One World Foundation, Inc.,
founded in 1981 as the
One World Arts Foundation, Inc., by W. SCOTT McLUCAS is a private
operating foundation developing new work in the performing arts internationally.
In Great Britain the foundation produced with Theatre Royal Productions A Woman Destroyed by Simone de Beauvoir, translated and performed by
Diana Quick. In France the foundation was first commissioner and co-presenter
of the world premiere of Bill T. Jones' award-winning ballet, Still Here.
With New York's Irish Repertory Theatre Company and York Theatre
Company, the foundation produced several award-winning plays and musicals
Off-Broadway and was associate producer of the Signature Theatre Company's
production of The Young Man from Atlanta by Horton Foote, awarded
the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1995. The foundation was seminal in
bringing World Stages (a division of the Gertrude Stein Repertory
Theatre) together with the Kennedy Center for a landmark,
interactive learning experience between Ladysmith Black Mombaza and young
student audiences at the Kennedy Center, in a New York City location
and in a university in Japan. In addition to PROJECT
DISCOVERY, the foundation's most recent initiatives include preliminary
research in ways to help the New Globe Theatre (the
reconstituted birthplace of Shakespearean drama) broadcast its extraordinary
cultural riches throughout the world, using twenty-first century technology.
In 1993 for his imaginative work in developing international artistic exchange
through the One World Foundation, Inc., Mr. McLucas was awarded the
Special Medal of the Writers Society of the United Nations .
