That's true, many North American Performing Arts organizations and companies are years ahead of most of the European organizations in reflecting the aspects Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). They address racial injustice, gender disparity, and ableism, as well as discrimination and power abuse more serious and with more financial power. We should take this as an example in order to quickly catch up on these aspects and not always be years behind, as with #metoo a.o.
Opera America are doing brilliant work reflecting on Racial Justice within the industry both within the US and further afield. They will be hosting another two day forum this coming March. Really looking forward to being part of it and joining one of my all time favourites (Quo Johnson) in conversation on March 7th at 1:15pm.

How often do we walk the road to Damascus How often have we experienced an epiphany along our journey. Are we capable of understanding such sudden and great revelations. How often have we just thought it was a figment of our imagination. How sometimes we think we have every answer, so wrong. How our paradigm prevents risk to discover more. How determined are we to search the truth, or merely follow vanity thinking we know best. Whether we enjoy the circus or opera, life of acceptance is still the same. Accept that there are different formula's and equations. If the gift of suggestion is offered then you need to discover its source. Consider all options. GWW.

Forget local authority, government or agency funding. These are either unavailable or not sustainable and can kill creativity when working within their specific guidelines. Instead, research what the local demographic want or need and provide it. Think of ways that you can entice an audience or participation within different localities and cultures. Be brave, do it alone or with like minded colleagues. Involve yourself in local festivals, fetes, fairs or the like. Hire local halls or theatres. Involve youth clubs and/or schools. Show people what you offer and educate about the impact of the arts on wellbeing and social inclusion.
"In 10 years’ time we’re going to turn around and say ‘where are all the artists, where are all the stories, where are all the good ideas?’" David Byrne, artistic director of the Royal Court Theatre, has called for a “rescue package” to keep young people in the arts. https://lnkd.in/dwfxgrth

With a frightening lack of focus on the importance of an arts education the consequences will hit us for decades. Government policy needs to move swiftly and distinctly to support creative education in schools, colleges and Universities as a matter of urgency. This is not just about having ‘stories’ to tell. It is about nurturing and recognising the importance of these creative skills in business and corporate environments too. We need smart people in positions of authority and power - in all organisations. Time for change.

A snippet of the collaborative A.I. opera piece, "Song of the Ambassadors" (SoTA), that I composed at the opening ceremony for TED Conferences last year with text by K Allado-McDowell and multimedia by Refik Anadol. This piece explores our ever-changing relationship with A.I., merging traditional art and artificial intelligence. A pretty unique experience! Watch the full experience here: https://lnkd.in/getnrMsR

Sales Training, Mentoring, & Leadership | Sales Centre of Excellence | Empowering Sales Teams to Deliver Differentiating Value
Have you ever experienced a Chinese opera? Recently, Sarah and I stumbled upon an ancient Wind God festival at Tainan, Taiwan. It was Sarah’s first time attending, and we decided to immerse ourselves in this unique celebration. Chinese operas are captivating performances that blend dance, song, and martial arts. They often narrate popular stories, drawing the audience into a world of tradition and artistry. Interestingly, storytelling plays a crucial role in sales as well. When presenting solutions to clients, how you convey your message matters. Crafting a narrative that resonates with their struggles and demonstrates how your solutions can address their needs builds trust and understanding.

How can arts leaders move beyond incremental change to truly transformative change? By studying the history of the indoor toilet, says David Maggs. "[In] the early 19th century [the promoters of indoor plumbing systems] encountered a surprising problem. People were reluctant to use them. The mere thought of going to the bathroom indoors made people extremely uncomfortable. This, of course, is unimaginable to us now, as the thought of going to the bathroom outdoors makes us extremely uncomfortable...The thought of bringing that smelly mess inside would have seemed like a ridiculous suggestion — which is why the topic is so relevant to our broader curiosity around transformative change. They could not imagine doing it, and we cannot imagine not doing it. That is transformative change. Before it happens, we cannot conceive of it; after it happens, we can’t conceive of its absence. That is change at the level of being."
