Are you a Pd "local leader" in some way for your location? That may be a fairly vague question -- but the practical purpose for New Blankets asking is this:
"Are you interested and able to host Pd *Artists-in-Transit* to visit your area and the groups there which you are affiliated with?" New Blankets is interested in continuing (and increasing!) its support of Pd *Artists-in-Transit* and their tours and activities, worldwide. Those tours, in ways that will depend on the individual AIT and the local interests, might include any and all of the following: -- performance -- public lectures and demonstrations -- workshops and instruction (including tutorials for beginners) -- "round workbench" sessions of sharing techniques among experts As a practical note, the NB Artists in Transit have been a congenial bunch that prefer couch surfing to fancy hotels, will eat pizza or whatever you're serving, etc etc. Nothing fancy or expensive is envisioned -- the bulk of NB AIT expenses in the past have been for travel worldwide. -- (Please pardon the interruption if none of the above is not of interest to you.) -- But if you are interested in hosting/co-ordinating visitors to your area and with your local group, your university, concert hall or what-have-you-to-offer -- please send a quick e-mail reply to: -- [email protected] -- (You are welcome of course to copy the list or not, as you feel appropriate for brainstorming. Tell your friends, too and invite them to email [email protected] ) Once we have a quorum of replies, we'll share those. New Blankets hopes to start making a map, connecting the dots ... and hopefully be helping even more of those terrific Pd Artists-in-Transit get out on the road and sharing Pd art and lore. In the grand scheme of things we hope that all of the micro local-elements like patching circles and pd-weekends and AIT tours can work make the "big show" PdCons even better (and more frequent) when they happen like returning comets. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
