2012 Performing Arts Exchange by South Arts

Notes

Welcome to the 36th Annual Performing Arts Exchange! Presented by South Arts in partnership with the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs Dear Friends and Colleagues, Welcome to Florida! It has been 13 years since PAE has been in the state and we are pleased to show you our brand of Southern hospitality once again. Miami Beach is more than beautiful beaches and beautiful people; we have a vibrant arts and culture scene that is nurtured by diverse communities and seasoned with international flavor. This year South Arts and the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs have teamed up to bring you opportunities for business networking, professional development, showcasing, and more. We have developed an exciting program of events that will inspire you throughout the coming year. Special thanks go to Michael Spring and the MiamiDade County Department of Cultural Affairs for their generous support of PAE. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy a week of unforgettable experiences at PAE with an opening at the incredible New World Center, a keynote by Edward Villella, founding artistic director for the world-famous Miami City Ballet, a knock-out selection of juried and independent showcases, and more.

Enjoy!

PD@PAE Workshops All PD@PAE workshops are in the Splash Area at the Fontainebleau. See the Faculty Bios section for more information about workshop presenters.

Presenting 101: The Fundamentals of Programming & Artistic Planning Splash 9 What does it mean to be a good presenter? This workshop - first in the three-part series offered each day of the PAE - will cover the essential elements of programming and artistic planning. How do you find artists, and work with them and their managers? What is the booking cycle? These and many more questions will be answered in this interactive workshop. Through Presenting 101, you’ll learn what you need to know in key areas of presenting and take away tools and resources to continue your professional development after PAE. Presenting 101 is delivered over three morning sessions and is designed as a comprehensive curriculum, so attending all three sessions is highly recommended. Faculty: Perry Mixter, John Ellis, Amy Dupain Vashaw

Making Artistic Cents 3: The Relationship Among Artists, Agents, and Managers Splash 10 Who Needs Whom and When? When and how do an agent and/or manager sign an artist? What are the terms? What are the contractual expectations for everyone? Is there an industry norm? How does a self-managed artist find an agent? Is it necessary? Should agents and managers or artists make deals with presenters - or does it matter? Find out the answers to these questions - and more - as we dig into the various roles and relationships with an industry panel of experts. Sponsored by the NAPAMA continuing education series. Faculty: Michael Blachly, Laurelle Favreau, MOJO, Andrea Sabata

Connecting with Audiences on Their Terms Splash 11 Meaningful audience engagement is critical as arts organizations, big and small, work to increase revenue and support from ticket buyers and donors. Over the

past 10 years, research shows us what audiences like to attend, but little has been done to help us get their attention. In what ways can we put all the research into practice that grows our bottom line? After all, research is useless until it is used to make our daily work better and more effective. This session will focus on identifying practical tips and insights based on audience insights. Key findings from audience research provide valuable insight into ways arts presenters, producers, and artists of all genres can engage audiences in new and exciting ways. This session will help you come closer to answering the question, “who are these people, and in what ways can I reach them more effectively?” Faculty: Elizabeth Auer, Christy Farnbauch

Miami International: Presenting the World Splash 12 Join an outstanding group of Miami-based presenters for a lively discussion about the many joys and challenges of presenting international artists. This session will leave the hassle of visas behind and get to the larger issues and ideas around programming that brings nationalities together. It can be easy, it’s always worth it. These visionary Miami leaders, along with the National Endowment for the Arts staff, will stir your thinking about both how and why to engage with artists from around the world, as well as how and why to bring your audiences into close contact with multiple cultures. Faculty: Beth Boone, Ever Chavez, Rosie GordonWallace, Mary Luft, Pennie Ojeda

ArtsReady: Building Sustainability for 2012 and Beyond Splash 13 Running an arts organization today takes more vision and planning than ever. Not only do arts leaders have to tend to the traditional duties of an administrator, they must also consider how to protect their operations from an array of vulnerabilities, from weather events to data security issues to sudden staff losses. The ArtsReady movement includes partners/funders including the Association of Performing Arts Presenters, Theatre Communications Group, National Performance Network and Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. This conversation will help you assess your organizational emergency readiness and strengthen your ability to continue to operate when facing a crisis of any scale. Join us and learn from the experienced team at ArtsReady.org. Faculty: Mollie Lakin-Hayes, Susie Surkamer

Bright Spot Leadership Splash 14 Holly Sidford of Helicon Collaborative and Carlton Turner of Alternate ROOTS will probe Helicon’s recent research on arts organizations that are adapting most successfully to current conditions. The organizations that are thriving and surviving right now are focusing on animating clear purpose, deep engagement with community, honest analysis, organizational flexibility and transparent leadership, all of which may be more important to success than pursuing innovation for innovation’s sake.

