I thought the mama would get the hint, but she seems to have selective hearing. So, I got a little more direct with her. #mrgusandfriends #dogmoms #themama #overbearing #sillyme #poodlesofinstagram #poodles #dogsofinstagram #sideeye #napping https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ugFmrBdcl/?igshid=upl8p97tlnd3

Quality time with The Mama who gave us the gift of brief memory! She took one look at Marisue and exclaimed "You're my baby!" Needless to say we all started to cry! Marisue and I both have birthdays in June and The Mama's presence today was such a rare and special gift! #love #OurMama #TheMama #JuneBirthdays #Fam #YourMyBaby #JuneBaby #dementia #MemoryCare #TheMama2017

Watching season 4 for only second time and honestly its one if not my favorite season, actually if anything it is my first watchthrough as my first was watching it in max 240p screenrecorded that had the picture zoomed in or cropped out as we no longer have Disney Channel here and I didn´t want to wait. LOVE THIS EPISODE. This scene is literally everything, I love Rae had no hesitation to dance with her and it was seen as so normal. Mei didn´t even care or think its odd they are doing the tango together at work and they are able to dance so naturally you know they do it a lot. Also if you can I recommend highly wacthing this show or That´s so Raven or another language, gives you so much more perpective and content. In a scene in this episode when they are talking to the twins and Tess they say ´we are the adults, we are the mamas, In spanish this was translate to ´somos adultas, somos vuestras mamas´which translates to we are the adults we are your mums, and as I said Levi wasn´t in this scene so Raven was refering to them all as their kids and Chelsea is their mum too. So obessed with this season, their realtionship is better than ever

Hey MAMArtist* Ashley Thaxton-Stevenson (she/her) !

What are the ages of your child(ren), and where do you live? I am originally from Southern California, now living in Brooklyn with my spouse Robert and our 2.5 year old Caius!

How do you describe your art practice?

I am a theater maker and educator, working across many different techniques and genres of theater. Some recent projects include Associate Directing Fiasco Theater’s Pericles at Classic Stage Company, performing in Spellbound Theater’s Shakespeare’s Stars (a multisensory Shakespeare experience for ages 0-3 and their caregivers) at the New Victory Theater, and playing both Kamala Harris and Mike Pence in Bertolt Brecht and 21st-Century Verfremdung, with the Verbatim Performance Lab at NYU.  As an educator, I teach acting with NYU's Program in Educational Theatre, develop curriculum with Fiasco Theater, and teach upstander skills through drama to elementary school students with the Brooklyn Arts Exchange. Across all these different projects, I am most compelled by how we can use theater to tell community stories for our joy, healing, and collective liberation.

Who is your artistic crush?

Right now, I am re-reading the plays of Susan Glaspell, after being in the room for a reading of her play The Verge earlier this spring with Fiasco Theater. SusieG was a genius and I would love to go back in time and have a drink with her and talk about plays. 

What is a superpower Mother+Artists have?

Snacks and wipes at all times. I never go anywhere anymore without snacks and wipes, and this is true of so many parent artists I know. And you never know when in rehearsal, on the subway, at a community event, during a protest, or on the street where someone will need one or the other (or both!). It’s a super power to be able to care for folks' physical and material needs in that way.

You have something exciting coming up! PLEASE SAY MORE ABOUT IT! YES! I am the Community Engagement Coordinator of Fiasco Theater and we have been hosting a workshop series this fall called Play|Ground in collaboration with PAAL and Broadway Babysitters. These workshops are centering caregiver artists, and rooted in play, community, and embodied practice. We are also providing free onsite, arts-based childcare! The next workshop is taking place on Saturday, June 1st and space is still available! Folks can learn more and sign up HERE. Registration is on a sliding scale starting at $5.

How did motherhood directly, indirectly, oppositionally or integrally influence this project? This workshop series really is a dream come true in terms of integrating all the things that are important to me as an artist and a human! Since becoming a parent, I have had to be so much more intentional about how I spend my time. When you weigh the cost of childcare, busy schedules, the needs of my child and my family unit, and my desire to spend time with my child, it has been very hard to prioritize my own continued artistic learning and development. The goal with Play|Ground is that caregiver/artists won’t have to make some of these hard choices. Instead, they can instead show up to a workshop as their full selves and get enrichment for their spirits and artistry, all the while knowing that their child is being well taken care of in a safe and creative space.

What are you currently reading or listening to that is giving you thoughts, feelings and reactions?

Two books I am reading right now that are really impacting me are Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad and How the World is Passed by Clint Smith. I am also here to proselytize to you about the utter delight of romance novels (some recent recommendations include How to End a Love Story  by Yulin Kuang, Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez, and Funny Story by Emily Henry).

I am listening to Jon Batiste’s album WE ARE, the podcast Normal Gossip, and Norah Jones’ albums from the early 2000s.

Any message for Mother+Artists reading this?

The thoughtful care, tending, and grace that you show to a dear collaborator, a student, or your child is something that you yourself also deserve.

BEST LINKS to find you and your work!

So #Eurovision is cancelled - that means we’ve got 41 songs that need some love now that they won’t be performed in front of 200 million people! First up, my personal favorite of this year: Sweden’s @themamas.se with Move! This song brings me pure joy and I can’t get enough of it! #themamas https://www.instagram.com/p/B97NDzYhddc/?igshid=1796o1m12re9z

Couldn't talk The Mama out if giving me a bath. Raph and York couldn't talk her out of it either. We are such suckers for her treats and sweet talk'n ways. #mrgusandfriends #themama #bathtime #rain #york #raphael #raindropskeepfallingonmyhead #bathwateronmyheadtoo 💧💦

Just took a listen to the final mix my upcoming single, “Missing You”, through these gems!!! Super special thanks to Raj and Dinde at @stealthsonics and Randy and Tanya at @artistrelations for my custom pink & green (wink 💗💚) in-ear monitors (IEMs). They are not only perfectly suited for “me”, but without a doubt the BEST sounding monitors I’ve ever owned (and after 13 years of touring, I’ve owned A LOT). Can’t wait to listen to the rest of my project with these! Stay tuned!! . . . #stealthsonics #tiffanymonique #muvalandmusic #artistrelations #kwiztronic #stevenslate #studiolife #missingyou #themamas #singersofinstagram #singersofig #artistsofig #unitedmasters #singerspotlight #giftedvoices https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzi7VXJFUzi/?igshid=16ly180504q5
