Since the positions as team leaders and members are limited, everyone who would like to participate should proceed to add their name and email where they think is suitable. (Those that would like to be team leaders should especially hurry up as places are very limited)

This is the place again to add your details on the spreadsheet
on the LMS > Course materials > Digital performance > Teams: Leaders and Participants

This will help with taking the project to the next level of having group meetings as soon as required.

Hello Everyone!
If you are finding it difficult to get notified regarding new posts, I downloaded the mobile app PADLET and now I receive notifications whenever anyone posts anything.

If you worry about too many notifications ringing, just set notifications ON and notification sounds OFF (within PADLET app in settings).

Brilliant, thank you Amir - Anna

Ideas.  From Lin Ya (Connie)Hi, guys. Due to the digital performance theme, I think we can design some creative interactive activities during the performance or at the end of the performance. Firstly, we could find a good video and show it. All the audience will get a VR glasses to watch this video. After watching, asking them to draw a painting. According to their painting, we could select some outstanding works and give them awards. Every audience can participate our interactive activity. Secondly, artists could invite some volunteers (audience) to the stage, creating a short different performance. More importantly, because the interactive part, we should find a venue which is open and have a large stage. We also can not let the audience sit in the traditional way, they can watch performances in various new ways, such as around the stage or on both sides of the stage etc.

Hi guys, I would like to suggest that we choose a musical genre which would allow us to narrow down a list of potential artists for the performance. ie. Jazz, Rock Pop, Electro Pop, Funk, Folk... The chosen genre could also be liaised with a theme.
As a result, it will be easier for the curating team to pick an artist and therefore communicate an intention.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi guys, checking out the Stoneclap webpage I understand that they contact the artists directly. We would only have to pick the artist, which makes things much easier in regards to liaison.

Caterina:
Hey Daniela, I had the same kinda questions, so I asked Iulian, and this is what he said (over in the general comment stream).

"You have full control over the event, you can find/decide on the artist and contact them about the gig, prepare venue etc. I'll need to help you with the tech side (audio system setup, artist tech setup), but for everything else, feel free to take over :)"

# data[].attributes.body
TO CONSIDER:
Where will be the projection? Due to being a virtual gig, we can play around with where we want to position the artist. E.g. we can project them on the ceiling, or a round surface (like a column - if wide enough) ... The only important aspect is that we can put the camera nearby the projection, so that when we look at the projection the artist sees us looking at them. That's important for the communication - e.g. when we wave at them, we want to be clear we are waving at them, not someone else, so they can wave back
etc.

# data[].attributes.body

Add your name, contact details (if you wish), your skills and/or experience, plus anything else you might want to add.

Probably, we can choose the team we'd like to join in at first and post all the details you have mentioned in the team.That will be more effective. The people who join in the same team can know each other quickly.

Firstly, I am supportive of Dalia's ideas and we should show our respect to the artists and make them feel being appreciated.

However, the way to achieve this goal are multiple,instead of paying for them directly.(If we won't have too much money)

According to my previous experience, the source of the budget can be what i will mention below.  (Based on it's a students program)
1\sponsor- main part (business companies or related organisation)
For example, instrument brand/ dancing studio/music teaching organisation / drinks's brand and so on.
we should make a project on mutual benefit and win-win result before we start to find our sponsor.
Apart from we are initiative to find sponsors,  we can post "Finding sponsor" on social media and explain clearly how can we make promotion of sponsor's brand and what can we provide with.

2\box office - the second important part. This point is easy to understand. Selling tickets can earn money.

3\donation from ourselves. Actually,i think,it's a small part of our income.

One more to add, I think payment is not the only way to reflect the value of the artist.We can create a win-win mechanism through the model of cooperation, if we don't have enough money.Generally speaking, regard to the salary in professional standard ,the budget be a huge number.
I want to share a simple example. A bookshop provides the space for musicians to perform without rental ,but the tickets of the performance are free for the VIP customer from the bookshop. The purpose of bookshop is attracting more potential customers (the audience who are interested in music may be interested in reading )and showing gratefulness to the VIP customers. When it comes to musicians, they can get free space and the VIP customers may become their fans after watching their performance and buy the tickets of their performance next time ,even though they don't need to pay for the ticket this time.
That's what I mentioned "a win-win mechanism through the model of cooperation"- we can provide what they need and want, and we can get what we need, like "resource exchange".

