OPPORTUNITY: WOCA (Women of Color in The Arts) - Leadership through Mentorship Program

10/28/2018

0 Comments

 
The Women of Color in the Arts (WOCA) Leadership Through Mentorship Program is an initiative which pairs emerging and mid-level administrators with more seasoned leaders with the explicit purpose of cultivating long-term professional investment and self-sustainability for women of color in the performing arts field. A first of its kind, it is significant to note that this program is designed for women of color, by women of color. This leadership training program is exclusively aimed at cultivating self-identified female leaders* of color, addressing their specific needs as often marginalized people in the field, while imparting tools to help participants foster a culture of equity in their respective work environments.

The expressed emphasis on mentorship and peer-to-peer learning supersedes many of the widely-held beliefs that formal academic learning and university-based professional training is the primary path to success and sustainability in the arts field. WOCA understands that learning happens in many forms, but it is often from within community that diverse voices and perspectives can emerge, engendering the most critical type of scholarship. WOCA also understands that the success of women in the workplace is largely predicated on the advocacy of women in the workplace so a focus on dismantling individual and institutional bias will also be addressed in the program. Most important, the Leadership through Mentorship Program is aimed at creating a sustainable community for arts leaders of color. While advanced scholarship will take place, the most critical intended outcome is cultivating a sense of community for both professional and personal development of the participant. At the heart of WOCA’s mission is continual community building in an effort to promote solidarity and wider visibility for women of color in the field.

 
*One of WOCA’s core philosophies is centered upon the premise that all women are leaders – no matter their station, title or position.

NEWS: Herb Alpert Award announce 2018 recipients

10/28/2018

PictureOkwui Okpokwasili
The 25th year the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts (HAAIA) will be presented to five risk-taking, mid-career artists who use their talent, vision, and labor to make something that matters within and potentially beyond their field. Okwui Okpokwasili is the recipient in dance.

Since its inception in 1994, the HAAIA has been awarded to 125 artists in the five disciplines of dance, film/video, music, theatre and visual arts. Each artist receives a $75,000 unrestricted prize and a one week residency at the California Institute of the Arts which administers the prize on behalf of the Herb Alpert Foundation. 
Irene Borger, Executive Director of HAAIA since its inception twenty-five years ago, reflects on the motivation behind the establishment of the awards. “The Herb Alpert Award was born in response to fevered cutbacks in the arts; now, in its 25th year, once more we are finding ourselves in an increasingly doctrinaire and retrograde period of extremity. Herb Alpert Award artists understand the necessity of an inclusive society, the beauty of independent thought and give us, year after year, a vital, expanded notion of the possible.”

Among the 125 past winners are noted artists, Carrie Mae Weems, Vijay Iyer, Taylor Mac, Suzan-Lori Parks, Julia Wolfe, Michelle Dorrance, Tania Bruguera, Kerry James Marshall, Lisa Kron, Sharon Lockhart, Ralph Lemon, Cai Guo-Qiang and Okwui Okpokwasili to name a few. 
The awards are adjudicated by three-member panels of respected artists - including many past winners - and arts professionals in each of the five categories. The Herb Alpert Award in the Arts was conceived by legendary musician, philanthropist and artist Herb Alpert and his wife, Grammy-winning vocalist and author,Lani Hall Alpert, to reward creative experimenters who are challenging and transforming art, their respective disciplines, and society. In addition the awards provide vital financial support to each artist at a key juncture in his or her creative development.

PictureLiz Gerring Dance Company "field"
Liz Gerring Dance Company
Peak Performances
October 18 - 21

Gerring premieres field, the final installment in a trilogy of works commissioned by Peak Performances in Montclair, New Jersey. This third collaboration between Gerring, composer Michael J. Schumacher, and designer Robert Wierzel, follows glacier (2013) and horizon (2015).  “field conceives and creates an atmosphere in which the elements—movement, sound, and light—combine to envelope and engage the audience within the unique space and dimensions of the Alexander Kasser Theater. As in previous work, Gerring tests the physical limitations of her dancers; field begins with an extended quartet for the company's four males, during which each dancer remains fixed to a single point, surveying and testing the boundaries and possibilities of his relation to his colleagues. This structure breaks down as new configurations emerge, with the continuous spatial shifting of restless bodies remaining the one constant. Composer Michael J. Schumacher creates a sonic stagescape wherein the sounds of radios, TVs, and megaphones seem to to emerge from invisible sources while Wierzel’s kinetic lighting design enhances the immersive experience,” according to the release.  Find out more here
