LAPD

I wish we had heard more about the personal stories of what brought these people together. I loved the fact that they created and prepared a performance for us and I was honored to watch there work. But I wish we could have had the chance to simply speak to these people. Why they came to Skid Row or what there connection to skid row was if they hadn’t physically lived there. I was more curious about the neighborhood and what within the neighborhood inspired them to stay and create art, rather than an end result that was prepared for us. I kind of wish that we had caught them more off guard to see who they really are; while we saw what they believe in, which gives us an idea of they are, we didn’t see them at their most basic. I wish we had had a talkback with them and I wish we had more time with the people of LAPD rather than their guest artists. I loved the trip I just wish we had learned more about their programs rather than how they wanted to appear to people on the outside, their inner workings, rather than the mask they wear for others.
