Jan 21 – 24, 2016 – Partners in Creation
This year, we want to use our creativity to answer some hard questions:
- What is the purpose of our talent and does it have a place in our community?
- How do we innovate within a worldview of tradition?
- Are modesty or the ego compromised in the performing arts?
- How can we succeed in balancing life/kids, making an income, and making art?
- How can we address the challenge of finding or developing morally adequate material to perform?
- Will the community ever embrace our work?!
- As artists, we have been given GIFTS from Hashem. HOW WELL ARE WE USING THEM?
Our workshops and events this year will focus on
- SONGWRITERS: Meeting and discussing challenges, tips and tricks
- THEATER/FILM: The development of original material
- DANCE: New forms and styles! Composition and collaboration with other art forms
- CLASSICAL MUSIC: Discussing challenges and new directions
- SELF-PRODUCERS: Tips and Tricks for making money from your art