(Cat)
Can you elaborate on your bookshop hypothetical? I'm not quite sure if I understand.

RE CAT:
Sorry, i didn't explain clearly before.And i edit this post again. if you have any questions on it ,just tell me.

Caterina: Hi all!
Quick question - is everyone happy using Padlet to organise this, or would you prefer moving to another platform (like Slack or Trello for example)? Or maybe even after brainstorming is done? If it’s okay with Natalia of course. I know it’s hard to answer for others, so feel free to add your own preference.

# data[].attributes.body
(Dalia)

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd tune in regarding the payment of the artist/s we'd want to involve. I completely agree with Ndevonish (on the curation padlet stream) about payment - and I think it's crucial, as arts managers (or producers) that we acknowledge our responsibility in terms of fair pay. Artists are all too often asked to perform or contribute to projects in exchange for little/no pay, simply on the basis of the nature of their work.
We are a very large class this year, and I think it would a wonderful opportunity for us each to contribute anything up to 5$ (anonymously perhaps) to remunerate the artist for their work.

What do you think?
Let's be an example, rather than part of the problem

Well, I have some ideas. Could we invite those artists to have a short conversation with students? We could prepare some questions about their choices, careers and difficulties? Cause I think not only their arts are awesome, they are attractive people too. Their life experiences may reflect the history and development of arts and can give us some inspirations.
Secondly, we could also invite some poets or writers to read their works including their poetry or any part they like most or they think most meaningful for us and we could communicate about these works

(from Dalia)

As I'm sure we all know, the organisation of any event can be a logistical and stressful nightmare (no matter how involved and excited we are in the project). With such a huge class this year, I think we should bear in mind that not everyone will manage to be equally involved - as it'll be impossible to get weekly (even monthly) input from 100+ students and expect productive outcomes.

It might then be an idea to divide into two (or more?) groups? (this could work in line with the international/local artist idea) - this might give everyone a slightly better chance to become involved if they want to..?

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to suggest that we pick a musical genre and then suggest artists. This would allow us to have a better input

# data[].attributes.body
(From Heyuan)
There are some ideas on the theme.
- The theme for the whole digital performance: MIXTURE

- Any kinds of mixed art are welcomed .The following views may or may not be correct , they are only for your reference.
[1] combine your national forms of art and the international one.
(for example , some Chinese pop music combines the western music style with the Chinese traditional instruments )
[2] combine avant-garde art with old-fashion one. (for example, some modern and contemporary dances and old folk music are mixed  )
[3] The only requirement is what you perform is not the single form of art.

-The theme "MIXTURE" is aimed to show the multicultural word which literally we are facing and our creativity which is the one of the most important characteristics for young people.
We can have different understanding on "MIXTURE ",including the nation and international, the present and the past, single kind of art and interactive performances and so on.

Nadia:

Hey folks, just wondering what kind of budget we're looking at for this show? I think this will help inform what kind of artists we're able to program as well as how many.

Also are there established time constraints we're working within?

From ndevonish: I would also like to  know about budget. It's great to invite artists to perform, but as people working (or hoping to work) in the arts it's equally important to keep in mind that artists should be fairly compensated for their work and time.

# data[].attributes.body
Nadia: Yeah I think both dividing up in groups and having them based on interests / areas of experience are good ideas.

A few ideas for working groups that are coming to mind:

- Event management
- Lineup curation
- Location booking
- Artist booking and liaision
- Event logistics (minus the tech side which is a nice weight off of our chests haha)
- Marketing? Are we making this stream available to audiences beyond the classroom?

Please let me know your thoughts folks.

Also, I think we need to know some further details like budgetary constraints, will pop this in the general comments

I agree with Dalia. With such a big class, it is really difficult for everyone to have 100% full chance to get involved in this project deeply. And it will be normal that there are conflicts and problems. Dividing into groups is a good idea. How about dividing different people into different groups which are responsible for different tasks according to each person's interests and abilities? I know some of my classmates in this class learned different undergraduate majors and their intern experiences are unique too. Maybe these studies and experiences can help them have better performance in some works

From Caterina:
How much of the event are we managing? Is it just a matter of deciding who and what we want and contacting Iulian, or do we have more control? Or currently unspecified? Can we invite Iulian to the padlet to ask him questions?

From Iulian:
I'm already here, just checking with a bit of a delay due to timezone difference. You have full control over the event, you can find/decide on the artist and contact them about the gig, prepare venue etc. I'll need to help you with the tech side (audio system setup, artist tech setup), but for everything else, feel free to take over :)

Caterina:
Champion! Thank you so much Iulian! I’m sure we’ll have a lot to ask you.

From ndevonish:
I like Natalia's idea about promoting an Australian singer/group and an international group. I know two Australian artists who would be a good fit: WMN in Adelaide (ft Wallis Prohpet ) and Joni in the Moon who is based in Perth. Happy to link with them if anyone is interested.

Natalia: Thank you for sharing! great ideas!

Nadia: Definitely seconding Joni in the Moon, great idea ndevonish. Her performances are always very compelling and would work well with the Stoneclap medium.

From ndevonish: Joni is the best. Exceptionally talented and a lovely person. I think she'd be well into a Stoneclap performance. When we get to the booking stage I'm happy to contact her if the class is interested.

From Jie Li

First of all I have to say I am really inspired by Heyuan’s ideas. And I agree with her that we should settle a theme first. I personally very interested in films and the of course the theme songs. What about we invite a group of bands musicians and reproduce the classical films’ theme songs? Like Titanic, Harry Porter, and La La Land perhaps? These are the movies and songs we are more likely to be familiar with, thus it might be more engaging and attractive?
Natalia: sounds like a great idea!

Anna: Cool idea, just remember we would need to check about copyright restrictions/APRA licences etc. Typically a university has a general licence to use materials for educational purposes, but in my experience permission still needs to be sought for the use of songs (including interpretation by new artists).

From Natalia: Great question! thanks! The concert will be right after the Public Lecture 6:15-7:15 pm. around 7:30 pm ...

# data[].attributes.body
From Heyuan Xing: Actually, I am really interested in this activity and I have some good performance selection including some music companies, music radio stations and performers in China which I can contact. But I think we should set the theme of the whole performance and some topics for different parts in advance. For example, if the theme of performance is JAZZ NIGHT, we can think who we can invite and what kind of songs ,dancing, or instrument playing can be involved. If there are more some specific requirements on this activity, such as styles,genres, topics, etc., I guess more people can give their ideas.

From Natalia: Heyuan, this is a really great point!!! I think we need to make a call for curators who will be responsible for  offering ideas and collecting info from the class community! Would you be willing to be on the curator team? Your connections make you a great fit!

Reply Natalia: Definitely, I'd like to join in. But I am new here, actually i arrived Melbourne one week ago. I am not really familiar with the university and city.  If it doesn't mention to much, it's my pleasure to be on the curator team. Probably, we can ask if there anybody else wanting to join in ?

# data[].attributes.body
Rosemary
I know we could have the music from anywhere, but what if we could support a local band from somewhere like the Victorian College of the Arts or Melbourne Conservatorium to help them prepare for their performance assessment?

Natalia: its an interesting idea! maybe we could combine two performances between a local group and an international one?

Nadia: I like this idea Rosemary and Natalia! It's a good opportunity for not only us to connect with artists other cultural contexts but for local artists to also do so :) an interesting curatorial element could be selecting the international and local artists based on how they each interpret a broad theme we decide on. Could be a good focus for the interactive segment too.

Qazim: The combination of performances sounds great. It would be a great dialogue between the two groups - or a "duet" of some form? Even better if it's a group of students / young artists AND a senior group of performers (Inter-generational engagement in its finest).
In terms of logistical requirements for this to happen, would we need two screens though?

Iulian (Stoneclap): Please take into account that only one artist and one audience can connect over Stoneclap at a time. We can have several artists one after another, but they won't be able to see/talk with each other. That is by design, so that the artist can focus and personalize the performance to on that one audience and it doesn't feel like a broadcast to the entire Internet.
