2008 Alternate ROOTS Annual Meeting Back to the ROOTS: Rememberance, [R]evolution, [Re]envisioning August 5 - 10, 2008 - Lutheridge Conference Center, Arden, NC
Alternate ROOTS is partnering with ArtSpot Productions this year on our 32nd Annual Meeting: "Remembrance, [R]evolution, [Re]envisioning". As one of our great member companies that has done award winning experimental theatre work at the intersection of art and activism for 13 years, we are thrilled to be engaging ArtSpot to help us identify, curate and program the annual meeting with a specific eye towards examining and honoring ROOTS' theatrical roots! ArtSpot company members will work closely with ROOTS' staff, Executive Committee, Annual Meeting Coordinator and Annual Meeting Workgroup to help plan and execute our next great annual meeting.
Annual Meeting 2008 Applications Now Available Over the past 32-years, Alternate ROOTS has developed to become an active network of artists and cultural workers converging at the intersection of art and activism. As the organization continues to develop new ways of serving its network of members, we invite members to submit proposals for Artist Studios during the 32nd Annual Meeting. This year we are going Back to our ROOTS and examining the role theatre has played in the history and development of Alternate ROOTS. We will not be limiting proposals to theatre but please keep our theme in mind as you read the following materials.
Studio Applications In 2003 Alternate ROOTS members chose to make Uprooting Racism a programmatic priority, recognizing that in the Southeast, this oppression continues to dominate communities. Artist Studios selected for the 2008 Annual Meeting will provide artists and facilitators with opportunities to share their work and dialogue with peers about the impact of their work and how it relates to, responds to or works to combat issues of racism, injustice and oppression as stated in our mission. This opportunity also offers facilitators a laboratory to explore how their work reflects the mission and values of Alternate ROOTS and to view their work through a lens and perspective of the Resources for Social Change program.
