NEWSHow do YOU connect with CounterPULSE?Dear Friends, We’re beginning our fourth year in our new home on Mission Street, and you may start to see some changes here at CounterPULSE. For one thing, you may have noticed a new sentence in our mission statement that describes our role as a “forum for the open exchange of art and ideas.” Right now, we’re thinking about ways that we can invite you to more fully participate in this exchange. For me, CounterPULSE has always been about connection—between art and ideas, between ideas and action, and most of all between artists and the community. Starting soon, you’ll be finding even more ways to connect with CounterPULSE: Before the event…Beginning this summer, our Artists in Residence will be posting an artists’ journal at www.counterpulse.org. Even before you come to the show, you can use our website to explore the artistic process, and begin to engage with the ideas surrounding the work. Soon, we’ll be offering online previews of our events where you can catch catch the work in rehearsal and behind-the-scenes interviews with the artists. At the event…From expanded post-show discussions to informal receptions, we’ll be giving you plenty of reasons to stay after the show and talk. You’ll also want to keep your eye out for a new section appearing in your program that will help you connect with local activists and community groups so that you can act on what you learn here at CounterPULSE. After the event…Each event at CounterPULSE will soon be represented on our blog where you can go to share your thoughts, opinions and questions about what you saw and heard. When you return home from a performance or discussion, you can continue the conversation online, sharing new ideas as they evolve. In an era of declining print media, we see the web as a vital tool for generating peer reviews, and we invite you to serve as a “community critic” by commenting on your experiences here. All the time… Over the next several years, we’ll be building an online video archive of events at CounterPULSE, because we believe that what happens here can be an inspiration to viewers all over the world. We hope you’ll join us in person and online as we expand the conversation and create new connections. Sincerely, |
