With funding from the Knight Foundation, YBCA is working with the mayor's Office for Innovation and the City Planning Department to solicit ideas and input about what would improve and revitalize Market Street - not only as a whole, but with respect to its various mini "communities": the Embarcadero, Financial District, Mid-Market, Civic Center, Upper Market. The focus will be on "what would improve street life, what would activate and bring people together?"

That goal would sound terminally wonky were it not for the fact that the ideas will be coming from artists and designers.

Is it art? Is it community? For Cullinan, it's both. "We see community involvement," she says, "as a curatorial department."

"How to hold on to theatregoers with young children? Offer them sitters along with their seats."

Last show of the year for STUDIO 105 PRESENTS. So proud to have produced this inaugural little cabaret series at Sunset! Bittersweet to say goodbye, but if you have to, might as well do it sold out with encores, right? Sorry, I gotta brag. Check out Steve Lucky & The Rhumba Bums feat. Miss Carmen Getit at: http://www.luckylounge.com/

Diversity isn't programming a play or two, it extends into our entire organizational structures...this is what Baraka Sele is talking about guys (see the post below).

All the people, All the time

"Diversity isn’t just access, it is all the people, all the time.

…

Diversify your programming. If your programming is diverse, diversify your staff. If your staff is diverse, diversify your board. If your board is diverse, diversify your organizational relationships. If your organizational relationships are diverse, diversify your your cross sector relationships. If your cross sector relationships are diverse, share. Share information. Share examples. Share power.

…

I think we worry too much about the younger generation. We have to let go. And if they want to take over the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and present only hip hop? That’s ok. Did you hear me? THAT’S OK. Because some other young person is going to come along and want to present ballet too.”

- Baraka Sele, Vice President of Programming at New Jersey Performing Arts Center (approximately, from my notes when I heard her speak at the 2013 Cal Presenters Conference in San Jose).

8 ELEMENTS OF TRANSMEDIA

Anita Ondine, creative director of Transmedia Next takes us through what she calls the “8 Elements of Transmedia.” These eight elements can help us identify when a multiplatform story is truly “transmedia,” as well as serving as a useful development methodology when you are developing your own transmedia concepts.

Telling a story

Using a variety of story forms

Across multiple media platforms

Within a unified storyworld

Encourages audience participation

Embedded game mechanics

A social experience

Designed for multiple levels of engagement
