If you’re in or around the Austin, Texas, area, come see me! I’ll be presenting a public lecture & discussion on Wednesday, June 24, at 6:30 pm at the Carver Museum & Cultural Center (attendance is free, but registration is required). The public session will cap two days of conversation with members of the Austin Circle of Theaters and the Create Austin crowd, as well as other members of the larger ‘creative ecology.’
I’ll be connecting these conversations to a larger discussion of creative ecologies, the existing and essential interconnections between nonprofit, for-profit, community, informal, and personal expressive opportunities.
Austin completed a community cultural plan last year, Create Austin, and this discussion is a way to frame and advance their next steps. I’m looking forward to the visit. Hope to see some of you there!
I was struck by your presentation title as I’ve just written a book called ‘Creative Ecologies: Where Thinking is a Proper Job’ based on my work at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, so i would be interested in the results of your meeting. John
