The Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) held its grand opening in New York last fall, attracting a crowd of more than 600 dignitaries and prestigious guests. As an inaugural sponsor, East West Bank helped cap a 20-year vision to rebuild the World Trade Center (WTC) complex and establish Lower Manhattan as a cultural destination. The Perelman Performing Arts Center is the cultural cornerstone and final public element of the WTC site, delivering a unique venue for theater, dance, music, chamber opera, film and media. The Bank’s support of this inspiring effort reiterates our commitment to building new foundations and hopeful beginnings.

With a frightening lack of focus on the importance of an arts education the consequences will hit us for decades. Government policy needs to move swiftly and distinctly to support creative education in schools, colleges and Universities as a matter of urgency. This is not just about having ‘stories’ to tell. It is about nurturing and recognising the importance of these creative skills in business and corporate environments too. We need smart people in positions of authority and power - in all organisations. Time for change.
"In 10 years’ time we’re going to turn around and say ‘where are all the artists, where are all the stories, where are all the good ideas?’" David Byrne, artistic director of the Royal Court Theatre, has called for a “rescue package” to keep young people in the arts. https://lnkd.in/dwfxgrth

Forget local authority, government or agency funding. These are either unavailable or not sustainable and can kill creativity when working within their specific guidelines. Instead, research what the local demographic want or need and provide it. Think of ways that you can entice an audience or participation within different localities and cultures. Be brave, do it alone or with like minded colleagues. Involve yourself in local festivals, fetes, fairs or the like. Hire local halls or theatres. Involve youth clubs and/or schools. Show people what you offer and educate about the impact of the arts on wellbeing and social inclusion.

Good to hear Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart discussing Streetwise Opera's recently posed question on The Rest is Politics. Streetwise Opera is an opera company that enables people who’ve experienced homelessness to find inspiration and empowerment while they rebuild their lives and identities- https://lnkd.in/encz7QEs Well done to all those highlighting the evidence for the power of creativity, and backing up the cross-governmental recommendations of the #CreativeHealthReview. Published by the NCCH and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing (APPG AHW), the Creative Health Review offers a set of recommendations on how policy can embrace creative health and sets out the development of a cross-departmental strategy. The Review has gathered evidence that shows the benefits of creative health in relation to major current challenges, and examples of where this is already working in practice.

Springboard Opera, the coolest arts startup on the Brisbane scene, is ready to meet the world… An arts lunch at The Brisbane Club, Brisbane’s premier Business and Arts Club was our first foray into the world. At the Brisbane Club, the intersection of Arts and Business in the Rivercity. And as we all know, Brisvegas … the exploding arts heartland in Oz! It was really appropriate that the Brisbane Club was the venue. The guiding words for Springboard are Supporting emerging artists & Transforming the Opera Idea. Transforming the Opera Idea is about re-invention, innovation and all those other really cool C21 words that we talk about so much. And for Springboard, that means transforming the back end of the arts as much as the front end. And why would we try any other way? If we are serious about sustainability (which we are…) and credibility with all our stakeholders (ditto…), and properly supporting our amazing emerging Queensland Artists, well, the transformation needs to go right across the organisation. Or, in the case of Springboard, we have set ourselves up in the way we intend to continue. From the book-keeping to front-of-house, from the board to the volunteers at the workface, we are going to do it differently. There is not enough space here to tell the whole story. If you want to see us in action or get involved with something big, check out our events page. This is Springboard Opera … if you’re up for a 21st century adventure, up for creating something new, exciting and paradigm-busting to support young people, jump over to our website https://lnkd.in/gXgNVTGg, and get involved. Singing optional. Leslie Martin Luisa Tarnawski Gheorja Haidley #Future #TransformationalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Directors #Technology #Performingarts #YourNetworkForLife

Friday Arts … Something other than today’s headlines about former US Prez’s… Point of Difference. What is it that separates Springboard Opera from a hundred other small arts organisations? And why would anyone pay attention to this little band of Arts Adventurers from Brisbane? What is The Springboard Thing? (Apart from the fact that Brisbane is WHERE IT IS AT in the Oz Arts Scene…) The answer is this… We are doing The Arts differently. Having no baggage to carry, we start with a clean slate. And picking up the best of everything that we see. If we can use it to get us to our goals, it is fair game. We do not say that the artists are at the centre of everything, or that the business model is at the centre of everything, or that funders are our key focus. For us everything is connected and so… Everything is at the centre of Everything. Very Quantum Multiverse and Dr Who – we’ll accept that – but it does open up a universe of possibilities for Springboard. To Transform the Opera Idea, probably in ways that no-one has imagined yet. And that is the Springboard Point of Difference. The dusty old paradigm that is Opera needs to be busted wide open and re-built. From Back to Front and Top to Bottom. And in the process, create a sustainable and viable path for emerging Queensland Opera Artists. Who have that Springboard Thing going on… This is Springboard Opera. If The Springboard Thing grabs your interest, come and see it in action! We are going public on 29 June in the heart of Brisbane with a fabulous and stylish Opera Gala. Get all the details here -->> https://lnkd.in/getQSPPu But being The Springboard Thing, it would be best to park your prior expectations outside… #Future #TransformationalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Directors #Technology #Performingarts #YourNetworkForLife

Eurydice Fragments: Auditions Open Call Be part of a contemporary performance that fuses opera with modern technology. Through an immersive exploration of our digital and carbon existences, the performance dissolves the binaries we are bound to from birth until death, and strums the threads between heaven and hell, male and female, maker and muse, performer and audience.

How can arts leaders move beyond incremental change to truly transformative change? By studying the history of the indoor toilet, says David Maggs. "[In] the early 19th century [the promoters of indoor plumbing systems] encountered a surprising problem. People were reluctant to use them. The mere thought of going to the bathroom indoors made people extremely uncomfortable. This, of course, is unimaginable to us now, as the thought of going to the bathroom outdoors makes us extremely uncomfortable...The thought of bringing that smelly mess inside would have seemed like a ridiculous suggestion — which is why the topic is so relevant to our broader curiosity around transformative change. They could not imagine doing it, and we cannot imagine not doing it. That is transformative change. Before it happens, we cannot conceive of it; after it happens, we can’t conceive of its absence. That is change at the level of being."
