Conferences i'm catching up on... this time
System Innovation Initiative
Making The System Shift Learning Festival
https://www.systeminnovation.org/learning-festival-2022-ressourcesgood quotes from it “the best thing we can do is to share the power and control that we have, in a way that empowers people or enables people in place to design what the future looks like… [it’s] localised, strength based, and Indigenous led, building on what works for people.” – Angie Tangaere |
“All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at any given time is a function of power, and not necessarily truth.” – Beth Smith I'm at home missing a Force of Nature Climate Cafe at Dark Pony Coffee and I missed the first Peoples Assembly at Falmouth & Exeter University campus - 81 people! However have finished my hand ins for Citizen Journalism and made some progress with background needs of next performances and enjoyed a really nice time at Shallal 2 with the second half full of nibbles and mulled drinks and even a visit from Santa - thank you Shane! So... Shallal continues it's mission, enabling and promoting Access & Equity in the wonderful meeting ground of creativity...
and we are processing the conversations/podcasts with friends and learning how to best go forwards in such critical times that we can't ignore... Culture and Creativity are an important voice in Innovation and Communication Eden Projects latest advert of 'Climate Positive' sounds good so maybe need to talk to them? i still the need to hear more solutions, but the system is broken? is it too broken for many solutions to be implemented and to be accepted? if they don't create enough profit? how do we positive systems change? "Caroline Mason from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation remarked: “Something has to flip. We have to shift deep cultural norms within the financial system.” - Making The System Shift Learning Festival Just listened to research reports relating to Climate Justice and young people and Audiences and at Culture Declares Emergency's ENERGY FOR CHANGE "What do audiences want cultural organisations to do around the Earth crisis? ... speakers shared the latest research and examples of practice as we open up discussion on how we can join up actions for sustainability with work for climate and social justice." Impressed by Exeter and Falmouth university students involved in... Rehearsal notes At present in our rehearsals research, we are using some established protest songs? gathering our perspectives, workshopping to incorporate new performers, waiting, trusting the process ( but not myself ) new work is coming in to support our many voices... I'm struggling with how to find the right pitch and voice, it's getting clearer but slowly and our first show /event could be 4th March so we have to speed up and pull it together, but no too tight, in the new year. Framing narrative? Open improv performance style, and ? at present i'm looking at tryptch style pieces/themes that can be moved around, rearranged for large shows, pop ups, small events Satelite stories seems to fit the lifebelt/doughnut economics model for looking at such epic stories and ecosystems, all entwined Started this to look at threads and themes last night and ask questions and looked at it again this morning and now heading to prepare the day and drive to Newlyn for Shallal Dance Theatre then St Austell for pilot group - really hoping that the fund we wanted to apply to to extend our pilot groups hasn't closed early :( Getting older and tired of chasing funding, although now we have such a good team in place, so usually my writing efforts aren't needed unless a project that is small and close to my heart which extending the pilot project is and Arts Lab which we have just applied to second round for. Always cheer up when in the room of the wonderful creativity and community of Shallal Dance Theatre, so I look forward to that and the sun is just rising. accompanied as always by bird song. |
