Have you wondered what it would be like to make a dream come true? My guest this week on Tales from The Lane has done just that–twice over! Violinist Jessica Stinson is a brilliant and passionate Atlanta-based violinist who loves her roles with the Atlanta Opera, Ballet, and Symphony, but she had 2 other dreams that seemed to be eluding her. 1. To be part of a string quartet with a strong mission to highlight the works of marginalized composers. 2. To work with and inspire the next generation of musicians at the University level (and teach them that there are SO many ways to be a musician these days) Well, spoiler alert: She crushed the first one by co-founding the Mosaic Quartet Atlanta with her friends and colleagues. THEN, the leadership (and musicianship) she exhibited in doing that made her a most compelling candidate for her new University post at Georgia State. I talk a lot about how the launch of an artistic project by an independent artist will lead to greater visibility, more confidence, and a whole slew of interesting doors suddenly opening up for you. Listen to Episode 11 to hear just HOW Jessica put her project together (all while balancing a full performance and teaching career AND caring for her young son). And if you're ready to start putting your artistic project together so that YOU can start attracting more visibility, confidence, and opportunities.

A message for Champions I recently had the opportunity to catch a symphonic interpretation of music by the late Freddie Mercury and the band Queen. The concert, held at Tirana’s National Theater of Opera and Ballet was a collaboration between Albanian and Italian talents. The #TKOB is one of the city’s jewels. The conductor, orchestra, vocals, and lead vocalist were fired-up and did justice to the band’s music— ensuring an uplifting experience! I thought the timeless hit, “We are the champions” was a particularly rousing and much needed affirmation to stay on the good foot. I’ve long believed that #consciouscontentcreators are supersheroes/heroes of the world. Now, as ever, with all that is going on in the world, around the world and to the world, it is imperative that our voices come to the fore to be warriors for accurate narratives and representations. It’s a challenge the whole human-race must take-on, but we must be #consciousleaders who stand strong and use our #knowledge, #skills and #talents to combat #misinformation and #disinformation. We must keep the “inform” in information and teach others how to do the same. It won’t always be a bed of roses (I know I’ve felt some thorns), or a pleasure cruise (I’ve been tripped-up too), but we must go on fighting my friends. We can’t make time for losers. We are the champions! #ConsciousMediaLiteracy #ContentLiteracy #ConsciousMediaConsumers #ConsciousLeadership #ThursdayThought #StirSomeLit #NotArtificialIntelligence #EverythingIsContent #MediaLiteracy #Champions #Consider #Elevate #Discern #SupporttheArts

Beijing Opera (京剧) is a traditional Chinese theatre art form that combines music, vocal performance, mime, dance, and acrobatics. It originated in the late 18th century and became fully developed and recognized during the mid-19th century under the Qing Dynasty.   Elaborate and colorful costumes distinguish different characters and social statuses. Intricate face painting uses specific patterns and colors to represent different traits and emotions of the characters. Many stories are drawn from Chinese history, folklore, and classical literature, often involving tales of loyalty, bravery, love, and morality. #BeijingOpera, #PekingOpera, #Chineseculture

In the performing arts sector, we excel at drawing new audiences to our venues to revel in our captivating performances and exhibitions. However, as you may see within your own org, there is a serious gap when it comes to these patrons returning. It’s easy to label these guests as 'churned,' 'attrited,' or 'lapsed' because to us, it feels like there's been a break in our relationship with them if they miss a season. But what if post-pandemic behavior patterns have shifted? What if it naturally takes longer for people to come back for their second or third visit? What if they still think they are engaged, and of your venue as their theatre, orchestra, ballet, opera, etc.? Our latest research at TRG Arts reveals that first-timers might take as long as 18 to 24 months to return. During this period, they still consider themselves actively connected to your community. Join us for a Deeper Dive on July 25th, where Eric Nelson (featured in this video) alongside Kate Hagen, will delve into the Rhythm of Repeat Attendance. Eric and Kate will share insights on how your messages and marketing can resonate deeply with these patrons, nurturing a bond that embraces their sense of connection. Don't miss this opportunity to transform how you engage with your audience and foster enduring patron loyalty. Let’s learn to love our lapsed together! 🔗 https://hubs.li/Q02GLpbv0

It's important to give compliments to dancers in a way that uplifts them, without comparing them to idols. Lee Jung Lee, a renowned Korean dance choreographer, emphasizes the importance of acknowledging dancers' skills in a more personalized way. Lee Jung Lee's choreography for popular Kpop groups like BlackPink and Twice showcases dancers in a confident and powerful manner, making striking visuals a crucial aspect of music performances. In fact, fans often dance along with Kpop choreography as a way to show support for their favorite groups. By exploring other industries' approaches to achieving success through striking visuals, we can gain new perspectives and apply concepts to our personal and professional goals. Let's rethink the system and learn from other top talent to gain a new outlook on things. #insights #personaldevelopment #proactiveplanning #businessanalytics #perspective #learningeveryday #gainingtogether #rethinkthesystem

On Saturday I took my daughter to see Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House. Shes wanted to go for over a year. She has been to many west end shows no problem. She watches swan lake on youtube every week. She has dance classes 5 days a week. She asks for the swan lake story every night. For a 5 yr old this is some serious prep and dedication. She was extremely, extremely excited. She lasted till the interval. It was quite the disaster, I think everyone in our box hated us 😡. It was too long, too hot, too loud, too quiet, not enough (any) talking… my poor little girl was,thirsty, itchy, frustrated and generally overwhelmed. To be fair to her she held it together till the curtain came down, but once we stepped outside she lost it. Her birthday treat was turning into a birthday disaster! I had to call it and take the extremely upset ballet nut out of there (never to return till she is at least 8!) Here’s the moral of the story. Sometimes, regardless of the amount of preparation, things don’t go as planned, they bomb, they crash and burn, the shit hits the proverbial fan. In those times, the best course of action is to stop🛑, take stock, dry your tears, and come up with a different course of action. Don’t try to repeat the madness. Go get icecream instead. Picture taken before the crying began. __________________________________ Hi 👋 I'm Michelle, I write about things I know about: Marketing, Leadership, Strategy, Coaching and Board Advisory.  Never want to miss an update?
