Looks like if you have an Android powered phone (a “google phone”) you are wanted to test out a new application for recording and annotating rehearsals. It looks like it’s an audio/video recorder with a way to take notations all built into a touch-screen interface. Could be cool. On the other hand, is recording video and notes onto a phone any easier and less disruptive to the rehearsal process than using a video camera and note book? Test it and find out.

Remember the Arts in Crisis program? One step of the program is to offer free online discussions with the experienced mentors from the Kennedy Center. Friday’s online chat will be the first. You can RSVP here.

The first mailing from the rehearsal process came out today. You can subscribe at the bottom of the page.

The “18/29 club” is the latest attempt at a ‘young patron’s group’. $30 tickets to ABT. Every ballet company has been asking themselves for years now how to get younger audiences into their performances. Is it the price that keeps them away? Not understanding the art form? Lack of other young people at performances?

18/29 seems based on the ideas that 18-29 year olds just need a price break. There aren’t any club functions like post show talks, free drinks or anything else to go along with the reduced rate. Maybe a price break is all we need. Maybe all of those other functions and benefits aren’t attractive to us but I think that it will take more than a $30 ticket to engage and retain new audiences. But it’s a step in the right direction.

Straight from the source.
