	NOTICE: Dear Leaders: You will need to use Wiggio for communication. The WebCT site will be used only for course delivery, not communication. The email feature in this WebCT site has been disabled. We have removed the numbers from the groups in Wiggio, since it appears that this creates tremendous confusion for our class. All of you know your group names and you can find and join the appropriate group in Wiggio. You are instructed to go to Wiggio and join the appropriate group. This has been an assignment for all of you since the beginning of the course. All of you are at least college juniors, so we expect that all of you are able to take the responsibility to manage this tast on your own. Those who have joined Wiggio under your email address need to ammend your profile to display your names, and join the necessary subgroups. We do not know who you are by email address without names attached. - Thanks Joe Gladstone and David Boje

10 ARTS SCENE SKIT IDEAS or Design your Own
Set up a Tamara Theatre with four simultaneous Arts Scenes - Route teams through 3 of the 4, and see if they can be detectives to figure out what is holding back the leadership of Arts Scene?
Skit with three acts (pre, mod, & post) showing the historical evolution of Arts Scene; skit with A-B-C-D-E-F assertiveness situations for Forum Theatre volunteers (draftees) from audience to resolve
Skit showing French & Raven's 5 types of power in Arts Scene
Develop a transorganization meeting of leaders from Arts Scene that has four voices of leadership (either all in one scene, or scene by scene).
A skit with antenarratives of future potentiality of Arts Scene
Living story web-work of Arts Scene
A skit depicting the conflicts between instrumental, categorical, and answerability ethics of Arts Scene
Design skit with answerability ethical scenes in Arts Scene and have volunteers (draftees) lead in Forum Theatre
Skit show the virtual versus the universal (never-changing) approaches to leader traits in Arts Scene
Skit showing difference of linear, cyclic,a nd rhizomatic antenarratives in Arts Scene

 

13 Possible Ideas for Intervention Projects or Create Your Own Imagine the Propserity of our Arts Economy if there were festive events happening all year
a. Organize and lead a sculpture show on downtown Mall or local park - pattern it after Loveland - http://www.lovelandsculpturegroup.org/ Please invite the blacksmiths.
b. Las Cruces 360 needs a new owner/manager/tech support http://lascruces360.com/ that maintains Arts Scene (& real estate) accounts, sells ads, and has Arts Scene calendar - get local artists and arts orgs to use it, to sign up for free account.
c. Develop a democratic governance structure among one of these domains: visual, literary, performing, museums, galleries, performance-theaters (where they elect their own governance chair, vice-chair, secretary-treasurer and make recommendations to Doña Ana Arts Council, or put on their own events).
d. Develop an member association of galleries (public, private, & grassroots) that develops a bus tour and Bed & Breakfast schedule of week end events - pattern it on Silver City Galleries Association model http://www.silvercitygalleries.com/
e. Implement an 'antenarrative' (a bet on the future potentiality) Arts Scene ARTS CONVENTION'S FUTURE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenarrative
f. Build a collaboration between public, private, and grassroots organizations, recognizing their differences and ways to support one another - develop some common event that they undertake (e.g. museums are in public, private & grassroots, as are galleries, and theatres).
g. Develop a festival event this term, that brings people into the Arts Scene - Such as a Spring Fest (or see StoryFest or FilmFest below).
h. Make interlinks between University, Mesilla, and Las Cruces 'Arts Scene' sectors (their leaders), and do a co-generative event.
i. MusicFest. Develop a Music Scene - such as Hip Hop or Jazz or Rock -- etc that has a Music Festival - and make it sustainable so after you are done, someone else takes it over. Colorado has one. Taos has had one for 10 years.
j. Adopt an artist and increase their arts business over next several months by 50%.
k. Build a better relationship between the Crafts events happening twice weekly in Las Cruces & Mesilla with the overall Arts Scene. Every Wed/Sat mornings (8-noon) is Crafts Market & every Sunday/Thurs is Mesilla outdoor market! (Thurs) 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; (Sun) 12-4 p.m.
l. FilmFest. DC has one. So does LA. And Atlanta. Build a film industry that takes performing arts in a new direction. Film New Mexico encourages local communities to take the lead in starting a film industry. Santa Fe has one. So does Taos. Albuquerque has two, Gallup one. FilmFest creates jobs, it means independents and big studios send crews to Mesilla Valley. Leaders from city of Las Cruces, town of Mesilla, and University Creaitve Media Institute would have to cooperate to make such thing happen.
m. StoryFest. There is no annual storytelling festival in Las Cruces. StoryFest is a day of Professional Storyteller Performances; Workshops for Storytelling in Organizations (communication, strategy, leadership, networking); Amateur Storytelling - Open Mic events; storytelling skill building, and a festive time for families, and for organizations. StoryFest could be pilgrimage reenactment, or the tall tale contest, and Waitakere has one, so does Baltimore, and Orlando, and Greenwood has one that lasts over a month. So why not one here for a day, say in Pioneer Park this spring.
n. Create a Las Cruces Arts & Technology Center - There is a National Center for Arts & Technology (NCAT) run by William Stickland Jr (in Pittsburgh). NCAT has replicated arts centers in Cincinnati, San Francisco, Grand Rapids and is seeking to create 200 such centers across the nation, then expand globally. See article on Strikland's life story. The center could be located downtown in an empty building, and combine Arts with job-training for youth, welfare mothers, and displaced workers. In this economy melt-down there are many displaced workers. A faculty of master artisans. The Las Cruces Arts and Technology Center. ApproachNCAT, and other foundations, and apply for funds. The first phase could focus on at-risk youth in our local high schools. It would need to affiliate with Court Youth Center, Alma D'Artes Charter High School, and Las Cruces Public Schools. There could be teachers in photography, digital imaging, ceramics, painting, metal-wood-stone sculpture, blacksmithing, jewelry making, music, film, etc. It could be a non-profit or a cooperative small business venture. The first step would be to find an entrepreneurial director, build a board of directors, recruit master artisans, a fund-raising strategy, and a curriculum.