Keynote Luncheon with Edward Villella Sponsored by BiCoastal Productions and The Hit Men, Booth #514. Introduced by Daniel Lewis, founding dean of dance, New World School of the Arts

A Life Influenced by Art Few have had the type of enormous cultural impact on a community that Edward Villella has had on Miami. Founding Miami City Ballet in 1985 and Miami City Ballet School in 1995 (with wife Linda Villella), Mr. Villella carried the master choreographer George Balanchine’s repertoire to Miami and South Florida. He has built Miami City Ballet into the internationally-respected company it is today, with appearances at New York City Center, the Vail International Dance Festival, and the Theatre du Chatelet for Les Etes de la Dance festival. In repertoire by Balanchine, Twyla Tharp, Trey McIntyre, John Cranko and Jerome Robbins, among others, Villella has featured impressive young dancers whom he has helped to train and nurture. This commitment to identify and cultivate young talent is a hallmark of Edward Villella’s career. Mr. Villella’s keynote speech will weave together his perspective on a lifetime in dance, the vitality and richness of the Miami community, the Balanchine legacy, and his love for teaching.

Breakfast Showcase Sponsored by Geodesic and Rondi Charleston, Booth #300

Rondi Charleston is a captivating communicator. She embraces you with a warm, wide smile, looks you straight in the eye and you’re hooked by her natural honesty, Midwest charm and true sophistication. The New York Times wrote, “Utterly delightful… she works her way into listeners’ hearts…her emotional range is wide. She’s in tune with herself and a joy to hear.” Says Show Business Weekly, “Charleston’s languid phrasing and superb breathcontrol puts a lustrous polish on her top notch band’s crisp and economic playing.” The Village Voice praises “her phrasing stacks up against the best of them.” And Back Stage calls Rondi “one of those new discoveries that critics love…a new voice full of promise.” Breakfast will be served.

Through Presenting 101, you’ll learn what you need to know in key areas of presenting and take away tools and resources to continue your professional development after PAE.

Daily Schedule Friday, September 21 PD@PAE Workshops continued

Social Media Fundraising Strategies Splash 10 Mary Trudel and Rory MacPherson, whose “How Strong is your Social Net” workshop was a hit at the PAE in 2011, will dig into a critical area of fundraising: generating contributed income using social media. Skills and tactics ranging from crowd-funding to donor cultivation to sponsorship trades and “eyeball farming” will be discussed in this lively, interactive session. Faculty: Rory MacPherson, Mary Trudel

Cultural Democracy and Community Curation Splash 11 Cultural democracy proposes that fair, equitable and proportional attention be given to each cultural community. What does this mean for the performing arts? It means that in order to strengthen our communities and create robust institutional programs, those cultural community members must be seated at the decision making table. Learn why the practice of creating an environment of cultural democracy is so critical to the success of your organization and hear about concrete practices that have been implemented across the country to help create sustainability and deeper community engagement. Faculty: Kathryn Garcia, Kaisha Johnson, Monique Martin, Baraka Sele

Arts Funding in America: Status Check! Splash 12 What’s happening to funding at the national level? Have we reached the tipping point? What is the health of the field? Is Crowdfunding OVERcrowded? Facility Overload? Michael Orlove, the new Director of the National Endowment for the Arts’ Presenting Program, MK Wegmann, CEO of the National Performance Network, and Holly Sidford of Helicon Collaborative will host a conversation with workshop participants about where money is going, how it is being raised and a glimpse into the future. Faculty: Michael Orlove, Holly Sidford, MK Wegmann

Show Me the Money: South Arts Grants for Presenters Splash 13 Join Nikki Estes, Program Director at South Arts, to learn about the grants program and improve your South Arts’ grant writing skills.

important tips, the panel process, and grantee responsibilities. Workshop participants will also learn about upcoming changes to South Arts’ grants program and funding priorities. You will also be the first to hear about new initiatives and opportunities! Faculty: Nikki Estes

