Contact: Phone:
602-495-5983 Since he arrived in the state of Arizona nearly 40 years ago on April 8,th 1968 Rod Ambrose has been a leading advocate for social – change in the African American Community and easily one of the most prolific Black performance artists residing in the state. Rod’s extensive background of community service began almost from the instant that he stepped from a passenger train into the Phoenix depot. He was 18 years old and became one of seven teen reporters for an enrichment program that happened to be the outcome of a partnership between The Phoenix Urban League and The Arizona Republic Newspaper at the time. Best known for his powerful stage portrayals at the Black Theater Troupe, Scottsdale Stagebrush Theater and Herberger Theater Centers, Rod Ambrose has also served dozens of years as a local playwright, artistic director and prevention education coordinator for youth and teens through out the city and state. Rod Ambrose is a uniquely qualified individual whose proven abilities include excellent interpersonal, leadership, organizational and writing skills. Mr. Ambrose has an impeccable record for developing and implementing authentic and nationally recognized best practices program models. He is a train the trainer of group facilitation workshops and lecturer for Behavioral Health, Social Services and Professional Arts Programs. During the fall of 2004 Rod took advantage of an opportunity with the Arizona Commission on the Arts to undergo a special training for local artists entitled “The Understanding Participation Program”. That experience along with a cursory review of African American Institutions of Arts and Heritage led to a series of forums designed to address ‘A 21st Century Vision of African American Heritage, Arts and Culture” for all citizens residing in or visiting the state of Arizona. Rod Ambrose is available to work with all local non-profit organizations of the African Diaspora as well as other Institutions of African Arts, Heritage and Culture in the city of Phoenix and State of Arizona in a consensus driven effort to create visions and standards for local artists, their products and …’to develop and sustain a thriving economy.’ (MPAC) Areas of Expertise:
