00:44:04 kera mchugh: I think the music-centric platform Sidedoor.com has amazing possibilities for theatre 00:55:28 Holly Bright: Sharon: https://twilightradiotheatre.com/online-shows/ 00:58:47 kera mchugh: we are an arts council, so offer a lot of stuff for free, but we pay our artists properly. and we advocate to our artists to charge for their services. Sure there's work you share to BUILD & GROW your business, but it's super important to moderate what's promotional with what's valuable. 01:01:58 Kim Palmer: Bear in mind that Zoom is wonderful and helpful, but not everyone has the technology or know-how to enjoy it. Also, the musical community can't use Zoom - the time delay is extremely problematic. 01:03:03 Kim Palmer: I share the overwhelmed feeling - thank you for sharing your thoughts, Sharon. 01:03:05 Andrea: Yes, the Zoom time delay is a big challenge 01:03:09 Illana Hester: For our concerts we will be live streaming our Fall season most likely, but opening a Zoom chat before hand for our concert goers to visit - that is why they love the concert series here its a 90 person venue in the oldest postal code in candaa 01:03:15 Sandra Fletcher: I agree, Kim. I’m trying to hold my children’s choir together for Zoom “rehearsals”, but they really struggle with understanding why they can’t sing together! 01:03:28 Illana Hester: I think for music and concerts you have to do a combination 01:04:12 Illana Hester: Hey for theatre people - Im thinking about Physical objects - what if you got a script with a certain amount of things you have to create/put togher/ get mailed before the theatre performance? Then you have to tangibly be with that object at the cue during the theatre time? 01:04:33 dellaburford: That a good idea! 01:04:42 Andrea: That's very cool/creative. 01:04:57 Illana Hester: We are going to co-creating with our audiences now 01:04:59 Illana Hester: I think that’s a big shit 01:05:01 Illana Hester: Shift sorry 01:06:48 kera mchugh: time delay is a factor if trying to get folks from multiple locations to play together for sure... but a band, assembled physically distantly in a yard or on a stage and livestreamed as a whole is doable. There are some other platforms that are figuring out the latency issue - ninjam and jamkazam 01:13:39 Dr. Adam Jonathan Con: there are specific technical parameters with ninjam and jamkazam that if everyone has the same resources it works...otherwise not 01:21:58 Holly Bright: I agree this will totally open the door to remote work possibilities. I have seen some training on managing remotely. It is tricky without ever being in person. 01:25:34 JOSEPHINED: It seems apparent that those individuals and groups that have navigated well so far have been those that already had strong connection with their participants & audiences. That connection is the glue that has held the staff, artists, volunteers and other participants together despite many free alternatives and in making difficult shifts to different platforms. This may be good news of survival for those groups and teachers that have this. We all struggle with audience development at the best of times and this is at the core. If your people want to be with you they will tolerate the difference and stay the course. 01:28:50 Andrea: Absolutely Josephine! Very well said 01:29:29 kera mchugh: 100% Lynda :) 01:31:56 Holly Bright: If not sacred, hopefully appreciated. 01:32:51 Illana Hester: I’d like to point everyone in the direction of this really incredibly digital governance conference that is put on every year in Ottawa, this year it is going to be online. Very few artists and arts orgs participate ( I was the only arts administrator last year) but its is HUGELY informative, especially in today’s digital age 01:32:53 Illana Hester: https://fwd50.com 01:33:26 kera mchugh: oh... nice, thanks Illana! 01:35:46 Illana Hester: I think Canada is also going to have to hustle and get an appointed Digital Minister - the only country in the world right now that has an elected official as a Digital Minister is Tawian, and her role is to provide EVERY CITIZEN OF TAIWAN with high speed internet. Much like other human rights are fulfilled, soon access to the internet is also going to be very fundamental… her name is Audrey Tang if anyone wanted to look into what they are doing, its absolutely incredible, as a society they are hacking their government with the zero gov http://g0v.asia 01:35:57 kera mchugh: thank you for saying that... I've had a couple tough days around "not figuring it out" or "not getting creative enough". <3 Gotta get good with the messy part! 01:37:33 Andrea: That's super interesting Illana! Wow! I didn't know that. You're right... it's a human right now to have internet access 01:43:41 Kaitlyn: https://www.eduarts.ca/resources-for-the-arts-and-learning-sector-during-the-covid-19-pandemic 01:45:31 kera mchugh: thanks, everyone. great to hear all the amazing ideas and deep insights. keep on keepin' on! 01:45:49 Illana Hester: THANKY OU!