Strange and Wonderful Bedfellows: An Arts and CVB Partnership Splash 14 How do you set yourself apart amidst all of the other noise-makers hustling for the same audience? Whether your direct competitors are local, regional, or national, carving out an identity and edge that is uniquely yours, and then branding it hard for all the world to see (and embrace as fact) is the next best thing to wonderful. The icing on the cake: figuring out ways to use other people’s money to help make it all come together. In Miami, tourism, the county’s number one industry, and the arts have formed a dynamic duo to make Greater Miami more than just a “sun-and-fun” destination. Miami is a 24/7, culturally un-bounded, unparalleled in its diversity, international center of cultural excellence (but you already knew that – see how effective its branding efforts have been!). Join two of the most dynamic speakers at the PAE for a fast-paced discussion of how to work together to build audiences among visitors to your area. Faculty: Deborah Margol, George Neary

Presenting 101: The Fundamentals of Marketing and Promotion – Developing and Engaging Audiences Splash 9 What does it take to bring audiences to see the artists you’re presenting? This workshop - the last in the threepart series offered each day of the PAE - will cover the essential elements of audience engagement, marketing and promotion. Through Presenting 101, you’ll learn what you need to know in key areas of presenting and take away tools and resources to continue your professional development after PAE. Presenting 101 is delivered over three morning sessions and is designed as a comprehensive curriculum, so attending all three sessions is highly recommended. Faculty: Perry Mixter, Ashley Dinges, Kevin Spencer

Audiences on the Go: Mobile Engagement Splash 10 By 2014, more people in the United States will be accessing Internet content through mobile devices than through laptops and desktops combined. Right now Americans are spending an average of 94 minutes per day using mobile apps compared to an average of 72 minutes per day using web browsers. Many of us believe that we don’t have the money to engage with mobile audiences. Not true! You can engage mobile audiences even if you have NO budget. This session will explore a variety of options for connecting with audiences via mobile devices – from QR codes to mobile apps and everything in-between. For each option, we will highlight engaging features, discuss costs, and determine the time involved for implementation and maintenance. Faculty: David Dombrosky

Go Where the Money Is: Fundraising from Individuals Splash 11 The extent of fundraising at many organizations is writing grants and praying for a positive response. But the real source of philanthropic dollars lies with individual donors. The beaches of Miami will tempt you on a Saturday morning, but this session will be worth it. We will explore some of the general tenets of fundraising with individuals, fundraising ideas that are effective and fun, principles of donor relations, and the basics of creating a development plan. Faculty: Glenn Kaufhold

Connecting with Generation Z: Cultivating & Educating the Arts Audiences of the Future Splash 12 Culture Shock in Miami is not what it used to be! The typical, reliable audiences for arts and cultural events are aging, and over time, they will inevitably be less reliable, mortality being what it is. Our challenge is to begin replenishing these event-goers by reaching younger audiences now. By offering $5 tickets to high-quality arts events to high school and college students, Culture Shock is cultivating an appetite for the arts among teenagers and young adults in Miami. Live arts experiences, when made affordable and readily available, change the entertainment mix for younger audiences, just at the moment that they have both the latitude and the wherewithal to direct some (if not all) of their own spending. Join the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs staff, a noted local presenter, and one of the Culture Shock audience members for a discussion on nurturing and educating the next generation of arts audiences. Faculty: Eric Fliss, Jori Opara, Christina Tassy-Beauvoir

The session will cover a variety of topics including using promotional tools effectively, learning how to cultivate relationships with prospective presenters and the benefits of building strategic partnerships, as well as what happens after an artist is booked, with a discussion on the responsibilities of the artist and presenter.

Limón Dance Company “Come With Me” choreographed by Rodrigo Pederneiras from the music score “Ladies in White” by Paquito D’Rivera. “I was very thrilled with this commission for the José Limón company, so my first inspiration were the legendary Cuban “Ladies in White” recipients of the prestigious Sakjarov human rights award. I thought that the image of those valiant women all dressed in white walking silently the streets of my homeland with gladiolas in their hands was very moving impressive and musically inspiring. Later I added three more independent movements Bombardino, - which is a Cuban Danzon - Dreams and Freedom Dance, that ends in a frantic and obsessive sort of African rhythm.” – Paquito D’Rivera Stay and join South Arts for a brief post-showcase discussion with the Limón Dance Company and Ivan Sygoda as we explore ways to look at dance.
