PETER ENGLOT (Sr. Vice-Chancellor, Rutgers University-Newark)
One of the most important things that we think of when we collaborate with people like DreamPlay is the importance of turning the narrative on Newark.
Because I think Newark knows what it’s about. But the world doesn’t know what Newark is about.
ANNE ENGLOT [Co-Director, Express Newark)
We co-create here. We co-produce art that expresses and is transformative and that we are all here to see tonight in this incredible event.
VICTOR DAVSON (Co-Director, Express Newark)
DreamPlay Media is a prolific group. Igor (Alves) is the real deal.
He represents what we expect of a community partner.
IGOR ALVES (Co-Founder, DreamPlay Media)
The concept is that we are creating original series in different formats that have a local angle but with global appeal.
YURI ALVES (Co-Founder, DreamPlay Media)
I was over there watching you talk and thinking about how many years ago the whole thing just manifested, and it’s cool just to see where it’s at right now.
