SUMMARY:Overheard On A Train
DESCRIPTION:So let’s say you’re on public transit\, eavesdropping on a group’s conversation. (No shame—we do it\, too.) \nYou ever wonder what it would be like to live that life? To dip into their daily drama? Now’s your chance! \nJoin us for Overheard on a Train\, and see what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. \nExcept\, you’re not walking—because you’re on a train. \nAnd also—it’s longer than a mile. \nAnd also—you wear your own shoes. \nYou can book your ticket here.  \nOverheard on a Train is an interactive experience that takes place on board Austin’s metro-rail. You and three friends will sign up as a group\, and receive a script when you board the train. During the journey\, your foursome will read the script to each other\, out loud. (It’s a “table read\,” and you are the actors!) Your collective story will unfold as you turn each page and deliver each line. Choose which storyline your group likes best\, such as THE BAND\, or THE BACHELORETTE PARTY\, or THE BANK ROBBERS—and we’re now offering THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS\, for kids and families!

SUMMARY:The Big We: A Creative Convening
DESCRIPTION:Austin’s creative community has experienced a perfect storm of reductions or delays in Federal\, State\, and City funding; a lack of performance\, rehearsal\, and studio space; and little civic infrastructure to provide a safety net for artists\, performers\, and arts organizations when hard times fall. More than a few arts spaces and institutions have closed\, some as old as 35 years\, while arts organizations “hunker down” into silos\, to keep producing their work on less while protecting what little they have. \nAfter years of increasingly hard times\, a group of ten Austin arts leaders from all genres began gathering informally to discuss how to manifest a more cohesive community among creatives. They asked\, “How can we work together on a purpose greater than our differences?” “How can we create a meeting space that is expansive enough to encompass divergent opinions but focus on solutions that we create for ourselves?” The Creative Congress was born. \nWith the facilitation and sponsorship of A3 Art Alliance Austin\, (a newly formed Local Arts Agency) they developed a plan to host a city-wide convening of artists\, musicians\, performers and others in the creative community to develop a more cohesive artistic community for the purposes of networking resources\, opportunities\, spaces and expertise; for creating solutions to our creative community’s issues through collaboration; and to gather plans\, collaborative groups and leaders to create a self-defining Community Arts Plan. \nWHO IS INVITED \nALL Austin-area artists\, musicians\, performers of all types\, writers\, electronic media artists\, arts administrators\, curators\, technicians\, board members\, and philanthropists. \nGOAL \nFostering collaboration between different sectors of Austin’s creative community\, the convening will emphasize the importance of purposeful cross-pollination across art forms\, networks\, and cultural arts organizations to chart a self-defined course for our creative community. \n  \nITINERARY \nFriday\, March 27 \n12:00pm THE BIG WE Convening Box Luncheon featuring “flash” keynote speakers from the creative community\, each of whom has done something extraordinary to change the status quo \n1:15pm Training sessions with Shana Merlin on “Open Space Technology” and Karen LaShelle\, Executive Director of Austin Together on “The Art of Collaboration” \n2:30pm Break \n3:00pm Open Space Technology: “Pitch Sessions” \n3:30pm-4:30pm Community Discussions – Session I \n4:30pm-5:30pm Wrap-up Session \n5:30pm Break \n6:00pm Networking Mixer with dinner\, music\, beverages \n8:00pm The Big We video + 3 more “flash” keynote speakers.
