Sunday Roundup – April 15

It’s a grey drizzly day today. Coffee and reading are on the agenda (and the library).

Reading for Easter Monday – a bit of a roundup and an interesting article on the phrase “emerging artist”.  Still trying to think of another word. Rookie, maybe?

Off To APASO! – I attended two plenary sessions last week – Simon Brault on No Culture No Future and Tim Jones on Creativity in a Low-Growth Economy. Both excellent and thought-provoking and added to my stash of things to think about.

Cook A Meal. Do Laundry. Experience Art. – As I said, the conference gave me things to think about. This was one of them – art experience as life skill.

Quick PSA for an upcoming event – Workshop: Building an Ensemble With Jillian Keiley. I have known Jill since we were in directing classes together at York and I cannot recommend her enough.

Time: 10:00AM – 1:00PM
Location: Factory Theatre (125 Bathurst Street)

Linky Wednesday

Some things I’ve found while clearing out my bookmarks.

Why Don’t Theatres Talk To Each Other More? – again from the Guardian.  When I saw the title, I assumed it was about the dilemma of the “fours openings, one night” that seems to happen a great deal here in Toronto. Despite the opening night directory that TAPA has, the problem of who gets the press is a frequent one.

This is more about not sharing marketing resources and PR – and that made it even more interesting. I think we do share this way more than the companies in the article – I think we do program stuffing, postcards at the box office, show this ticket and get X% of another company’s show and vice versa.
Do we?

Field Trip!

My friend Meghan asked me to be a chaperone for a trip her class is taking today. We’re off to the Applied Arts Award Winners Exhibit & Creative Schools Expo and it’s being held at Artscape Wychwood Barns. This works for me on at least three levels so I am going. More later.
