Abstract
ABSTRACT Keep the Arrows was a 30-minute solo performance about the experience, and discrimination faced by Black people who are active in Futurist Fantasy Fiction fandom from children to adults. Framed in the context of the conflict between idealized fantasy worlds and societal racial values, the performer/author attempted to show the audience a view of the intersection of these opposing influences, through a performance developed through dramaturgy, devising, and accent exploration. In this practice as research study, the performer/author explored their own experiences in fandom as well as the experiences of Black professional level cosplayers, casual fans, and people of all ages who share the stories of being unwelcomed in fandom. The mission of Keep the Arrows was to define and dissect the discrimination faced by Black fans of worlds beyond race.
Keep the Arrows是一个30分钟的个人表演，讲述了活跃在未来主义奇幻小说粉丝圈中的黑人从儿童到成人所面临的经历和歧视。在理想化的幻想世界和社会种族价值观冲突的背景下，表演者/作者试图通过戏剧、设计和口音探索的表演，向观众展示这些对立影响的交叉点。在这一实践研究中，表演者/作者探索了他们自己在粉丝圈的经历，以及黑人专业级角色扮演者、休闲粉丝和所有年龄段的人的经历，他们分享了在粉丝圈不受欢迎的故事。Keep The Arrows的使命是定义和剖析黑人粉丝所面临的种族歧视。
