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.

Friday Arts! It is so cool living in Brisbane … the erupting epicentre of the arts in this country! There is so much going on in this town (and this state) in the arts. Our own #QueenslandTheatre is amazing, as are the other majors in town … #Circa, #QueenslandBallet, #OperaQueensland, and #QSO. The Festivals are pretty fabulous also, and the biggest Arts Festival of all - the Cultural Olympiad - is on its way also. But if you look a little deeper, there are also rumblings outside the play space of the majors. The new kid on the block is Springboard Opera, and I am the chair of the board. With my fellow other directors Leslie Martin, Luisa Tarnawski, Gheorja Haidley and Scott Mullane, I am putting together a purpose-built Opera Company here in BrisVegas. Our words are: Supporting Emerging Artists Transforming the Opera Idea We’ve had one public outing, and the INAUGURAL Springboard Opera auditions are happening soon – check out our website if you happen to be an emerging Opera Artist. Or even if you aren’t. Being purpose-built and brand new, our point-of-difference is that we have no history. So the answer “this is the way that it is done” is really of no interest to us. We are going to push the envelope, finding new audiences, supporting young Queensland, and deliver opera in ways that you have not seen before. But what is also different is the stuff that the public does not see. The corporate culture, the way that we run ourselves, the people we have. A truly innovative and C21 arts organisation is not just about the performances. It is about everything that we do and every thought that we have. And that is why you need to watch this space, or even jump on over to our website at https://lnkd.in/gS53GYEN and become a supporter! #Future #TransformationalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Directors #Technology #Performingarts #YourNetworkForLife

Moral Compass Federation is proud to partner with Scott Mann, The Heroes Journey and LAST OUT: Elegy of a Green Beret About The Heroes Journey: The Heroes Journey is a transformative initiative dedicated to empowering veterans during their transition from military service to civilian life. Their mission is clear: "Find Your Voice. Tell Your Story."

Workshops & Storytelling Courses: The Heroes Journey offers workshops and storytelling courses to veterans, equipping them with essential skills. These programs not only aid veterans in healing from combat trauma but also empower them to engage with their communities once more. Fostering Healing, Understanding, and Unity: By encouraging veterans to share their experiences, wisdom, and affection for their Afghan allies, The Heroes Journey fosters healing, understanding, and unity. A Call to Action: Our partnership is a rallying cry for all of us to support our warriors and their families, reminding them that they are not alone on their journey to a brighter future. We are honored to stand alongside The Heroes Journey and Scott Mann as they pursue their mission to make a difference in the lives of our veterans. Together, we will make a meaningful impact and empower those who have served our country. Stay tuned for updates on how you can become part of this impactful journey! 🇺🇸 #HeroesJourney #VeteransSupport #Empowerment #Partnership

Dance is Design, too. I started to dance better thanks to Design System Thinking and Motion Design principles. Further, there is a field called Stage Design. Look at it with a conceptual eye, and you'll see the work at play. #Dance #Art #Technology #Shadow #Light #Highlight #Reflection #Collective #Growth #InnovationCulture

When we as musical artists and performing arts organizations consider our target audiences, it is critical that we clearly understand the value of our product. A key component of our value proposition, as Yo-Yo Ma, the neurologist and author Oliver Sacks and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy have articulated, is connection: connection to something larger than ourselves, to profound emotions, to each other, and as Jeremy Eichler posits in his acclaimed new book, Times Echo, connection to events, people and places in history. Music creates connection within and between us in a way that few other art forms can. Developing best practices and competencies in order to create and enhance connection is key to attracting, engaging and retaining the audiences we wish to have.

The performing arts have a unique ability to transcend cultural barriers, fostering a sense of unity and understanding among diverse communities. Whether it's through dance, music, or theater, these creative forms of expression bring people together, bridging gaps and cultivating shared experiences. In this piece, we explore how performing arts enrich and unite communities, creating a tapestry of harmony and collective growth. 😇 #ConnectToGrow growzilla.co #growzilla #community #communitybuilding #communitymanagement #communitydevelopment #communitygrowth #communityfirst #communitystrategy
