The judgment from this case is well worth reviewing in full for anyone with an interest in belief discrimination cases, but at 77 pages, if you want a streamlined summary of the key points to keep you going, then do please have a look at my article on the Cloisters website.
Judgment was handed down today (6 March 2024) in the EAT case of Seyi Omooba v (1) Michael Garrett Associates Ltd (t/a Global Artists) and (2) Leicester Theatre Trust Ltd. Chris Milsom and Tom Coghlin of Cloisters successfully resisted all grounds of appeal on behalf of the First and Second Respondents respectively. The case provides welcome guidance for distinguishing cases where treatment is because of a belief / its objectionable manifestation and cases where there is a truly separable reason. The case also considers the potential for “automatic” harassment findings following breaches of the ECHR, costs awards taking into account the means of third parties, and the use of documents once a hearing has ended. Current Cloisters pupil Adam Pincott has summarised the key points from a lengthy and important judgment.: https://lnkd.in/dK4FuMBq

Christmas Arts! Halfway through the Ring Cycle and still going strong. Round 3 is tonight. For those who do not know, the Ring Cycle is an epic story in 4 parts, which includes - amongst other things – - A Magic ring, forged in the distant past. - Dragons (lots of …) - A shattered sword - Gods and Men in conflict - Forbidden love - A story written before any of us were born. A strong resemblance to Lord of the Rings, I think. OR Star Wars. And people will sit through six ridiculously long LoR movies … or nine Star Wars movies. But then it comes out that The Ring Cycle is opera, and so many people run away, because they believe that Opera is in some way not for them. Even though the music is WAAY better. Human Beans are funny like that. My personal reservation with The Ring Cycle was the length, but it has been really enjoyable, and easy to follow, so I am going back for Round 3. This production is so contemporary – lots of digital effects and amazing lighting – it kind of feels loke a sci-fi movie, but live. And, if you need to find a meaning, the story is relevant to what is happening in our 2023 world. Because the arts in all its forms completes our world, makes it a better place, and stretches minds. So – if you have never done contemporary opera - the next time you get an opportunity, give it a go, take a chance - it is worth definitely worth the effort… #Future #TransformationalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Directors #Technology #Performingarts #YourNetworkForLife

If you are in Connecticut, please come experience the incredible work of this wonderful cast and creative team in our “reappropriated” version of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s SOUTH PACIFIC at Goodspeed Opera. Performances through August 11. “Between the disposables and the treasurables lies a range of works, middling to excellent, that can still be powerful despite certain problems. Often the problems arise from ways of looking at race and gender that, however progressive in their day, do not meet contemporary expectations. Who, if anyone, has the right perspective to address such works most authentically? A good answer might start with artists who represent the group that’s objectionably depicted (or gratuitously ignored) in the show itself. And though I’m not a proponent of narrow identity matching, which can shrink a capacious story to a hall of mirrors with just one person inside, I’ve seen several examples recently in which the story is instead expanded. This happens when directors and performers from the communities in question thoughtfully reappropriate material that was once appropriated from them. The “South Pacific” now playing (through Aug. 11) at Goodspeed Musicals in East Haddam, Conn., goes even further, casting a Black actor, Cameron Loyal, as Cable. Everything lands differently without changing a line. The reaction of the white Seabees to the Black officer, no less than his to them, lights up the entire racial structure of the show. Cable’s connection to and abandonment of Liat elevate and enlarge that story. As the Rodgers and Hammerstein catalog makes plain — see also “The King and I” and “Flower Drum Song” — appropriation was a goal, not a sin, in those postwar years, when finding commonalities among peoples seemed paramount. Even now, I’d argue, appropriation can be a good thing, when done with sensitivity to honor rather than commodify diverse cultural expressions.” - NYTimes

You wanna #protest, good. But don't be a moron and ruin an #opera performance for thousands of people. https://lnkd.in/evHXVrpQ I am sick of idiots who think it is a good idea to attack art with destructive displays, just to get attention. This tactic has zero impact on a very serious issue, undermines effective advocacy, and is all about self-promotion. If you want to make an impact, kindly protest where it might actually do some good, like Congress, your local elected representative's office, or at a shareholders meeting. Leave art alone. #climatechange
