Kara Young reflects on the politics of performance.
. On a warm weekday in June, the actress, dressed in a blue sweatpants set and multicolored sneakers, looks as though she has been running around all morning. But when we sit on the couch in her parents’ cozy living room, I get a closer look at her closely cropped blonde hair and meditative eyes underneath the warm overhead lights, and there is not a bead of sweat dotting her forehead.
Those changes in the neighborhood inspired Young to pour back into her community through various projects. She has done voice-over work at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, played viola at the Classical Theatre of Harlem in a free production of Shakespeare’sand applied to be a member of the community board. “I didn’t get in, and I was so upset!” Young admits, comedically curling up into herself.
At that moment, Young made up her mind that she would dedicate her life to performance. Acting was magic, and she was the sorceress. In Off Broadway plays, she began to play more characters with one thing in common: their attempt to survive under capitalist structures.
Aside from Young’s political similarities with Jones, she was attracted to this particular project because of Riley’s history with activism and his singular creative vision. After first meeting at Sundance in 2018, the two clicked. A few years later, Young was auditioning forby memorizing 13 pages of text. She was floored when she got the job: “I couldn’t even believe it myself. I still cannot believe it honestly,” she says.
