    About Lane's World

    Yet, my job is extraordinarily interesting, one that has me seeing many different performing artists and making many different considerations as to what line-up of artists constitutes a relevant and provocative mix for our audiences. In my mind, what makes my job a little limited is that aside from writing for grants, press releases, and marketing copy; I have little time for more formally processing and documenting the considerations I make while looking at the world around me and putting together a season for OtB. This blog is a step towards more consistently putting my thoughts down in a format that will allow any one who is interested to follow along. But more importantly, this blog is an effort to get me to write more so I can, as my high school english teacher used to say, see what I think.

About Lane's World
I have one of those weird jobs that is hard to describe to the person sitting next to you on an airplane. Essentially, I'm a producer, a producer of the performing arts. More specifically, I find interesting artists and projects, and program them for audiences at a contempoary art center in Seattle, WA known as On the Boards (OtB). As such, people who do what I do are often referred to as "presenters." Some people go as far as to call this job "curating," and me, a "curator." While I find this nomicker flattering and desirable, I, in all honesty, think it is rather high falutin for what I do and inaccurately elevates my status as a programmer to the level of practice more commonly associated with visual arts curators and museum science.
