Any successful person will tell you - “It’s very important to plan a project before starting it.” But sometimes you need to get certain things before you can begin planning. This is a kind of pre-planning.
So - I’m currently trying to decide how to close the workshop out -
I would love feedback on what will be most helpful for you.
I have enough content and materials to do 3 more workshops like this,
so let me know how you would like to use your time.
Would you like to:
Go over your ideas in progress?
Get planning help?
Get technical help?
Go over more tips + tricks?
Let me know - leave a comment here!
The Joyce Theater has a new blog. Go on and check it out! On the blog, I saw a video of Chunky Move, which I’ve posted below. The interview was done by Marlon Barrios from dance-tech.

Democracy in America is a pretty interesting live performance with a significant online user-generated component. For the site, click HERE
Hard at work..
On March 6th, Danciti wrote a brief post on the workshop’s wiki.
Wiki’s are a great way for groups of people from around the world to share expertise on a common subject. Given the discussion surrounding online videos last week, this could be a great place to consolidate all that information and make it usable to the public.
I wonder how artists might creatively use wikis for documentation, development, and collaboration. Thoughts?
Dear Colleagues,
After attending a reading at Bluestockings book store, I am compelled to share the following resource: “Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity” by Anne Elizabeth Moore.
In our search for artistic integrity, whilst engaged with the business of the arts, we are faced with the issue of ’selling out’. Anne’s thoughts on marketing practices could provide powerful insight towards shifting the Arts Business paradigm - especially for non-profits. Her work alludes to effective and socio-psychologically positive practices for artists/non-profits seeking a wider audience.
Question: How can we utilize marketing practices and online media outlets to effectively reach communities with an investment to our art? To answer this question, we must know the practice of marketing - its uses and mis-uses - and we must know the implications of our own art deeply and objectively.
P.s. I’m reading these insights in-to Anne’s presentation; as I have not read the text, yet, I suggest reading the book to understand her perspective as separate from my own.
Thank you,
Mathew Heggem
