Each day of PRELUDE 09 features symposia with NYC’s leading performance practitioners in candid conversation as they explore and offer perspective on NYC’s complex cultural ecology. Given the greening of performance spaces, micro- and alternative financing, and renewed political engagement, how is performance affected by the culture at large?
3 -4:30pm | Segal Theatre
What does it mean to be an artist and a citizen? How have artists been engaging the state, various legislative bodies and their neighbors up to this point? How do new technologies change the ways in which artists can be citizens, how they can organize, how they can affect change beyond the making of art? Has performance suffered from a continuing display and even celebration of their own provincial solipsism, and is thinking through citizenship a path out of that self-induced position of irrelevance to wider cultural debates?

What does it mean to "produce"? What is the evolution of the collective of terms "commission", "present", "produce", and "co-produce"? What do they actually mean in terms of commitment to the artists both financially and professionally? What are new models in the works right now, that might re-define these terms as well as the relationship between "producer" and "artist"?

Today, there is a big movement to "go green", but many artists in this sector have been reusing, recycling and reducing for years out of, among other things, financial necessity. How have artists been harvesting "pre-owned" materials to create their work? How are cultural facilities changing the way our light, sound, video systems consume energy? How can we be even more evangelical about going green, not simply to save dollars, but also to save the planet? What are the hurdles and what are the resources out there to help us be more green?
