Performing Arts Exchange Convening
An evening of Dialogue. Community. Performance
Alternate ROOTS will be participating in South Arts’ Performing Arts Exchange taking place in Atlanta, GA, September 29-October 2, 2014. Alternate ROOTS will be represented in a number of ways during the conference, including hosting an exhibition booth and staff and members serving as panelists for official conference sessions.
What
In addition ROOTS will be hosting our own evening of programming dedicated to our members. This evening is NOT a showcase event, but an evening that will include curated conversation with ROOTS artists, performances from members, food and an opportunity for presenters and artists to network. The convening will be seen as part of the PAE, but also will take place outside the traditional confines of the conference.
Why
The goal of the convening is for Alternate ROOTS to have a presence at the Performing Arts Exchange. We want to go beyond just showing our artists work without placing it into context. Over the years, we have learned that ROOTS artists and their work do not neatly fit into the traditional spaces offered at PAE, so we are offering a nontraditional space to our members. We want to strengthen the understanding that presenters and artists who attend the conference have of who Alternate ROOTS is and what our artists provide.
