how to remain nimble as we search for creative solutions, and how to leave my ego
at the door because this work is important and bigger than any one person. That training also taught me that
without a touch of chaos, magic is impossible to find.As a theater educator, I often tell my students that there
is no such thing as ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ - only ‘strong’choices or ‘weak’ ones. And the only way to figure out if
something is ‘strong’ or ‘weak’ is to commit to a decision, ride it out to its conclusion, and analyze it. And, if
after all of that, we find it doesn’t serve us as artists - we throw it away and try something new.I carry these
ideals and principles with me every day in everything I do; it’s how I structure my classrooms and rehearsal
spaces.
As an artist, my impulse is always to create a little bit of chaos. I truly believe that innovation can only exist
in spaces where everyone is committed to investigating and editing our work in real time: constantly
searching for the most optimal way to lift up and support voices in the communities that we are fighting for.
The opportunity to work in a pilot program, to identify the kinks and help smooth them out, to assist in
creating a space that can foster true creativity and diversity of thought is not only something that deeply
excites me as an artist - it’s the only way I am interested in working.
Values
I was taught at a young age that my culture, my ancestors,my skin is an integral part of my identity. My
mother made sure I understood that the things I was teased for; the way a different language changed the
colors of my English, the way my hips swung to unheard rhythms when I walked down the hallway, my
lunchbox that included less sandwiches and pudding and more arroz and flan - that those things are the
source of my power. I was in eighth grade when I stumbled into a space that could truly hold me for the first
time, that purposefully wielded the values of inclusion,service, and heritage. The first space that recognized
all of the aspects of my identity and treated me no differently because of it. From that moment forward,I
DocuSign Envelope ID: CC333D68-65F0-4200-B534-D865CCCF092A
actively sought out spaces where I would be viewed as a whole human instead of a fun sidekick. Those spaces
created a safe harbor for me from the majority of my time spent in predominantly white spaces that viewed
me as slightly less than human. As an adult, I take it to be my responsibility to create spaces that view BIPOC
folx as fully human, spaces where BIPOC youth do not need to perform their culture or trauma for acceptance
but rather prove their worth through their work and their artistry. These are the values that I hold close to my
heart as an administrator and an artist. If a program isn’t consistently reckoning with all of these values
simultaneously, the program is not successful. In order to really serve a community, you must start with
recognizing the literal land you are attempting to serve. I believe it to be impossible to foster creativity in a
space that is not also acknowledging and celebrating your heritage. And if one is truly interested in something
bigger than performative inclusivity, all of those values must be firmly in mind when they are engaging in the
process of program design.
Looking Forward
My memories of high school civics class are filled with black and white images of the Civil Rights Movement
of the 50’s & 60’s. I would daydream about what I would do if I was living during those times. In my boldest
moments, I imagined myself on the front lines, putting my body in literal harm's way for those next to me. In
my quietest moments, I worried I would be quietly minding my own business. During my freshman year at
NYU, I saw those same images in color for the first time and all of a sudden the movement didn’t feel quite so
far in the past. My high school daydreams felt a bit more urgent. Now I find myself in 2021 and those
daydreams have become my every day. I’m proud to say that 17 year old Frankie would be very proud of 30
year old Frankie’s behavior.
What I’m beginning to realize is that there must be pressure being placed on these organizations from the
outside but that pressure needs to be matched by equal pressure coming from within. There are multiple
arenas for us to challenge and the work needs to happen simultaneously. This is my arena. I can do the most
good sitting at these tables, making my voice heard and demanding change on a larger scale. The importance
of this time is not lost on me. Every decision we make here, right now is laying the building blocks for future
generations of theater artists. The conversations and programs we create will directly impact the experience
of generations of BIPOC artists who will come after us. It’s an awesome responsibility and one that I am fully
prepared to engage with.
We are, in this moment, creating the future for my sobrino y sobrina, para mis hijos, para mis primos y
primas. I am determined to hand them a world that is better than the one I was handed. Y cuando mis hijos
están en un salón, looking at black & white photos of this current movement - they’ll see me and know that I
fought for them in every way possible.

To work alongside students of diverse ages and cultures,using my
theatrical/musical sensibilities to aid them in learning about themselves and the world and
society they interact with. In practicing drama, the students will develop a deeper
connection to their own creativity and imagination and thus encourage further self
exploration and enhance the student’s ability to critically engage with their surroundings
and strengthen their capacity to actively mold their communities.
