World Leaders...They're Just Like Us
Well, it’s finally here. NATO weekend. I answered a call from a Hot Tix patron yesterday and she was asking about museums and I told her some of them were going to be closed because of the NATO summit, and she said “what’s NATO?” Huh. I said a bunch of world leaders were going to be in town and she said so why are they closing the museums? I dunno I said but you can see some great theatre for half price (remember she called about Hot Tix, these conversations do get off track some times.)
Anyway, nothing much is going on downtown right now, if anything it is less busy than usual. Our building decided to shut down on Monday, so we will be staying home.
I got to wondering exactly what they do at the NATO summit and I went on the website and it sounds pretty boring. Then I got to wondering if maybe they do like we do at conferences, be happy to see our friends we haven’t seen in a while and bitch about our jobs and commiserate about how hard everything is. No press is allowed in the room. Newly elected French leader Francois Hollande will have to wear a white ribbon on his name tag that says “I’m New,” everyone will tell him they never liked Sarkozy anyway. The guy from Pakistan won’t be invited to the dinner. The gay leaders will all go up to Boys Town and be late for the first meeting the next morning. They’ll all go home saying best NATO summit ever.
They are going to be talking about how to get out of Afghanistan, and that is serious stuff, but I like to think “World leaders…they’re just like us.”

Chicago Arts Marketing IdeaLAB
Announcing - the first Chicago Arts Marketing IdeaLAB will take place this August! A day-long opportunity to get beyond the day-to-day and explore big-picture inspiration and strategy. Modeled after the National Arts Marketing Project's "Think Tank: Unlocking Strategy with Marketing Masters," the day will include inspiration in the form of six short 8-minute case studies to get the conversation started, time devoted to in-depth discussion and idea sharing around hot topics, and networking with peers from across Chicago's arts marketing community.
The planning committee is currently seeking applications/nominations for case study presentations.
Has your organization tackled and conquered a specific marketing challenge? Is there an innovative project at another organization that recently caught your attention? We're looking for case studies representing a variety of organizations and budget levels, covering theatre, music, dance, museums and visual arts, that will be relevant to and applicable for IdeaLAB attendees.

Theatre Bay Area Announces Duke Foundation Intrinsic Impact Study Subsidy
Theatre Bay Area is excited to announce that, thanks to generous support from the Doris Duke Foundation, up to thirty theatre organizations across the country will be able to survey their audiences using the intrinsic impact questions developed for the Counting New Beans study released earlier this year at a reduced cost. These questions, and the unique surveying technology developed through that project, will allow arts organizations to quickly and easily survey their audiences on the impact of the art and immediately see and explore the results. Through this program, theatre organizations will also receive 3-5 hours of consulting with the project director of Counting New Beans, Clayton Lord, in order to develop their survey, understand results, and construct actionable steps.
To apply for this subsidy, please visit: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/905492/Intrinsic-Impact-Subsidies-Application. All theatre organizations of all sizes and variations in the United States are eligible to apply for this subsidy, and organizations that do not get this subsidy are still eligible to participate for the full fee.
Any questions should be directed to clay@theatrebayarea.org, and the deadline to apply is June 3, 2012.
Information on the Subsidy:
1) This subsidy is only available to theatre organizations in the United States. That said, intrinsic impact work (and the web interface and support system Theatre Bay Area has piloted with WolfBrown) is available to all genres throughout the world. So if you are not a theatre company in the United States, but are interested in doing this work, please email Clayton Lord at clay@theatrebayarea.org to be pointed in the right direction.
2) The basic fee structure for intrinsic impact assessment through Theatre Bay Area is as follows: $1,000 one-time setup fee per organization to build your basic survey, provide you with tutorials on the basic concepts, and map out a plan for future surveying, plus $500 per production you choose to survey. The Duke Foundation provides a subsidy of $1,000 per organization for 30 organizations, which covers the setup fee. This means that any theatre organization conducting this work will have a minimum fee outlay of $500. We recommend, but do not require, that organizations doing this work for the first time plan to survey multiple productions over the course of a season to get a baseline. The fees associated with this process are for the consulting time necessary on Theatre Bay Area’s part to help each organization craft their survey and learn how to navigate and analyze their own results.
3) The subsidy is meant to allow Theatre Bay Area to provide support to a cohort of thirty diverse organizations (diverse in all senses) within the theatre field of the United States. We will be taking into account board, staff and audience diversity, organization size, geographic location, type of work/mission, and proposed projects. That said, even if you do not get the subsidy, you will be welcome to participate in the surveying program.
Information on the application process:
1) Applications are due by June 3, 2012.
2) If you have any questions along the way, please email clay@theatrebayarea.org.

A Debate on Funding
I was very excited to see this article – a debate on funding! But, there’s not a whole lot new there. I was a little disappointed that it didn’t go deep enough and I have to say that I’m a little tired of the postage stamp argument (NEA funding equals the cost of a postage stamp per capita). At my first job as a house manager I proudly wore a postage stamp pinned to my shirt so patrons would ask me about it. It was a nationwide thing. I don’t think that argument is working lo these many, I won’t say how many, years later.
Financing our work is one of our most difficult and important challenges and I do believe that we need to change it but to change we need to risk and I don’t know if any of us are in a position to risk anything. Is the answer as one of the writers in the article above seems to think, to focus all of our efforts on individual donors? Would it be more advantageous to do more advocacy work and increase the pool of money available to arts organizations, leaving the distribution of those monies in someone else’s hands? Could we come together and make a more compelling argument than the postage stamp argument? Than the economic generator argument? Will we ever be able to make a coherent argument that the arts are just as important as health and human services? Will we ever be able to lead the discussions about funding for the arts?
Maybe we need to think more entrepreneurially – to look toward more “earned” income streams. But how realistic is that – how much more can we “earn” over ticket sales? Can we lower our costs through more efficiencies, I would say yes, but again, not by much. And the investment of human capital in both of those ventures is huge. The need for funding from outside sources will always be there. How can we make it work better for our organizations, how can we take risks together that might improve the funding climate for all?

Physical Theatre Workshop with Doug Berky
Explore masks, movement, and mime in an intensive workshop with skilled physical theatre performer Doug Berky. Through a combination of mask work and physical improvisation, learn how to fully utilize your body to develop dynamic characters. Doug combines the traditions of Commedia d'ell arte, Marcel Marceau, and Charlie Chaplin for a truly unique performance style that will expand your skills as an actor and storyteller. The workshop is hosted by Halcyon Theatre
Date: Saturday, May 12 from 2-5.
Cost: $50.

For nearly thirty years, Doug Berky has brought classic solo physical-theatre performances to stages all over the world, transcending age, race and culture. Using the illusion of the mime, the antics of the clown, the transformation of his own handmade, original and exquisite masks, the suspense of a good story and the excitement of improvisation, Doug inspires laughter... and reflection.
